Varnish On King

Tucked in the basement of a heritage building right in the heart of Perth’s CBD,

Varnish on King - paying homage to American Whiskey and home to Perth’s most extensive showcase of bourbons, ryes, Canadian and Tennessee whiskey.

The venue also boasts 100-odd wines on their wine list, a list that is largely instinctive and changes frequently on a whim. Varnish on King doesn’t play by the rules, offering a number of innovative perks for their customers, such as the ‘Bacon & Whiskey flight’ where four different style of Whiskey are paired up to four different style of bacon... yep - it’s a thing!  

Varnish on King also offers innovative food, with a fusion of American classics with an Australian twist. The venue's interior pays its respect to the nouveau dive bars of the States, but throws a sly nod to Perth's own history with sepia-toned images of the neighbourhood’s yesteryear lining the walls.

Varnish recently hosted The Whiskey Club for the launch of Portland distillery Westward Whiskey's new American Single Malt Whiskey in Perth.
