It mightn't be posh and shiny, but this town-favourite boozer knows how to get the job done.
The 'Leedy' (as the regulars call it), knows no such thing as a quiet Friday or Saturday night. This local mainstay has been pulling a crowd since anyone can remember. Catering to both sports fans (be it English premier league, F1 racing or AFL) and the young party crowd, the Leederville Hotel still finds time to stage mid-week concerts and dance events.
While most other pubs have been busy getting modern refurbishments, this down-to-earth boozer gives interior designers a lesson in 'character'. Yes, the bathrooms can be an 'adventure', and ordering 'top shelf' might seem out of place, but that's not the point, the Leedy is a venue that doesn't need to prove itself.
The resident DJs keep those on the dance floor moving with classic R&B, house and funk. Tuesday nights have seen a shift in pace with the Leedy hosting the Australian Songwriters Association live and original night..
This diamond in the rough works because it gives the people what they want. If you're after a comprehensive cocktail list and a private table, this isn't the place for you. If you want a place where the party is guaranteed and the punters are up for a party, you might have just found yourself a new local.
