It took six years to turn a former bike shop into one of Maylands’ best known venues.
Now, after nearly seven years of trading, Lyric’s Bar and Underground is moving up.
A rooftop bar, recently approved, is the next step for the family-run venue.
“It’s about giving people a reason to stay longer,” says owner Michiel de Ruyter.
“If Maylands becomes more of a destination, more people make the trip in the first place.”
Lyric’s has built a steady following with its mix of food, drinks and a purpose-built live music venue beneath street level. Styled with a Melbourne laneway feel, it draws a mix of locals and visitors from across Perth.
The rooftop, designed with community input, is intended to complement the town centre rather than simply expand the venue’s footprint.
That thinking carries through to how the business operates.
