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 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.
