BERTIE

The short version. BERTIE is a British-accented neighbourhood wine bar on Old Perth Road in Bassendean, small and contemporary, with a curated by-the-glass wine list. It is a dog-friendly venue, with the dogs kept to the front alfresco tables.

Where the dogs go. Dogs are welcome in the alfresco area at the front, which is footpath seating on Old Perth Road. Pets are kept to the outdoor tables rather than inside, so this is an outdoor-only visit. Water bowls are usually available on request, so ask when you order.

Good to know. The wine list is the drawcard, broad and well chosen by the glass, backed by a menu that runs to scotch eggs, Coffin Bay oysters and mushroom parfait. The room has a warm, intimate feel, which is worth knowing if you have a bigger or more boisterous dog, as the front tables sit close together.

Getting there. Address is 77 Old Perth Rd, a short walk from Bassendean train station. Free street parking runs along Old Perth Road, though it tightens on busy evenings and market days.

Nearby with the dog. Old Perth Road hosts regular markets that make for a lively on-lead wander, and the Swan River foreshore is a few minutes away for a scenic riverside walk.

Weekend afternoons carry the best atmosphere; evenings get busy and the tight front tables fill, so aim earlier if you want elbow room for the dog.
