The Cape Lounge is hard to miss. It sits on the corner of Johnston and Brunswick opposite from the 7-11. A giant poster of their name is on the Johnston side. And the Cape Lounge is a BIG building. Which is a good thing come Friday and Saturday nights. With live music Wednesday and Sunday, a quiz night on Sundays and tasty meal deals, this bar welcomes a lot of people through the doors.Upstairs plays host to local bands banging out any range of musical talents. The times I've been there the music has been on the harder/louder side, but I believe they do have a range of live acts play.
Downstairs is where the Sunday night pub quiz is held (although it takes a break during winter for a few weeks). Fix yourself up with a cheap but delicious Cape pizza for only $10 and grab yourself a beer on tap. Quiz nights are always good for a laugh...and you might even win some free stuff (including free drink).
Their menu includes pizzas (regularly $13 to $17 dollars) and a range of chef's specials to pub grub (anything fried, price range $6 to $8) to the seafood rice paella (around $18 to $22, to be shared).
There are comfortable couches spread through both levels and tables ranging in size. They are able to accommodate large group parties. There is an ATM inside the pub and they have credit/eftpos facilities behind the bar.
