Ball & Chain

BEST FREMANTLE BAR

The Ball and Chain is one of the best Fremantle bars in Perth where you’ll find genuine, down-to-earth good service from our epic bar staff. Settle yourself in the large main bar with TVs playing live sport, in the quiet Bourbon lounge with floor-to-ceiling spirit library or get some sun and people watch in the beer garden overlooking the greenery of Esplanade Park. Dogs welcome in the beer garden… just make sure you let our staff know (so they can have pat and give your furry friend some water).

PERTH PUB GRUB AND TOP BEVVIES

The lush pub grub menu includes mouth-watering burgers dripping wth saucy goodness, our “world famous in Perth” southern fried chicken tenderloins, generous chicken and haloumi salad, and tempting pizzas. Plus lots of cheap eats to keep you going like onion rings, fries and jalapeno poppers.

Wash down all that great food with the Matilda Bay craft beer on tap, a range of local cans (#canculture), wines, whiskies, bourbons, scotches, rums and other enjoyable spirits.

UNIQUE FUNCTION VENUE IN PERTH

The Ball and Chain is one of Fremantle’s oldest pubs and one of the most important historical sites in Western Australia – it housed the first 75 convicts arrived in Fremantle on 1 June 1850. In 1896 the building on the site was first used as a Hotel and later became a well-known corner pub ‘Hubbles’ after its owner; a meeting place for the working class of Perth’s Fremantle suburb with boxing tournaments out the back and dock-workers picked up on the veranda who sat on the timber benches still outside today.

Over the years, the Pub has been beautifully restored, highlighting some of the unique features of yesteryear and tastefully decorated with warm timber and copper finishes. The main bar has the original timber from the Matilda Bay Brewery right here in Fremantle.
