There have been a few changes to the bar menu at Rockpool Bar and Grill in Perth in recent times. There is an impressive new line up of cocktails (along with all the old classics and Rockpool signature drinks – don’t worry they haven’t gone anywhere) as well as some particularly tasty new bar snacks.
