POP-up bar operators Embargo are dropping anchor in East Perth, replacing the failed Ku De Ta restaurant.

Plans are under way for the previously temporary venue to become a long-term fixture at the riverside precinct.

The Point Bar and Grill owner Neil Irvine is leasing the space to Embargo’s owners.

Mr Irvine, who yesterday took sole ownership of the On the Point complex after being in partnership with Ku De Ta shareholder Stephen Palmer, welcomed the news.

“It’s great for us because they (Embargo) have got a great following and it will give the place a real boost,” he said.

Mr Irvine said he also planned to meet with a Melbourne seafood operator about another potential venue in the complex.

Ben Maher and Jesse Wilson, who co-own Embargo, said they would occupy the space for at least the next few months.

“We are here an opportune time because of the difficulties with the pop-up liquor licences so we are coming into this space for the summer,” said Jesse.

“Embargo has always been riverside, we’ve been at South Perth foreshore, Victoria Park foreshore and Elizabeth Quay and now we are actually over the river at the On the Point complex.”

Embargo on the Point is planning to open in mid-November and will feature a large beer garden, licensed jetty and children’s play area.

Pop-up food vendors including Josh Catalano’s Fish Boss, Pizza Lounge, Varsity Burgers and other food operators will be part of Embargo’s space.
