Duke of George

Top choice in Fremantle


Newly opened in the historic Brush Factory, this is a fun, lively, hugely approachable jazz bar where dancing between the tables (there's no designated dance floor) is encouraged. Saturday’s dinner and show is highly recommended (excellent value too), but you can keep things simple with the à la carte menu of dishes inspired by America’s deep south.
