Boasting a gorgeous sky-high terrace in the middle of Perth's CBD, The Standard is an unviable plot for sunny sips.

Undeniably one of the best bars in Northbridge, this bright and airy haunt has the city flocking to its verdant outdoor escape throughout the week. But if the weather takes a turn? They've got you covered (literally), as the restaurant inside is just as gorgeous, adorned with quirky light hangings and stylish seating.

But the focal point of this lush haven has to be the menu. Expect an Australian stamp on East Asian grub, with unique dishes such as mapo kangaroo, which comes with whipped sesame silken tofu and puffed rice crackers. And let us tell you about the cocktails - from the fruity mango tango to the fragrant lady in white, you won't be going thirsty here.
