The team behind one of Perth’s most loved Irish pubs, Durty Nelly’s, is bringing the perfect pint of Guinness to the Scarborough beach foreshore, opening the doors of The Galway Hooker this November.

Not to be mistaken for an Irish lady-of-the-night, the seemingly-provocative name actually comes from a type of boat iconic to the town’s Galway Bay for “hook and line” fishing.

“We get a few giggles when we say the name, The Galway Hooker,” ARK group bar manager James Connolly told Australian Bartender.

“Believe it or not, it’s not an Irish knocking shop but actually a type of fishing boat famous from that part of the world.”

The exciting new venue will have a capacity of 300 people and will be the ARK Group’s third venture to reside on the famous foreshore, with Scarborough Beach Bar and The Peach Pit already calling the beachside suburb home.

“Scarborough is buzzing, this venue will add even more vibrancy to the area,” Lee Behan, ARK group operations manager and Dublin native said.

“Irish pubs are known for their hospitality and great atmosphere and we’ll be taking this to the next level with an impressive range of quality food and drinks.”

Built, disassembled and transported from Ireland, the bar will be stocked with Australia’s largest Irish whiskey selections- with more than 70 available - as well as a Guinness only cool room and a team dedicated to pouring the ‘perfect pint’.

As the first of its kind to overlook the Indian Ocean, venue manager Paul Moloney said the team paid special attention to detail to create an authentic Irish pub experience on the esplanade.

“We’ve gone to great lengths to feature the iconic trademarks of an Irish Pub.

“The venue will play host to cosy nooks, snugs, a live stage for the bands and an elevated alfresco area... at the heart of the venue is an actual Galway Hooker boat.”

The Galway Hooker is expected to open it’s doors by the end of November this year.
