Joe’s Juice Joint is one of Perth’s hidden treasures - but it won’t be hidden for long.

The Northbridge laneway favourite has today been named the best dive bar in the world by global travel site Big 7 Travel.

Taking into account reader votes, expert opinions, reviews and media coverage, the publisher rated the top 50 dive bars in the world, with Joe’s beating iconic bars from the USA, Hong Kong, Poland and beyond.

“Make your way down a graffiti-covered laneway to this underground dive bar. This spot gives you everything you want from an underground dive bar – fried chicken, free peanuts, pinball and a great selection of beers and bourbon,” they wrote.

“A local treasure, you won’t go too wrong with a night out here. Plus, the classic rock playlist will keep you there into the early hours of the morning.”

Opened at the end of 2014, Joe’s Juice Joint was supposed to be a pop-up, but its popularity saw it become a staple of the inner city nightlife scene.

“It’s using the license in a different way that wasn’t your traditional nightclub,” owner Clint Nolan told STM last year.

“The public was becoming a bit more discerning and didn’t want to go somewhere and pay a cover charge to drink good booze. We get really busy when the small bars close. It gives people another option ... to keep the night rolling.”
