What to Expect @ The Deen
By Breeana Humphreys
Sitting majestically in the middle of Northbridge is The Deen, a popular club choice for many young Perth people. Now, free entry clubs in that part of town have always made me a bit iffy. It can have the tendency to attract the type of people that prefer to settle their issues with a brawl rather than a good old fashioned dance off. Yet after my night at The Deen I'm still kicking away!
I'm putting this down to the size of the place. The Deen is massive, consisting of nine different bars. I started my Saturday night at the smaller boutique bar, which has a distinctly Modern Edwardian feel to it. This can perhaps be due to the fireplaces and the girls in tight dresses. I have heard fusion is fashionable. Anyway, it's newly renovated and was a nice place to sit with friends and have a couple of drinks.
Wandering through the place at midnight, we were starting to wonder where everybody was. And then we stumbled (literally) across the huge dance floor. Packed with people, the DJ played a lot of dance/top 40 music that kept everyone busting out the moves.
The drink prices are pretty average, except on Manik Mondays when you can get $8.50 jugs and $5.60 spirits. Mix that with a limbo competition and the pretty soon you're favourite day of the week will be Monday.
Particularly popular with University students and those under 25, The Deen is one of those venues that has something for everyone. Whether you choose the live-band or dance music, an intimate bar or a club dance floor, you can guarantee on having a fun night out.
The Deen is open Monday and Saturday 6pm-2am, Thursday and Friday 5pm-2am and Sunday 4pm-10pm.
A 2nd Look @ The Deen
By Delysha Pick
The Deen on Monday is Perth's Industry night of nights. The who's who of hospitality comes out to play outside the bar after a hard weekends work behind the bar. When the Deen hosts this event every Monday, big things are expected as their greatest critics are those in the know. I took a look last Monday to see if the Deen can impress.
The Deen is known for its impressive decor, with many of Perth's modeling talent using this location (almost weekly) as a hotspot for photoshoots. The Industry's bar has possibly had more bare naked skin on top of it than any beach in Swanborne, this may or may not include my own. The interior decor ranges from deep purples, greys, blacks and feature reds, very impressive on the eyes with a cosy, warm and sophisticated feel. Seating area within the industry section is ample, a perfect place for a weekly catch up with mates. However in the outsiders area there is minimal seating and patrons forced to stand, smoke in the two designated smoking areas, play pool or boogie the night away to the band on the dancefloor.
Ages in the venue range from 18 to 30, with a general happy party vibe here.
Drinks prices are a real winner in the Industry section. I'm personally not too sure how management make a profit from them starting from $5 for any base spirits, shooters and possibly the cheapest Jager Bombs in Perth. If you're a drinker and love to party, there is no, and I mean no, cheaper place to be. The drinks are not only of value for money but of high quality and class. Fresh limes in your glass seem a distant memory at some night clubs but not here, if you smile nicely enough as Andy he'll give you two. Drink service is also as bigger tick than the price. If I had to mark drink service off on a check list I would not just tick the box but cover the whole box with gold stars. Andy and the boys have really transformed the art of flairing to make your drink purchase and experience, not just a purchase. Watching the boys 'do their thing' is something words cannot really describe. With more ice in the air at times than in the ice wells, the boys clearly pull off their best moves to show the other industry workers just what the Deen is made of. Two big thumbs up in the department from me.
The atmosphere is quite relaxed. A good tempo for meeting up with friends, having a few drinks (or a few too many) and having a good old chat. The newly renovated outside smoking area within the Industry section is as impressive as the Brisbane Hotel courtyard. Hightables and chairs in matched with the plant pots and lighting truly set the mood for an enjoyable night out. Another positive for the venue is the venue manager himself, yes the one and only Mr Smiley Theeps. It is good to see, actually it's fantastic to see, a manager interacting with patrons and welcoming them to the venue, I haven't noticed this at any other Perth venue yet. This one on one welcoming approach not only impresses me, but keeps the other industry workers coming back week after week.
The Deen's most popular nights are Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. The venue is also a well known hangout for backpackers so if you're looking for a Swedish lass in desperate need of a marriage visa, and lets face it what single man isn't, head on down and you might just bag that blonde haired, blue-eyed girl you've been waiting for. Jokes aside, I have to say the Deen on a Monday is hands down my venue of choice for the entire week. I much prefer to be a critic than a free advertisement but I must give credit where credit is due. The Deen truly comes up triumphs over any club I have seen in Perth so far. It is a tribute to the venue to hold the Industry night itself and has clearly been recognized in the industry as one of Perths leading venues. A big 10 out of 10 from me (and remember this as it will possibly never happen again). Highly recommended.
