The SBA Small Bar of the Year Award 2012

On Tuesday 31 July 2012, the Honourable Terry Waldron, Minister for Sport and Recreation; Racing and Gaming, presented the SBA’s Small Bar of the Year Award to a packed audience at the Piazza in Northbridge.  In addressing the audience before announcing the winner the Minister spoke enthusiastically of the small bar industry and the role of the SBA.  He described how the small bar scene in Perth was blossoming to meet the growing expectations of the Western Australian public.

Rockingham’s R Bar took out the title in a closely contested field.  Congratulations also go to the other finalists Clarences, Frisk Espresso, Hula Bula Bar and The Classroom.  These five outlets collectively have added to the vibrancy of Perth’s rapidly growing small bar scene.
