In collaboration with the State Government, Nokturnl rose to the challenge to revitalise Yagan Square and the CBD. A mammoth, multi-million-dollar project which will see the development of Perth’s largest multi-venue hospitality precinct to date. Stories showcases an array of diverse offerings across five spacious storeys… nine bars, three restaurants, a speakeasy and rooftop bar, private dining space and the city’s biggest beer garden – promising an unforgettable experience! An exciting time for Nokturnl, with the team expected to grow from a little over 300 staff to 600+.

On the lookout for another underutilised location, the old Empire site provided the perfect opportunity. Opening in March 2022, The Beaufort, its modern-Asian restaurant Lotus, and hidden speakeasy Cypher have seen crowds flock back to Beaufort Street.

What a night it was and how proud we are of this team! The Old Synagogue was awarded Best New Venue as well as WA’s Best Venue. A truly humbling experience and also a great boost for the team who had been through so much opening the venue and then coping through COVID.

With OITG in the Domain, Sydney selling out every year, it was decided that a second regional Oktoberfest show would be added to the calendar. Oktoberfest Newcastle was born in 2019 and it proved to be wunderbar. After a three-year hiatus, the event has sold out again in 2022 with The Station, Newcastle turning into a mini Bavaria for the day.

In 2010 Perth focused its end of year celebrations on NYD. However, an idea to bring this forward to NYE kicked off Nokturnl’s first annual event, NYE on the Foreshore. Held on the Matilda Bay foreshore, this event sold out in record time and what a night it was. Future years saw the venue changed and capacity increased to over 4,000. The event continued on, ever popular for many years up until it was decided to retire the event during the pandemic.
