Located next to Canning Bridge, The Rowing Pavilion on The Esplanade brings great food and drinks along with riverside views to Perth diners. Nestled in the three-storey pavilion that is home to rowing clubs, The Pav as it is affectionately known boasts stunning vistas from the alfresco area, while indoors is light, bright and breezy with floor-to-ceiling windows providing not only water views but also an abundance of natural light.
Mixologists Aidan Spencer and Shane Pietersen recommend sipping a Starboard Sour cocktail next time you visit:
Made with plum gin, rose aperitivo, plum syrup, lemon and aquafaba, this is a delicious airy quencher of a cocktail.
The use of native Australian plum pairs perfectly with subtly sweet gin to create a refreshing and flavourful classic.
The Starboard Sour uses native Davidson plums which are known to be one of the oldest Australian fruiit and have been consumed for thousands of years!
"As we are located above a functioning rowing shed, we took inspiration from some rowing terms. Starboard means the right side of the boat!’ the cheeky pair explain.
Try this cocktail on a Friday afternoon to relax after a long and stressful work week. Alternatively, you could take the party home and concoct the perfect drink to usher in the weekend.
