Bar Back
Perth
THE VENUE
Before Byron Bay became a dining destination, there was Light Years. Tucked in an intimate space in the centre of town, the modern Asian restaurant became a fast favourite for its playful approach to hospitality, a modern Asian dining experience that offers delicious share-style food, unique cocktails, and friendly wait staff.
Since it first opened back in 2017, the stalwart of the beach town’s dining scene has become something of a phenomenon, spawning outposts in Noosa, Burleigh Heads and Newcastle. And in late 2022, Light Years Byron Bay packed up and opened its second iteration in a brand new, larger space – an evolved, grown-up version.
Fast forward to 2025, and it’s time for Light Years to spread its flavour powered wings to Western Australia. A prime Perth CBD location, situated within a stylish iconic heritage building on William Street, Light Years Perth will be the biggest (boldest) venture yet. This two-hundred-seater venue will showcase laneway dining, private dining and a stunning centralised bar for a good dose of good-time vibes!
We are ready for YOU to join this exciting opening and embrace a collaborative, fun environment and excellent team culture.
