About this place Connections Nightclub

Connections Nightclub has been the beating heart of Perth's LGBTQ+ nightlife since 1975, making it the longest-running gay club in the southern hemisphere and a City of Perth heritage-listed site. Tucked away on James Street in Northbridge, "Connies" spreads across multiple levels with a main dancefloor, cocktail bar and rooftop, and it turned 50 in December 2025. The programming leans into drag — resident performers and the venue's long-serving entertainment team headline regular shows — alongside dance nights, cabaret and themed parties that pull a mixed, all-ages-of-adult queer crowd. It remains the first stop for many visitors wanting to understand where Perth's gay scene came from and where it still gathers on a Friday and Saturday night.

I had a beautiful women downstairs behind the bar tonight, I did ask for her name because she went above and beyond for customer service tonight, dark hair medium height, I thought it started with A but maybe not I did try and save it in my phone but it didn’t happen… but just want to put a massive shoutout to this girl!! I’ve seen her there before she’s always nice and so friendly and the kind of person I just appreciate to be served by when I’m out!! Don’t get wrong though all the other bartenders have always been awesome!! But she really helped me out tonight 😊🏳️‍🌈

The place is spacious, with several areas, including a very pleasant terrace. It can get quite crowded. The drinks aren't great, but the atmosphere is.
