COVID-19 Update – October 18th 2021

Hello lovers, welcome back to the Impy. We’d like to send you a big (COVID-safe) virtual kiss in thanks for supporting us over this very challenging time. Providing a space for our local and wider LGBTQI+ community to thrive and connect is our purpose, and despite the changing landscape we now operate our business under, it is with the great privilege we are able to continue doing what we love.

In the current climate, we ask patrons and staff alike to respect the current restrictions outlined by the NSW Government. That means things are a little different to how The Impy can operate, so here is what you can expect in line with the NSW re-opening Roadmap:

A) Only those that are 16 and over that are fully vaccinated and those with medical exemptions will have access to licensed venues.

B) Non-vaccinated young people aged under 16 will be permitted to attend hotels in the company of a responsible adult who is fully vaccinated and a member of their household.

C) Therefore, it is a government mandate that both patrons and staff will be fully vaccinated as a condition of entry and employment at all TSC licensed premises upon reopening.

D) Mask wearing; masks will remain mandatory for front of house staff in indoor areas of hotels.

E) Only hospitality staff will be required to wear a mask when outdoors.

F) Children aged under 12 will not need to wear a mask indoors.

Additionally:

• When entering the venue, all patrons will need to sign in.
• If you have been in close contact with a recent known case, or have cold/flu like symptoms – we request you skip this disco, get tested and join us another time. We love you, but also we need to put the health and safety of our community first. There will always be another party!
• Wherever possible and whatever the occasion, reservations are preferred – this helps the team prepare for your visit and ensure that sufficient space for your group is reserved. We require all patrons who enter our venue to register upon arrival. Hand sanitiser stations are positioned around every level for regular use throughout your visit.
• Imperial UP also has specific sitting times to ensure we can safely accommodate as many of you as possible. If you would like to stay on after your allocated time, we will do our very best to be flexible, so please have a chat with the host on arrival.

From the whole team, from the kitchen, to the bar, to our performers and artists – we thank you for your cooperation and adding some much-needed sparkle to our lives!
