Raffles Hotel and Bottleshop

Since the revamp of Raffles it has improved immensely. Really liking the tap choices available now. The new set-up is decent too. Some really good choices including Colonial (and specialties), Epic, heaps of canned craft, Eagle Bay .etc. Would happily travel here for a few drinks

Stuck my head in while visiting the bottlo next door. They advertise Colonial Brewery (from Margaret River) growlers, $40 for 2L with $20 refills. Barman hooked me up with 4 tasters, all were nice examples of German beer (Krolsch, Alt, Wheat and one more I had never seen before). They also had a few James Squire and some European draughts. Popular place with locals for the riverside location. Food looked good too. The high-end bottleshop next to the hotel has a quite a few interesting craft beers at standard Perth prices. Knowledgable staff are good at helping you out be it beer, wine or spirits.
