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 😊🏳️‍🌈

First thing I did when arriving to Perth for my first visit: walk into Connections Second thing I did in Perth: make friends at an amazing drag show by trans performers Could this amazingly long standing queer venue be any better? Not for me, it was absolutely incredible. Cute friendly bar staff, great crowd, reasonably priced drinks, and even friendly guards letting people know it’s a gay club (god I must look so straight these days 🥲) I hope this place sticks around forever ❤️‍🔥

Honestly one of the worst experiences I’ve had in Northbridge, Perth. This place feels more like a business focused on taking your money than actually treating people fairly. We paid the cover fee, went inside, had only one beer, and were completely fine. After briefly going to the restroom, we were suddenly kicked out and accused of being drunk — which was absolutely not true. It’s very frustrating to be judged and labeled without any real assessment of your condition. It felt like the decision was based on nothing more than a quick impression from security, rather than reality. Being charged to enter and then removed without valid reason is unacceptable. It’s disrespectful and honestly feels like a way to profit off people without providing a proper service. Very disappointing and unfair treatment. I would not recommend this place.

Experienced homophobia from a brown security guard at the club. Me and my partner were told to leave within 25 minutes from entering the club. We had experienced several bouts of homophobia from the security guard who seemed quite unhappy at the PDA between my partner and I who happened to be 2 males. This is unacceptable given that this is supposed to be an inclusive club that respects LGBTQIA people and their displays of affection . I am expecting answers for this discrimination given the fact there were no grounds for our removal from the club as we were not drunk and merely showing PDA between 2 males that seems to be the reason we were kicked out. This experience was incredibly appalling given that we have gone to several LGBT inclusive clubs prior with no issues.
