What reviewers say

Visitors praise Imperio as the best gay club in Arequipa with a VIP area and cool people. However, some note the unassuming exterior and a somewhat unwelcoming initial entry process. There is also a suggestion to play more gay disco music.

From the outside, it doesn't look like much, so when I arrived I wasn't sure if it was the right place. Someone opened the door for us without saying a word, then we went up some stairs to the second floor, where there was someone at reception, so to speak. We paid and had to go to another door where we could already hear the music. The place is small, with a few tables and areas for drinks. The stage is small, the music is 7/10, and the prices of the drinks vary depending on what you order. The bathroom is ugly, and the air conditioning was so strong that day we had to wear sweaters again. We went on a Saturday, and there weren't many people there.

It's the best gay club in Arequipa. There's a VIP area and the people are super cool. I'd just recommend they play more gay disco music. It would be great; I'd give it 100 points.
