LOVERS LANE
This is not dinner-and-a-movie energy. This is “one drink turns into three, we accidentally hold hands, and suddenly it’s midnight” energy. Lovers Lane is your perfectly plotted Fringe date night - the slow-burn kind.
Start with drinks somewhere intimate enough to flirt. Eat somewhere you can share plates and opinions. Catch a show that makes you laugh, blush, or question your life choices. Then finish with something playful, unexpected, or just a little bit naughty.

Everything here lives within Perth’s walkable Fringe zone, so you can roam the city together without clocks, Ubers, or awkward “so… what next?” moments. Whether it’s a first date, third date, or “we’ve been together forever but still like each other,” this guide does the heavy lifting.
DRINKS
This is where the vibe gets set. Low lights. Good music.
Drinks that give you confidence but don’t steal the spotlight 🍸

EATS
Dinner should stretch a little. These spots encourage staying for one more glass, stealing bites from each other’s plates without making it awkward, and almost forgetting you booked a show to go to (don’t worry - they’re all close).
IT’S SHOWTIME
These shows are fun, flirty, and give you plenty to debrief about afterwards – don’t worry, we’ve got this.
