What to Expect @ The Breakwater

By Lidia Aniela

Out in Perth's sprawling northern suburbs, finding a decent drink dispensary can be a challenge. If the local tavs and alehouses aren't your scene, it's slim pickings in the options leftover. But with every rule there comes an exception - in this case, the Breakwater is that exception.

Aptly named, the Breakwater sits perched at the edge of Sorrento Quay in Hillarys Boat Harbour. In recent times this multi level establishment has developed a reputation as the major drawing card of the northern suburbs, pulling crowds from all corners of Perth's metro radius. It's secret for success? Great atmos, ringside views of the Indian Ocean and a standout drinks menu to placate even the hardest-to-please patrons.

In a previous life this venue was known as The Breakwater Tavern. Around 2008 the owners ordered a re-work, eschewing the Breaky's image as a working class watering hole in favour of a more sophisticated model for fine wining and dining. As they say in Hollywood, it's amazing what a little work can do. Post-facelift, the Breakwater boasts a slew of prestigious awards including Australian Hotels Association 'Best Overall Hotel' in 2010 and has won over a whole new (and much younger) customer base.

The immense building is spliced into four interior spaces- dominating the ground floor is the appropriately monikered Lower Deck. Thankfully, there's not an iota of nautical kitsch in sight. Here, minimalist and sleek is the name of the game. The Lower Deck spills out into an al fresco area, creating the perfect backdrop to enjoy a western sunset with a signature Western Sunset cocktail in hand (or for the gents, a frosty draught beer) If you can't fathom a bevvie without a bite, fear not. The gourmet snacks featured on the restrobar menu will tide you well through a Sunday session. On weekends, you can even come back for breakfast. Be warned though despite the surroundings, beachwear is an absolute no-no. Avoid a fashion faux pas and go for 'Hello, sailor' rather than beach bum.

One floor up you'll find Reid's Lounge, where twinkling Swarovski chandeliers and dark timber columns blend to create the last word in cocktail bar decadence. There's a tangible air of what it must have felt like to order a Manhattan on the Titanic. Your jaw might hit the floor in tandem with the wine list, so be prepared to part with your hard-earned. In a celebratory mood? Armand de brignanc 'Ace of Spades' bubbly will set you back a cool $550 a pop. Also located on the top level is the Akoya Suite, a private function space, and Ishka Restaurant.

In just two years the revamped Breakwater has revitalized Perth's northern beaches. It's stylish, it's modern, and like the Titanic, the Breaky shows no signs of slowing down.
