One of Perth's most beloved pubs is set to double its footprint, bringing its signature craic to a new suburb. Molly's Irish Pub, the cherished watering hole on Beaufort Street in Highgate, has announced it will open a second establishment in Victoria Park.
From Highgate Success to Southern Suburbs Expansion
The bustling pub has become a fixture in Highgate over the past two years, renowned for its perfectly poured Guinness and famous spice bags. Building on this success, the owners have now secured a spot in the popular dining strip of Victoria Park's Albany Highway.
The big reveal came via an Instagram announcement on Saturday, directly from the pub's account. "After two brilliant years in Highgate, we're excited to share some big news," the post began, before confirming the much-anticipated expansion.
Same Heart, New Home
The new Victoria Park location is scheduled to open its doors in February 2026. Management has promised that the southern suburbs venue will deliver the same quality food, drinks, and service that patrons have come to love at the flagship site.
"Same heart, same hospitality, same perfectly poured pints," the social media post assured followers. The announcement was accompanied by a series of behind-the-scenes photos showing the construction progress at the new site.

The news was met with immediate enthusiasm from locals and loyal customers. The comments section of the Instagram post quickly filled with excited reactions.
"How very exciting," wrote one follower, while another exclaimed, "Yessssss! Can't wait!??" Reflecting the buzz within the local business community, fellow Perth enterprise The Poster Girls commented, "Oooh as a local resident this is very exciting!"
The expansion marks a significant milestone for Molly's Irish Pub, proving the strong demand for its authentic Irish pub atmosphere and popular menu in the Perth market. The move into Victoria Park places it firmly in one of the city's most competitive hospitality precincts, promising to bring a fresh option to Albany Highway's vibrant scene.
