If you’re looking for somewhere the whole family can enjoy, Running With Thieves Henderson is well worth adding to your list. This spacious brewery and restaurant offers a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere for families, friends and groups catching up over lunch or dinner.
There’s plenty of free parking, and the venue itself is incredibly spacious, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Whether you’re visiting as a couple, catching up with grandparents or bringing the whole family along—including the fur baby—there’s plenty of room to settle in and relax.
One of the biggest highlights is the outdoor playground. Positioned close to the beer garden, it gives younger children plenty of space to climb, slide and play while parents can relax nearby and enjoy a meal. It’s thoughtfully located so you can easily keep an eye on the kids without leaving your table, making it easy to settle in for a long lunch or dinner.
Inside, older children (and even a few adults!) will enjoy the arcade games, which are a fun addition while waiting for meals or after everyone has finished eating. It’s a simple touch that helps keep the whole family entertained.
The menu has something for just about everyone. You’ll find woodfired pizzas, gourmet burgers, steaks, seafood, fresh salads and share plates alongside classic pub favourites – I highly recommend the garlic prawn chilli pizza; the rest of the family enjoyed the burgers, with Ruby inhaling her vege burger in about 3 bites!! There are also kids’ meals available, making it easy for families to find something everyone will enjoy. Portions are generous, with a great balance of comfort food and lighter options.
Like its Fremantle location, Running With Thieves Henderson serves the full range of Running With Thieves craft brews, along with wines, cocktails, spirits, soft drinks and coffee. Even if you’re not stopping for a meal, the drive-through coffee window is open in the mornings, making it the perfect stop if you’re passing through Henderson and need your caffeine fix.
The outdoor beer garden is spacious, relaxed and filled with plenty of seating, making it an ideal place for families to enjoy the sunshine during the day or take in the beautiful sunsets over the water in the evening. During the cooler months, the outdoor fire pits create a cosy atmosphere that’s perfect for a relaxed dinner.
If your dog is part of the family, you’ll be pleased to know they’re welcome in the outdoor dining areas too. It’s always great to find another venue where everyone can come along, and the generous outdoor space means there’s plenty of room for both two-legged and four-legged visitors.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff are friendly, and despite its popularity, there’s enough space for everyone to enjoy themselves without feeling crowded.
The upstairs level is reserved for private functions and meeting rooms, while the restaurant, beer garden and family-friendly spaces are all located on the ground floor.
If you’re planning a visit, it’s worth booking ahead on weekends, as the venue has quickly become a favourite with locals. It’s also a good idea to check Running With Thieves’ social media before you head out, as they regularly post their weekly specials, upcoming events and seasonal activities.
Whether you’re meeting friends for lunch, celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for somewhere new to enjoy a relaxed family meal, Running With Thieves Henderson is a fantastic addition to Perth’s dining scene. With delicious food, plenty of space, a playground for the kids, arcade games, quality coffee and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s easy to see why it’s already becoming a favourite for families south of the river.
