Sydney Attractions
Description
Venue: Imperial Hotel When: Daily
Camp classic The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, was filmed at the Imperial Hotel in October 1994, so no prizes for guessing its speciality. It's open seven nights a week, but the most popular nights are Friday and Saturday, which feature a special "Priscilla" drag show throughout the night.
The hotel is the most popular gay venue in the Newtown queer zone and attracts a mixed gay/straight/lesbian audience to the drag shows in the cabaret bar, while in the cruisy Cellar bar (which plays trash-disco and handbag house) the boyz prevail. Dykes usually head for the quieter lounge bar with pool tables.
It's free to get in and the drinks are still reasonably priced for the gay traveller. Gay (and straight) visitors are likely to discover a warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere.
