Wolf Lane is one of Perth's best kept secrets. Come get lost in a small bar. Consider Wolf Lane a curation of collectables from Granny May and her life’s loves and adventures. May has travelled the world over the last 86 years collecting antiques and mementos from all over the globe. Discover her treasures nestled down an alleyway off Murray Street, an antique garage of sorts! In her intoxicating reality, fairytale narrative takes pride and place – think Red Riding Hood and Alice in Wonderland meets Snow White. Dive head first into a fantasy land over a fancy cocktail (or two) and down the rabbit hole we go. Like all good grannies May loves to bake, jam drops & sweet treats are her speciality. You'll find a collection of her favourite cookie tins spanning the walls. Ms May lives her life with more enthusiasm than most half her age - she can’t help but sing, dance and write. Explore her vinyl collection, sheet music and library of weathered books and journals over a quirky bar bite, or share plate with friends. There are lots of cosy corners but leave yourself time to explore every nook and cranny...says granny. Wolf Lane is open Friday and Saturday from 4pm to 1am and is available for private events and functions all other days of the week.
