PERTH | Velvet Lounge was home to a lot of memories from uni days, but people get older and change, and Velvet Lounge was very much a relic of the past. Enter Caboose, which is the reincarnation of the space behind the Flying Scotsman. Unlike the bar at the front, Caboose opened in December last year with a focus on craft beer, and features 12 rotating taps of the good stuff, including a hand-pump, with a focus on what’s fresh, local and interesting. Local breweries like Feral, Gage Roads, Mash, and Nail are well represented, as well as breweries from the rest of the country like Pirate Life, Mountain Goat and 4 Pines, and the occasional overseas brewery.
The bottle list is well worth considering too, with around 20 bottles of interesting, often rare stuff, available at any time. In a move we don’t see often enough at craft beer venues, wine drinkers aren’t forgotten about, with a small selection of quality local and international wines being offered, including some single release wines you don’t usually see at bars, let alone a craft beer bar. Some craft beer places like to shun anyone who isn’t a beer drinker, but it’s not unreasonable to expect that in a group of friends, there may be one or two people who don’t like beer. Offering a few decent wines makes a venue like Caboose a viable option on many more occasions.
Food wise it’s all about simple food that goes well with beer – jalapeno poppers, fried chicken, burgers, chips, and toasted sandwiches.
Caboose have a lot of tap takeovers and special events throughout the year, so make sure you keep an eye on their social media pages to get a heads up as to what’s happening in a given week. If this wasn’t enough to get you paying a visit, Caboose’s license also allows for growler refills, which means that you can take anything that’s on tap home with you.
