Break up the work week
Keen to shake up the monotony of your Monday to Friday? From darts to drama to dancing, here’s our top picks to have your weekdays feeling a bit more like a weekend.
Connies Bingo
Perth drag royalty takes over the stage at Connections Nightclub every Thursday night for Connies Bingo. Doors open at 7, with free games and wild spot prizes kicking off at 7:30. Gather your group, reserve a table online, and bring some nibbles or a feast from GYG next door.
Buck Wild Wednesdays
Dust off your boots and embrace Perth's unashamed love affair with country music at Yee Haw Bar. Every Wednesday night from 7, this high-energy Northbridge honky-tonk throws its rowdiest mid-week party with free entry before 10pm, line dancing, a bucking bull, live country acts and DJs and throwback drink specials.
Darts and drinks
The crew over at Flight Club are bringing darts into the 21st century, with a range of fast and exciting multi-player games built to bring people together and keep you unexpectedly hooked, insatiably entertained and full of joy. They’re open every night of the week and, as an added bonus, if you head down between 5 and 6pm you can grab a happy hour bev for just $11.
Lights, games and mayhem
Keen to do something but not sure what? Leave it up to Archie Brothers, an all-ages playground that’s part arcade, part bar. With escape rooms, karaoke, arcade games and bowling, it’s bound to keep the whole group happy. While they’re open daily, they’ve got special mid-week deals Monday-Wednesday, so you can do more while spending less.
The Gong Show
In this quick-fire Thursday night comedy showdown, comedians each have just three minutes on stage to win the audience over or face the dreaded gong. The audience are armed with paddles to signal your approval or disapproval, and once enough paddles are raised, the Gong Master strikes the gigantic gong on stage, ending the performance and the chance to take home the cash. It’s democracy at its finest, where the only thing that matters is being funny!
$30 theatre tickets
Sorry millennials, this one’s just for Gen Z – if you’re under 30, you can grab tickets to a huge range of Black Swan Theatre Company shows for just $30. The discount’s on offer across both the State Theatre Centre and His Majesty’s Theatre, so keep an eye out on their website for what's got coming up!
