I remember the John Barleycorn Hotel in Nollamara for one. It had that art-decor design. Interesting place.

The Karrinyup Tavern got demolished years ago.

Where abouts was the John Barleycorn located in Nollamara mate?

It was right inbetween the little shopping area and Des Penman Reserve. I'll see if I can find a picture of it. Funny looking joint is was.

Nah not even a photo remains.

The Newmarket down South Freo way was left derelict the last time I drove past a couple of years ago is another!
Steves in Nedlands was turned into flash apartments & a bottle shop as well from memory.

My favourite, the Nookenburra (or the Nookie as we knew it) in Innaloo.

I even remember the Wentworth in William St and the legendary Criterion on Hay St with its cellar bar. You only entered there at your own risk.

The Bullcreek has just been demolished looks like a Dan Murphy going there.

Not the Criterion cellar bar as well.

I only visited there about a year or so ago.

DG, is that kinda interesting looking one in Willagee/O'Connor (Not so good on Southern suburbs) still up and about?

Not wrong there BH! Used to love the Nookie as a kid. For a long time it had an Aboriginal statue on top of it and it was the icon of the suburb. Was always wall to wall blue singlets and the lounge bar out the back used to serve up man food like lamb chops with salad seven nights a week.

And now you have to line up to get your driver's licence scanned at the door before they let you in that poor excuse for a pub ..if they did that in the old Nookie days no one would have been let in the joint!!
