The Lucky Shag Waterfront Bar

We enjoyed lunch and cool drinks here. This was a good place to sit and recover our energy, from walking sightseeing Perth. There’s a breeze from the river that refreshing on a hot day. We planned our day trip around Perth and decided to visit Rottnest Island too. Friendly staff and atmosphere. Clean amenities good location.

I entered the establishment, lost and afraid, in search of a land where I would feel safe and could acquire a perfectly poured beer. Once I stumbled up to the bar I was greeted by a man whose warm smile caused me to immediately feel as though I was welcomed home. This man proceeded to pour me the most exquisite beer I have ever received. As this occurred he asked me, “sir, you seem troubled. Are you okay?”. I knew this man could see through the mask I have worn for so many years. I replied, “no. The last few months since my wife left me have been difficult to say the least”. The bartender, whilst pouring this exceptional beer, proceeded to listen to my story and gave me comfort and advice which I believe has left me better off as a man. I will never forget this man, the man’s name was John and since our interaction I have never been the same.
