A spicy, free live music-packed edition of the Friday newsletter today ahead of what’s looking like a spicy weekend — with, we’re sure, plenty of you eyeing off a cheeky nip down the beach (if you haven’t already this week).
First up is something we kinda wanted to keep all to ourselves for fear of it booking out before we can even get in there, which is the return of Magnolia BBQ — this time in one of our fave Northbridge spots.
Get the deets below, along with a couple of tips for the weekend, free music for your knock-off drinks tonight, and a wrap-up of Perth’s best outdoor cinemas now that they’re all opening back up!
Troy Mutton, Editor-In-Chief, Perth is OK!

Cult Malay BBQ pop-up bringing charcoal to Chinatown this summer
One of Perth’s most sought-after pop-ups has found a new home for summer, with Magnolia BBQ taking over the kitchen at Northbridge listening bar Astral Weeks for a three-month residency.
Talk about these being a few of our favourite things!
Helmed by chef Jacob D’Vauz, who first made waves with his Special Delivery pop-up at Doubleview Bowling Club, the Magnolia BBQ sequel was even more popular during its limited run in East Vic Park.
And now he’s taking the charcoal-fired cooking and inventive takes on Southeast Asian cuisine deep the heart of Chinatown, taking over the former Ah Um space from last night until January 30 next year.
