Tiger Lil’s

Well, if you want a club that’s packed wall to wall with under-21’s and where it takes about 20 minutes to get a drink, this is your spot.
I think this is best left to the right crowd, seems like it could be a decent spot with a bit better service.

SO crowded but it didn’t take too long for us to get drinks. I would definitely recommend this place only if you’ve already had plenty to drink. I had a great time but I was beyond drunk!

Come here if you want to spend half an hour fighting your way to the bar and then another half an hour waiting for the bar staff to make their way to you.

We organised a girls night one Friday night at Tiger Lil’s and prebooked a table.
It was a great night, we ordered a meal and sat at our table drinking bottles of champagne. The food is okay with decent servings, the menu has an Asian theme. Music is good, a mix of everything.
On a Friday night Tiger Lil’s is happening with mostly a ‘workers crowd’ from all over the CBD area ending their working week over a few beers and wines. (Somewhat of a tradition in Perth)
I highly recommend booking a table on a Friday night and you can stay all night, they section off the table area from the standing bar crowd which is handy. It is table service so if you order at the bar, they will deliver the drinks to your table.

It’s a bar — it seems to have gone from the afterwork place to go, to the young place to be seen (by the set that are always behind where they should be seen at).
Prices — average, not as expensive as some of the St Georges Tce hangouts. Service, the bar staff generally friendly but some suffer from the look at me I work at a fancy bar in the city.
Poorly laid out — hard to move from the sections out the back to get a drink.

I really truly cant think of any reason I would traipse along to Tiger Lil’s these days.
A few years ago it used to have a better reputation and there were a number of birthday parties or after work gatherings that would start out at the Asian themed bar.
If someone asks me there now I contemplate deleting their number and truly question their friendship.
The bar is long and terribly laid out, there is no dance floor to speak of, the drinks are overpriced and underwhelming, the bouncers are douchier than the average and I’ve never had the food but based on everything else I have my doubts.
With all the options around Murray street, whether you’re looking for food, a few cheeky brews or a hearty dance floor, there are so so many better options.

Tiger LOL’s stinks to the highest of heavens. Every time I’ve been here a fight has broken out. And it isn’t as if it is saturated with tween testosterone either, there are a lot of old animals who frequent this wild and savage watering hole before locking horns in a territorial battle.
The actual venue itself is quite large and a lot of people do show up but this is not the place I want to be on Saturday night, nor Sun, Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs or Fri. Perhaps I’ve been unlucky the four times I’ve been here… but it isn’t worth the risk, four strikes is enough!
Go somewhere else yo.

The best thing about Tiger Lil’s is the décor; they’ve gone all out on their Asian theme, with every inch of ceiling given over to Chinese lanterns and colourful paper umbrellas. It’s all very pretty and enchanting, but if you’re there at the weekend chances are you won’t get much chance to enjoy it because there won’t be any room for you inside. This was the case on the Friday night I went; the bar was packed with sweaty men who I had to squeeze through to get to the toilets, unfortunately incurring the odd grope along the way. Eww. That’s another thing — perhaps it was just that one night, but there seemed to be a major case of sausage-​fest going on. Where were all the girls? Why is this bar frequented by slightly creepy men who use incomprehensible chat-​up lines like, ‘What’s the name of that bridge?’ (Someone said this to me. I had no idea what bridge he was talking about). Still, I suppose that’s not Tiger Lil’s’ fault. We had a pleasant evening sitting outside, and despite how full the place was it never took long to get served at the bar. I haven’t tried the food here, but I was near some people who did, and it smelled and looked delicious. I could be tempted to go back and try it — perhaps not on a Friday night though. I don’t fancy sausage with my meal.

Bigger than the average bar — seems to go on forever and right at the back are private booths for groups. The décor is unique and gives you plenty to look at and having numerous bars means you don’t have to queue up for too long.
When and if you order food you have to wear your number on a conical straw hat — as though you are working in an Asian rice field! Whoever is delegated to wearing the hat becomes the butt of all the jokes, but when the food arrives and that hat-​wearing person is approached, they become the lucky one who gets first taste of the delicious food at Tiger Lil’s!
All that said and done, I don’t feel compelled to go back any time soon — not my venue of choice and think there are far better places to go in Perth for a night out.

A place where Asian street culture and pub ethos meet, this is Tiger Lils. Highly raucous, slightly seedy and jovially drunken it’s more Thai disco than Tokyo lounge. The décor itself is fantastic; decked out in bamboo, Balinese wood carvings, fans and Japanese parasols, it’s kitschy Asian decadence at it’s best. Take a break from sipping your ‘Baby San’ cocktail and tilt your heard back to take in the constellation of pretty red lights above.
There’s a list of Asian inspired drinks and eats to match the theme, both of which are satisfactory. Tiger Lil’s is a venue with character and popular for small functions by means of its sectioned off Asian boudoir style rooms and easy finger foods.
The setting is more cultured than the crowds however, and I wouldn’t pick it as a place to meet new faces, but head here with friends for a fiery night out. I’m not sure if it’s the red lighting or the themed décor, but a night at Tiger Lils is usually one where all caution is abandoned.

Tiger Lil’s reminds me of those over-​themed restaurant-​come-​bars in Melbourne (or is bar-​come-​restaurants?). Kudos to the interior decorators for keeping with a theme but I’m not too sure how long Asian fusion in décor is going to be in vogue. As for the Asian fusion on the menu, that ought to stay in favour for quite some time, and Tiger Lil’s goes all out on variety. The all-​day menu includes a Crab Rangoon with Mango Salsa, Spiced Chickpea Croquettes with Lime Yoghurt, Asahi-​battered Fish & Chips (that’s a posh Japanese beer, donchaknow), and a Vegetable Curry with Tofu and Egg.
Go for the banquet with friends, and you’ll feel like you’ve tried a little Singaporean, Moroccan, Japanese and Malaysian in four small bites. Which brings me to the portion factor. Though the prices on Tiger Lil’s menu are fair compared to similar fare, I wish they’d put a little more substantial portions on my plate, rice aside.

Ewwwww. This place makes me feel queasy and completely out of my comfort zone. The floor is sticky and the décor is so try-​hard I want to rip down every last Chinese Lantern until all the forced atmosphere is gone. It’s the kind of place where you get drinks spilt on you and men stand at the entrance and just stare. When I came here I actually wanted to stop drinking — and then go home and wash myself for a really long time. It’s big, it’s offensive, it’s no good.

Hands down one of the best bars in Perth on a Saturday night. There’s a great crowd in here — just as many Australians as there is Irish and English (but it’s the Irish who bought their clothes in Topman, not from their local GAA club!).
The door staff are quite strict — they meticulously check IDs and really study the picture and your face before they let you in, and look in your eyes to make sure you’re not too drunk. They also seem to have a dedicated bouncer who walks along the queue checking men’s shoes, so make sure you’re looking smart if you want to get in here fellas.
As the logo would suggest the décor inside is asian inspired — a lot of mahogany buddhas and red lantern lights, and there is a fabulous outdoor smoking garden in the middle of the bar. The DJ in here on Saturdays is superb — every song he plays will have you shouting ‘I love this song’ or ‘Oh my god, remember this one?’, as he bangs out some hip hop, pop and RnB classics from the past 10 – 15 years.
