Great to see The Imperial back up on her size 13 killer heels and more fabulous than ever! Serving live drag, an unbeatable cocktail game and fantastic food. Great staff and service totally on point.

Has a great mixed crowd - full of gays, lesbians , and a fun drag scene. But watch out as the drink prices can run high!

You won’t find a better drag queen in Sydney – this is THE birthplace of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert ! http://barchick.com/find-a-bar/sydney/the-imperial-hotel

The drag show was well worth the money. Had such a good night and a refreshing change to the awful Oxford Street. Must visit!

Pierre

Drag and dine is always a good time. But definitely come for the weekend parties and the weekly drag race viewings !

This place has scrubbed up pretty!

Chris Killham

Don't hit in the staff unless you're tipping well

Adam Cooney

Don't forget to bring your earplugs to the drag show . The volume is way too high and tinny it will kill your hearing.

Peter Uren

$20 for access to drag shows and dance floor , but keep in mind that they will close the dance floor if they decide not enough people are using it. No refunds.

Amanda Garner

Bingay on a Tuesday night is fun for both gays and straights!

Melissa Vogt

Donny Douchebag

Free drinks in exchange for karaoke performances . No matter how bad.
