Negotiate the laneway entrance via the James St cul-de-sac – behind Alex Hotel – to discover one of Perth's most easy-going rooftop bars. Share one of the big pine tables on the deck or nab a bar stool. Brilliant cocktails are readily shaken, craft beers are on tap, and you can even order in a gourmet burger from sister venue, Flipside, downstairs.
