Part live-music haunt, part microbrewery, part food-truck and beer-garden hang-out, Freo.Social is difficult to pigeonhole. Open since March 2019, the evolving venue with capacity for 550 people fills a historic space in central Fremantle. It favours big-name local talent, from San Cisco to John Butler and the Waifs, but also leans towards the experimental and has DJ sets.

There's also a playground for children and coworking spaces. An experimental beer will be released once a week.
