ABOUT US

Born in the 1920s to fight the evils of alcohol, born again to celebrate it.

The building.

Designed by architect Edwin Summerhayes and built in 1920, the hall was home to the Independent Order of the Rechabite’s Perth outpost for decades before passing through a series of lives – a Commonwealth Bank branch, artist studios, a photographers’ shop, a bike shop, a barber, a gallery, an independent theatre, and a 90s squat that birthed Western Australia’s biggest cult grunge band, Beavarloop.

Occupy the ruins.

Built in the 1920s by the Independent Order of Rechabites – a global temperance movement dedicated to fighting the evils of alcohol. Restored in 2019 by people with different ideas. A century of mishaps in between.

Badminton championships, cat parades, artist studios, a 90s grunge squat. Each layer kept intact. The stains earned their place. Today The Rechabite is home to four floors of food, drink, music, and mischief – wrapped around one of Perth’s most iconic live performance spaces.
