Why You Should Care About Joondalup Pubs (Spoiler: The Beers Are Great)
If you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking, “Where can I find a pub in Joondalup that doesn’t smell like regret and stale peanuts?” Fair question. We get it—pub hunting is like dating; you want a place that’s got character, knows what it’s doing, and maybe serves something that isn’t just “mystery brew.” Joondalup’s pubs have evolved from “basic” to “brutal” (in the good way). Let’s dive into the ones that’ll make you forget you’re in a suburb and not a speakeasy in 1920s Chicago.
The Pubs That Make You Say, “Wait, This Is Joondalup?”
Joondalup isn’t exactly the first place folks think of when they say “pub crawl,” but that’s where you’re wrong. These pubs have the craft beer game so tight, they should hand out diplomas. Let’s break down the big ones.
- Pub A: The Craft Beer Connoisseur’s Playground – This place has more taps than a water park, and the menu is a love letter to local breweries. Pro tip: Ask the bartender if they’ve tried the “Wheaty Witch”—it’s like a Belgian witbier that’s been moonlit under a full moon.
- Pub B: Where Live Music Meets Live Resumes – Yes, the live band is good. No, the owner isn’t related. This spot’s vibe is “I’m a pub but I’m also your best friend’s basement that somehow got air conditioning.” The trivia nights are legendary—if you lose, you owe the winner a round. Always.

What Makes a Pub “The Best”? (It’s Not Just the Beers)
Let’s get real: a “best pub” is subjective. Some want a quiet place to read, others want to scream karaoke into a mic. Here’s what we found in Joondalup:
- Beer Selection – If the tap list has more than three IPAs, you’re in the right place.
- Food That Doesn’t Suck – Because beer tastes better with food that doesn’t taste like it was cooked by a toaster.
- Vibe – The difference between “cool” and “creepy” is often the lighting.

FAQs About Joondalup Pubs (Because You’re Asking Anyway)
1. Are there any pubs that don’t play 2000s pop music on repeat?
Yes, but they’re rare. Bring earplugs or a therapist.
2. What if I have a food allergy and want to survive?
Most pubs now have a “gluten-free” option. Just don’t ask for a salad—it’s a pub, not a salad bar.
3. Can I bring my dog?
Only if your dog is a trained beer taster. And even then, probably not. Some pubs have “pet-friendly” hours, but we’re not telling you which ones.
