Lyric's Bar (Lyric Lane) — Restaurant in Western Australia

Attended this establishment with my brother. For some great conversation with a few drinks and some dinner. Started with a gin and tonic using our local west winds gin, it was a quite enjoyable drink.

Drink number 2 was a Rob Zombie which was a spin on the traditional Tiki Zombie cocktail. Wow great flavours in a tiki mug and it was very refreshing. The rum with the falernum, absinthe and juices. Delicious.

Drink number 3 was a Negroni, again a home rum with this one. Great flavour and well balanced.

We enjoyed the Popcorn chicken to start with, the food was fresh and hot. Great flavour without being over seasoned. Next was the Chicken Liver Parfait, this was rich and smooth smeared on bread. Excellent! Finally we had the Kangaroo Tataki which we enjoyed, it had an great combination of flavours.

Overall a great time. The staff were excellent which I could remember...

Just beware of classic Australian hospitality attitudes. My payment apparently didn't go through at the bar when I ordered, so I was chased up for cash at my table later (awkward). Explaining that this was the establishment's issue and not mine, I was informed I either paid or didn't get the food. So, stubborn as I am, I turned down my nibbles. Later, up at the bar, I tried to mentioned that in almost any other continent of the world this mistake would be carried by the establishment, not by the purchaser. I was met with aggressive speech and body language. I left promptly, with no intention of returning. A warning for future patrons - make sure your payment goes through the EFTPOS machine, or they are like to send the Terminator after you without a please or thank you to be seen....

First ⭐, family run business you can tell in the quality of service, this place tucked down the lane off 8th Ave in Maylands offers you that NY/ Melbourne type atmosphere.

Second ⭐ we were there for the Oyster night hosted by the king of oyster shuckers Gerry Fraser and wine tasting with David Multen.

Third ⭐ the atmosphere was great, it had a real vibe, they also have a jazz bar downstairs, which is just what the area needed.

Fourth ⭐ prices were reasonable with a great wine list, we had the Pate tasting plate, restaurants never give you enough crackers or bread to go with the dip? Why is that 🤔

Fifth ⭐ overall great experience for my first time, met people we didn't know, they asked if we would like to join tables and we did, for a great time, reminded me...
