Now open: New Orleans-inspired bar Big Easy

Plus Little Creatures' $10mil upgrade, a new Esperance stay and more.

May 13, 2025

Not that we needed another excuse to slink on down to South Freo, it’s gone and added another great little bar to the mix - Big Easy! From some of the brains behind Jungle Bird and Honky Tonk, it’s not just in safe hands, but friendly ones too: “Our whole idea is that instead of competing with the other small businesses around us, we are really trying to support them, and really create a community.”

Get the skinny below, along with meeting the duo behind popular Perth accessory brand Mountain & Moon, the couple being a soon-to-be-listed Esperance stay, and a Fast & Furious quiz night…because why the flippin’ Ferrari not?
