One of Perth’s most popular elevated bars has announced its permanent closure after severe weather caused damage to the venue earlier this year. Folly Rooftop Bar, located on level 18 of Quest East Perth, has been a favourite spot for city dwellers seeking cocktails, bar bites, and panoramic skyline views.
The venue shared the sad news with guests, stating that it would no longer welcome patrons after Wednesday, April 29, 2026. “After five years above the Perth skyline, Folly Rooftop Bar will close its doors on 29th of April 2026,” the bar posted on social media.
“This wasn’t a decision made lightly. A storm earlier this year caused significant damage to the venue, making it impractical to trade through winter. Following careful consideration, the decision has been made to close permanently.”
The rooftop bar was known for hosting acclaimed chefs, group celebrations, and themed food and drink nights, with its 360-degree city views attracting a loyal following. “To everyone who spent time with us up here, thank you. Folly was built on those moments, and we’re grateful for every one of them,” the venue added.
Just a few months ago, in early January, Folly had been actively recruiting “experienced, reliable, and energetic bar staff” as it looked to expand its team. The sudden closure has left many fans disappointed. “The best views, great place,” one person commented. “Oh no! Such sad news,” another wrote.
The venue advised guests to contact Quest East Perth directly for any upcoming bookings or enquiries. PerthNow has reached out to Folly Rooftop Bar and Quest East Perth for further comment.
