Frequently Asked Questions
What's the best way to experience Rokeby Road if we want an actual adventure, not just dinner?
Start with an escape room in the streets around Rokeby (check out venues near the Subiaco train station), then head to Rokeby for late dinner or drinks. This gives you a genuine story to talk about over cocktails—plus you'll have earned that bottle of wine. The strip stays lively until late, and parking on the surrounding streets is usually available after 7pm, or grab the train straight into the heart of it.
Are there rooftop bars in Subiaco worth the trek?
Absolutely. Several venues along and just off Rokeby Road have elevated spaces with actual views toward the city and Kings Park. Book ahead if you're going Friday or Saturday—Subiaco's dining scene is popular, and rooftop spots fill up. The bonus: they're far less crowded than Northbridge equivalents, so you can actually hear each other and enjoy the sunset without fighting for space.
When should we visit for night markets or events?
Subiaco hosts seasonal night markets (check the Subiaco local events calendar), typically spring and summer. These aren't your standard markets—they're a proper date experience with food vendors, live music, and a relaxed crowd. Arrive early evening, walk through the stalls, then retreat to a Rokeby Road bar once the crowds peak. Street parking around Rokeby and nearby Stibbe Street is your best bet, though the train station is a five-minute walk if you'd rather skip the car.
