Our Story
Good food, good people and one pretty special spot on the river. Welcome to The Rowing Pavilion – or The Pav, as we like to call it. The Pav was created by three hospitality people who genuinely love what they do. Nick and Ev, and Mark, have spent years working across all corners of hospitality, brought together by a shared love of great venues, good food, great drinks and, most importantly, the people you meet along the way.
Our aim was simple: create a relaxed riverside venue where everyone feels welcome. And we couldn’t have found a better place to do it.
Hosting a Function?
We have plenty of options to fit a range of budgets
Careers
We’re always looking for good people to join the team. Whether you’re a hospitality pro, just getting started, or looking for a casual gig by the river, The Pav is all about great people, good energy and creating memorable experiences for our guests. As part of the Bert’s City Beach, GPFC and The Mayflower, we offer plenty of opportunities to learn, grow and build a career in hospitality, all from one of Perth’s best spots on the river.
