This venue serves as a central meeting place for Western Australia's LGBTQIA+ community, featuring drag performances and electronic dance music events that draw locals throughout the year. The space has become known for fostering connection and expression among its visitors.
The venue can be accessed through multiple entrances, and the outdoor areas provide relief when indoor spaces reach full capacity. Guests should check opening hours in advance and note that certain areas may have varying availability on different nights.
