If you are after more or bar feel than a pub feel, then Elba is the place for you. Elba is highly recommended, especially for the food, the long wine list and atmosphere. The staff members are friendly and knowledgeable when it comes to the drinks menu. One thing to note is that there are no ocean views. Opening hours are; Monday-Thursday 3pm – late and Friday – Sunday 12 – late. We suggest picking a bottle of wine and a share plate for a great night.
Another place that guests should visit during their stay in Cottesloe is the Cottesloe Beach Hotel. This venue reflects much of what Cottesloe is about. It has a happy atmosphere, fresh local food and looks over the Indiana Tea House and the beach. The Beach Club and the Cott & Co. Fish Bar both have an air of sophistication and style. The Verandah Bar is more relaxed and suitable for those who want to enjoy the view, come from the beach and prefer more of a pub vibe. There is plenty to pick from on both the drinks and food list so you won’t have to worry about going hungry.
