Get ready for this glamorous tribute to our four legged friends – DOGS! It’s a dog eat dog world out there, so whether you’re a dirty mutt or a perfectly preened poodle, come wag your tail at the Impy. (as long as you’re ready to do it doggy style!)
With two brand new fifteen minute production shows featuring your favourite canines Etcetera Etcetera, Fran Giapanni and Space Horse – you’re barking up the right tree on Friday nights at The Impy.
Shows at 8, 9 and 10pm with food so good you’ll need a doggy bag. WOOF!
Dining with us? Book in at any time. Don’t want to grab dinner? No worries – you can watch the shows from anywhere in our Main Bar. Shows at 8, 9 & 10 every Friday. Plus, Sydney’s hottest pop DJ’s on the decks from 9!
Our Friday/Saturday shows run at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm, while our Sunday shows and games run from 6pm. These show sets run for 10 – 15 minutes each- they’re all different and designed for you to see them all!
We run our shows across the whole ground floor- with two new stages plus the bartop in action, every table is the best in the house! We’ll do our best to take your seating preferences into account, but table location is allocated predominately based on group size.
We do have both low backed seats and high top bar stool seating- if you require specific seating as an accessibility requirement, please let us know so we can accommodate this.
As much as we’d love to invite everyone up on stage, we’d run out of time for our queens if we pulled up everyone here celebrating something! But hey, our performers are good-time girls and are always happy for a chat and a pic as long as you say hello and please. In saying that, we’ve got some Sunday secrets up our rhinestoned sleeves, so if you’re really keen on getting some of that special attention, Sunday drag ‘n’ dine is the place to be! Bit of an early bird? Check out our Fancy Feast Drag Brunches for another more personal option.
If you’re looking for a more one on one experience, we’re pleased to offer our private drag function packages and can customize an event just for you. Reach out to imperial.reservations@universalhotels.com.au and let’s talk!
Yes! Provided they follow a few rules. All under 18’s must be accompanied by their legal guardian at all times throughout the venue, must stay seated at their table/not approach the bar, and have to leave the venue by 9pm.
For this reason, we recommend either our Fancy Feast Drag Brunch (Saturdays 1pm-3pm) or our Sunday evening shows, as these run earlier in the evening at 6pm, 7pm, and 8pm. Plus, we offer Sunday exclusive $10 kids meal deals for ages 12 and under!
For parties including minors, please make sure to make a reservation.
Bookings are highly recommended but walk-ins are welcome! For groups of 7+ wishing to dine with us, we do require you go on our compulsory banquet menus. To book for large groups, please email us at imperial.reservations@universalhotels.com.au
We don’t charge to see our shows in the main bar! Your only costs will be food or beverages purchased.
The Imperial Erskineville is pleased to offer a variety of gluten free options on our menu. Our menu contains allergens and is prepared in a kitchen that handles nuts and gluten. Whilst our chefs make all reasonable efforts to accommodate our guests’ dietary needs we only have one kitchen for preparation so there is always a small chance of cross contamination and it may not be suitable for coeliac guests.
Very much so. You can bring your real dogs to the dog show. (And the venue in general) We’d say we’re dog enthusiastic. Please bring your dogs.
The Imperial Erskineville acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional custodians of our land – Australia.
