Nestled in the heart of historic Guildford, The Stirling Arms Hotel holds a special place in Western Australia’s heritage.

Established around 1852, it proudly stands as the state's oldest continuously operating hotel. With its classic two-storey, rendered brick and iron architecture, it has long been a cherished landmark on James Street.

Nowadays, you can come and relax in the cosy Lounge Bar, enjoy al fresco dining in the Beer Garden or attend an event in the large Band Room — there's live music or sports commentary every weekend.

Families will love Percy's Playground, a safe and fun nature-inspired play space designed just for kids. Separate from the pub dining areas, Percy’s Playground features a gated, secure environment where little ones can explore, climb, and play freely. There's a dedicated toddler zone for age-appropriate adventures and family-friendly bathrooms with baby change facilities.

Feel like a feed? The pub is open seven days a week for lunch and dinner, and has daily specials during the week (excluding public holidays).

While you're there you can stop in at the bottle shop, open daily and offering a range of locally-sourced beers and wine.

Please note

  • Kitchen open 11am to 8pm daily (to 9pm on Friday and Saturday)
  • Pizza kitchen open Thursday to Sunday
  • Open 11am until late every public holiday | Closed Good Friday
  • Open on Christmas Day to pre-booked lunch patrons only | Enquiries to events@thestirlingarms.com.au
  • Acoustic performers Saturday 5 - 8pm, Sunday 1.30 - 4.30pm
