4 of the busiest venues at Fringe
Connections Nightclub
Connections is a venue that offers itself as an alternative to the standard nightclub hotspots in Perth, nestled in the heart of Northbridge.
Open since 1975, “The Club” prides itself on being Perth's premier gay and lesbian nightspot. It’s known for providing the most upfront music played by the best DJs in town, having the friendliest atmosphere and service, and the wildest theme nights and entertainment.
Connections offers something for everyone - especially during FRINGE WORLD!
You can dance all night in the Main Room to the latest and future sounds; enjoy the city views and fresh air on the Terrace; or kick back with your friends, sipping the tastiest cocktails to the smoothest soundtrack in the Lounge.
One thing’s for sure, after one night at Connections, you’ll be begging for more.
