There is a certain sound you only hear in a proper local: the distinct hiss and surge of a Guinness being poured. At Claisey, we don’t do rushed or flashy. We focus on the consistent experience that keeps our community coming back for more. That is why locals know us for Guinness above anywhere else in East Perth.
What is the Proper Way to Pour Guinness
A good pour of Guinness is never a rushed job. It is a two-part pour that starts with a clean, cool glass held at a 45-degree angle. We fill it until the surge is about three-quarters of the way up, then we let it rest. This is where the magic happens: the nitrogen bubbles cascade down the side of the glass until the beer settles into a deep, solid black.
The Perfect Pour Time for Guinness
If you are wondering what the perfect pour time for Guinness is, the legendary answer is 119.5 seconds. At Claisey, we respect that patience. We are not a corporate chain trying to move customers through as quickly as possible. We are a social, conversational spot where the wait for a pint is part of the ritual.
Why Claisey is the Best Pub in East Perth for a Pint
We’ve built our reputation on doing the basics better than anyone else.
We have built our reputation on doing the basics better than anyone else.
- The Atmosphere: Enjoy your pint with a view of Claisebrook Cove, away from the “try-hard” vibes of the city.
- The Food: A proper Guinness needs a proper feed. Our haggis spring rolls with whisky sauce or the legendary Claisey burger are built for this.
- The Community: You will be surrounded by regulars and staff who actually know their beer.
Why the Cove Beats the City Every Time
There is something about drinking a Guinness at Claisebrook Cove that no city bar can replicate. The water stays glass-calm. The wind does not whip through as it does at the beach. And when the sun starts to dip, the stadium lights flicker on across the water. It is not a view you pose for. It is a view you stay for. That is why locals choose the Cove over the corporate rush every single time.
Pre-game at the bar near Optus Stadium
If you are heading to the match, do not settle for a plastic cup inside the gates. We are the go-to bar near Optus Stadium for fans who want a real glass and a real pour. Take the ten-minute stroll over the bridge and start your game day the right way.
Pre-game drinks sorted? That is the secret. Not a trick. Just time, care, and a waterfront view.
Come down tonight or join us this weekend. See you at Claisey.
