Nestled on the urban border of Northbridge’s creative hub and the corporate city, The Standard Bar Garden and Kitchen is a refreshing mix of breezy cool and easy fun, poured into a garden oasis.

Conceived and designed by owner, John Parker, The Standard has used modern pops and twists to complement the building’s industrial heritage. The open plan kitchen, 10 metre long bar, concrete block walls, glass bricks, and local timbers, are synonymous with the industrial style, while distinct use of colour, art, feature lighting, reflection, and plenty of greenery throughout the venue all unite to create a vibe that is alive and kicking.

The outdoor Wine Garden is The Standard’s enchanted sanctuary and its unique point of difference. Designed as a revitalising green oasis and respite from the city jungle outside, the Wine Garden is unlike any other venue in Northbridge or the CBD. Patrons can be found unwinding blissfully with a cocktail carafe, immersed in greenery, colourful shade and twinkling lights, or venturing upstairs to The Deck to enjoy the spectacular Perth city backdrop.

Being ‘female friendly’ is first and foremost at The Standard, and all staff are geared towards creating and maintaining a space that feels safe, relaxed and completely conducive to happy, stress-free socialising.

The open plan kitchen was designed to be visible from the bar, allowing food-lovers to observe the chefs in action.

Soundtown designed and installed the audio system which comprised of six Quest MS801 8” speakers (two in main dining area and four outside in courtyard), two refurbished (by Soundtown) vintage Bose 901 speakers in the main dining area and two Quest QTC1080 ceiling speakers in the toilets. A QTC 4 channel digital amplifier powered the system with a Samson S-Zone 4 zone mixer for control.
