Perth, we’re getting a new wine bar.
Construction has begun on Gladstones, the latest addition to Crown Perth’s dining and entertainment precinct. Positioned between Crown Towers and Crown Metropol, the 50-seat wine bar will be an intimate and luxurious space, designed for hotel guests, theatre-goers, and locals to enjoy a glass before a show or linger over a bottle with friends.
Honouring WA’s wine legacy
The venue pays homage to Dr John Gladstones AO, the agricultural scientist whose pioneering research in the 1960s identified Margaret River’s similarities to Bordeaux, inspiring local landowners to grow what is now considered one of the world’s best wine regions.
His daughter, Helen Gladstones, said the family was proud to see her father’s influence recognised.
“It’s lovely to see Crown recognising what he did — not loudly and not with fanfare — but with quiet conviction,” she said. “That seed he planted changed the future of wine growing in our state, laying the groundwork for something much bigger than himself. I know he’d be quietly delighted to see how far it’s come.”
Here’s what it will look like
Newly released concept images reveal a warm, sophisticated setting tailored for intimate gatherings. The wine list will feature Western Australia’s award-winning producers alongside internationally acclaimed selections, with the rare opportunity to enjoy premium vintages by the glass.
Crown Perth CEO Brian Pereira said, “Gladstones will offer a truly exceptional experience for our guests, showcasing the best wines Western Australia and the world have to offer — while still being accessible to anyone celebrating a night out or a special occasion at Crown.”
Gladstones follows the announcement of the Urban Food District and forms part of the most significant refresh of Crown Perth’s food, wine, and entertainment offerings in recent years.
