From the owners of some of Perth's favourite venues, The Old Synagogue and The Beaufort will come a sophisticated new bar and restaurant built into the Heritage Police Station at Finbar's luxury South Perth development, Civic Heart.
Nokturnl co-founder Ross Drennan said he and business partner Drew Flanagan plan to spend $6m to create a sophisticated beer and wine bar with a large alfresco area on a 400sqm block.
The police station, which will retain its two holding cells, will house a bar with some seating.
The basement level, which will be built next to the heritage building, rather than directly beneath it, will house the kitchen, a restaurant and toilets.
“We’re excited, as South Perth residents ourselves, to have an opportunity to create a hidden restaurant underground that promises a dining experience unlike any other in Perth."
The as-yet-unnamed venue will be one of 25 ground-floor food and beverage and retail tenancies in Civic Heart’s vibrant commercial precinct.
Finbar managing director Darren Pateman said Civic Heart would transform the Mends Street precinct through both its luxury apartments and the amenity it provides for local residents.
Both Civic Heart, and Nokturnl’s venue, are due for completion at the end of 2023.
Really interesting project — converting a former police station into a bar and restaurant is a bold move, and it sounds like it will add real character to the area.For bars especially, details behind the scenes matter just as much as design and concept. Beverage quality is a big part of the guest experience, and choosing the right types of ice cubes can make a noticeable difference in cocktails and spirits.
Great news on the Nokturnl project transforming the heritage police station into a vibrant bar and restaurant at Civic Heart a brilliant way to blend history with community life. Also loved hearing about John Cassavetes Family vibes in the story, adding a personal touch to this exciting redevelopment.
Transforming a historic police station into a vibrant bar and restaurant is an exciting project that demands precise management of resources. Implementing tools and equipment tracking can greatly help in overseeing the renovation process, ensuring all materials and equipment are accounted for. This system not only boosts efficiency but also minimizes losses, helping to keep the project on time and within budget while preserving the site's unique character.
It's exciting to see Nokturnl winning the bid to transform the old police station into a trendy bar and restaurant. A great location like that will surely attract a lot of attention, and creating a welcoming environment for customers is key. In a busy setting like this, having the right tools for staff is essential. A server book can really help waitstaff stay organized and manage orders efficiently.
