Perth's vibrant social scene has just been elevated with the grand opening of a sophisticated new wine bar at Crown Perth, offering connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike a premier destination to sample the state's best drops.
A Vineyard Experience in the Heart of the City
The luxe Gladstones venue officially opened its doors on Wednesday, 14 January 2026, bringing a slice of vineyard elegance directly to Perth's premier entertainment precinct. Strategically positioned between Crown Towers and Crown Metropol, the bar is designed as an ideal pitstop before a theatre show or as a refined setting for extended celebrations during work events and special occasions.
Inside, the atmosphere is carefully crafted for comfort and sophistication. Warm, subdued lighting complements refined wooden furnishings, creating a cosy and intimate environment perfect for settling in with a fine glass of wine.
A Tribute to a WA Wine Pioneer
The bar's name pays homage to a pivotal figure in Western Australia's viticultural history: Dr John Gladstones. It was his groundbreaking research as an agricultural scientist that first identified the Margaret River region's potential to produce world-class wines, laying the foundation for the industry's stellar reputation.
Staying true to this legacy, Gladstones the bar will pour an exclusively curated selection of the finest wines Western Australia has to offer. Patrons will have the flexibility to explore these premium labels by the glass, making it easier to taste and discover new favourites.
The First of Crown's New Wave of Venues
This opening marks a significant first step in Crown Perth's latest development phase. Gladstones is the inaugural hotspot to launch ahead of the broader Urban Food District, which is slated to open in February 2026 and will host an array of exciting new dining and entertainment venues.
For Perth's wine enthusiasts, the arrival of Gladstones provides a dedicated, upscale space to indulge in the very best local produce. It seamlessly blends the relaxed appeal of a regional cellar door with the convenience and glamour of a top-tier city resort.
