The art deco Imperial is legendary as the starting point for The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. This old, late-opening LGBTIQ+ favourite put on a new frock in 2018, reopening with a mainly vegetarian restaurant offering Drag N' Dine shows, a dungeon-like basement theatre and a completely contrasting gelati-coloured rooftop cocktail bar.
