Imperial Hotel Overview & Experience

The "Impy" is an iconic LGBTQI+ venue in the inner west.

It is deceptively big. The ground floor hosts drag and a big dance floor on the weekends. Upstairs is more seating space, that hosts drag and dine brunches and meals.

There are drag queens either hosting or performing everyday it is open Wednesday to Sunday. The queens that perform/host can be quite well known and attract big crowds. It is more wild than other venues, with the performers on the bar and getting right into it.

The crowd is very inclusive of non-LGBTQI+. Commonly half the crowd are girls and the age range varies from 20-40. The music is commercial, with a pop touch.

It is undoubtedly one of the funnest vibes in Sydney, and is regularly packed on the weekends.

Downstairs there is the basement, which hosts separate events. The busyness and entry fee vary according to the promoter.
