As the days heat up, Mundaring’s shady beer gardens in the Perth Hills are made for long lunches, cold drinks and live tunes. Whether you’re chasing a Sunday Session or a cheeky mid-week gig, these local favourites have you covered.
You don’t have to wait until Sunday for live music at The Mahogany Inn and Distillery. Their packed line-up often includes mid-week gigs – perfect for a hump-day night out. Savour pub classics, with a lively soundtrack, in the leafy dog-friendly beer garden. The historic spot has its very own award-winning distillery on site, as well as plenty of comfortable rooms to stay and truly make a night of it.
Kick off the weekend in style with live music on Friday nights at ‘The Parky’. There’s plenty of room for a boogie on the dance floor at the federation-style Parkerville Tavern. Grab a spot in the beer garden, share a few pizzas, and soak up live music all weekend long. Plus, if the kids are tagging along, they’ll love the playground and big green tractor. See their socials for this week’s gig guide.
Overlooking the iconic Goldfields Pipeline, the historic Mundaring Weir Hotel has long been a mainstay of Perth’s live music scene, hosting large concerts over the decades. Coming up in early 2026 are Comfortably Numb, an acclaimed Pink Floyd tribute act, and Aussie indie rockers Grinspoon. See their website for details.
Mount Helena Tavern is a vibrant social hub for ‘Mounties’ locals and visitors alike. Its rustic charm, hearty meals and family-friendly beer garden make it a favourite of many. See their socials for what’s happening this week, plus their Christmas Eve Party is legendary!
Relax in the shaded beer garden at The Mundaring Hotel, where there’s always something happening. It’s a top spot for a laid-back beer garden lunch, while soaking up the atmosphere and tunes setting the scene for an easy afternoon.
