Mixing a lengthy vino list with plenty of New York-inspired style, this bar attracts wine buffs keen to explore the vineyard-born nuances lingering inside each tipple.
The word on the grapevine is that wine is the new beer in WA, and Grapeskin is Perth's most hip and sophisticated spot to get a skinfull of the white, red and sparkling stuff. Sitting comfortably beside its iconic big sister, The Brass Monkey, the Manhattanesque Grapeskin has earned itself an equally admirable reputation. Since its doors first opened onto William Street in 2000, it has won the hearts of wine-savvy suits and culture vultures of all kinds. Grapeskin has also won the Australian Hotels Association's gong for 'Best Wine List' in 2003 and 2004. Showcasing the finest works of premium Australian and French wine-producers, the extensive and ever-changing list features over 280 labels (35 of which are available by the glass). It offers makes interesting reading and slur-worthy drinking. Decked out with a polished marble-topped bar and comfy Italian leather couches, this spot serves up creative cocktails, bar snacks and an a la carte menu. The cigar cabinet is stocked with 40 different smoky offerings. Live jazz from the Jasmin Nelson Trio features on Wednesdays and DJs play progressive funk and house on Fridays and Saturdays.
After having a meal at the Moon Cafe we went into the Grapeskin for a couple of drinks. It was busy, the atmosphere was very good, plenty of groups having tapas and enjoying a drink. Good selection of wines, a little bit expensive but will go again.
