Jaspers Bar& Restaurant

Tucked into the centre of Pemberton on Brockman Street, this small whisky bar and restaurant pairs a seasonal kitchen with an unusually deep drinks list. Dinner runs Tuesday to Saturday from 5pm, so an evening meal here is easy to plan around a day in the karri forest. The food leans modern and produce-led, plated for a relaxed sit-down rather than a rush, while the bar carries whisky, bourbon, wine, craft beer and cocktails alongside alcohol-free options. It is an independent, locally run venue rather than a chain dining room, and the intimate space rewards those who like to linger over a dram after eating. Lunch is offered Friday and Saturday, but the evening is when the place is really at home. A handful of studio cabins on site round out a genuinely small-town operation with real character.
