About Villa

Villa is a long-established multi-level nightclub and live-music venue at 187 Stirling Street in Perth’s inner city. Housed in a former supper-club building, it was **renovated and re-opened in 2009** as a modern dance club (www.clubbingscene.com.au). Villa spans two floors with three bar areas and a large stage (www.clubbingscene.com.au) (www.onlyperth.com.au). Its flexible open-plan layout and state-of-the-art sound system make it famous for accommodating touring DJs, live bands and all kinds of parties (www.clubbingscene.com.au) (www.onlyperth.com.au). The design is sleek and contemporary, with an emphasis on lighting and acoustics. Villa’s owners pride it on setting trends: one club guide calls it “production-perfect” and “built to handle anything any promoter can throw its way” (www.clubbingscene.com.au) (www.zestapp.com.au). This makes Villa one of Perth’s most versatile and iconic nightlife venues. It regularly hosts media events, product launches and fashion shows as well as club nights, reflecting its status as a stylish multi-purpose space (www.clubbingscene.com.au) (www.zestapp.com.au). Villa can welcome **hundreds of guests** in a typical configuration (modular standing-room concert or festival layout) and has an **impressive capacity** for the city (www.onlyperth.com.au). Despite its size, the venue still offers an intimate club vibe: VIP areas and balconies overlook the central dance floor. Signature features include multiple bars (on different levels and an outdoor alfresco bar), a high-production DJ booth, and a heavy-duty concert sound system (www.zestapp.com.au) (scoop.com.au). The venue has undergone several upgrades; recent renovations refreshed the decor and tech, rendering Villa “fresh” with an even more “impressive sound system” (scoop.com.au) (www.zestapp.com.au). In short, Villa is notable for its **stylish interior design** and **flexibility** – it isn’t tied to one music style or scene. From its red-velvet lounge areas to its strobe-lit main floor, Villa blends nightclub glitz with live-show production values, making it a landmark of Perth’s nightlife.

Events and Programming

Villa’s calendar is packed with late-night dance events, DJ sets, and the occasional live concert or comedy show. The venue is best known for hosting **electronic dance music** parties – especially house, techno, drum & bass and hip-hop – although it also books rock, pop and R&B acts. Over the years, Villa has seen acts like **Pendulum** and **Illenium**, local DJs and hip-hop artists, as well as EDM party crews. For example, **Flight Facilities** (a major Australian electronica duo) sold out Villa on their 2018 “Return Flight” tour (www.outinperth.com), and world-renowned DJ **John Digweed** played there multiple times (commenting in a blog that even fans from Italy drove a couple of hours to attend (www.outinperth.com)). The club frequently hosts drum-and-bass nights, especially on weekends; promoters often bring international bassline DJs there (as seen in event listings for 2024-25). It has also been the home venue for the **Pride WA Snowbreeze Winter Dance Party**, a popular queer community event (www.outinperth.com). Many events at Villa start late (often around 9pm or later) and run into the early hours (typically until 3-4am on weekends). Recurring weekly nights might include techno nights, hip-hop jams, or trendy vintage dance parties. Ticket prices vary by event: smaller local DJ nights might be cheap or even free, whereas big-name headliner shows typically range from around $30 up to $80 or more. Villa is also booked for private functions and corporate parties, so some nights are exclusive or invite-only. Overall, the programming is **eclectic**, changing from week to week. Club guides note that “the music style may be variable and change from night to night; Villa’s vibe remains the most vital ingredient” (www.onlyperth.com.au). In short, visitors can expect a high-energy club experience almost any night of the week, with nights of house, breakbeat, R&B and pop, plus occasional specialty nights (for example, Latin or reggae themes).

Tickets and Booking

Tickets for Villa events are usually sold through official outlets or on the club’s own website. High-demand shows often go on sale weeks in advance, and presales can sell out quickly. For popular DJs or unique one-off shows, it’s wise to buy tickets right when they are released. Some events may sell tickets at the door if not sold out, but entry is never guaranteed without a ticket on big nights. Check the *Villa Nightclub* official website or authorized event pages for ticket details. Many promoters offer tiered pricing (earlybird vs general-admission vs VIP), and group or membership discounts sometimes apply. Day-of-show door sales may run out fast, so it’s good to plan ahead for major concerts. Pricing tiers typically range from affordable club-night prices (around $10–$30) up to higher rates ($50–$80) for major headliners or international acts. Villa sometimes offers special package tickets for large events, but avoid scalpers or unknown resellers. In general, the best strategy is to book through official channels (promoter page, authorized ticket link, or Facebook event). There is no permanent box office; instead, Villa relies on online ticket services and on-arrival ticket outlets. For some late-night events, “tickets at the door” with cash or card payment are accepted if capacity allows. Always bring a printed or digital confirmation of purchase if you have pre-booked.

Seating and Layout

The venue floorplan is mostly **standing room**. There are no fixed seats on the main dance floor; instead, guests mill around or cruise the bar areas and mezzanine. The ground floor features a wide open dance area in front of the stage and DJ booth. The **stage and DJ booth** are elevated so DJs and performers are visible from most of the floor. A metal railing or low barricade usually separates the crowd from the stage. Behind this charge-barrier area, the crowd fills in, but you can move freely to the sides or back of the floor if you prefer a less crowded view. The **second level balcony** overlooks the dance floor. This mezzanine wrap-around area has additional bars and some standing/sitting spots. It’s a great place to catch a more relaxed view of the action below. People often gather along the balcony railing for a clear sightline. If you want an overview of the whole club, head upstairs where the sound is still strong but with a tamer vibe. Balconies also let you hear the booming bass and chat with friends away from the crush. There are three main bars: one in the front downstairs, one at the back of the dance floor, and one outside in the outdoor/alfresco section. Cup holders or small ledges are provided near bars to set down drinks. Most nights are general admission, but occasionally promoters sell a limited number of **VIP table passes**. Those usually include reserved portions of the mezzanine or front-bar area and bottle service. If you get a VIP wristband, you’ll have access to the cordoned-off VIP tables and quicker entry to the DJ area. Acoustically, the best listening spots are usually in the center of the floor, not right against the speakers. The subwoofer position is typically to one side of the stage, so sitting directly in front may feel a bit hollow. Side areas or the balcony are good for balanced sound at high volume. If you prefer dancing without extreme bass, the mezzanine or bar perimeters offer a great compromise. Sightlines are generally excellent: even from near the back wall downstairs, the stage and big video screens are clearly visible. In short, there is no “bad seat” – it’s a club, not a theater – but front and center guarantees the full thumping experience. If you want to avoid the very loudest spots, aim for a few meters back or upstairs. Beer stalls are kept at the sides so they minimally block view. When planning where to stand or lean: be aware that the **dancefloor is entirely general admission**. It can get very crowded on party nights. Often you’ll see people marking out a little personal space along the side walls or even on the stairs up. If you plan to move, notice that there are a few short staircases connecting floors – one on each end of the club – which can get busy when people move between levels. Those are the only steps, otherwise the venue is mostly flat. If you want to avoid bottlenecks later, make note of where the stairs are located near beer lines in case you want to switch floors.

Getting There and Parking

Villa is in central Perth, a few blocks north of the CBD core. The address is **187 Stirling Street, Perth WA 6000**. It’s roughly one kilometer (0.6 mile) north of the Perth Train Station and adjacent to the Northbridge entertainment precinct. **Driving:** Street parking right outside Villa is scarce and metered (about $6 per hour weekdays, $11 for two hours on weekends (www.parkopedia.com.au)). The most convenient paid parking is the Wilson Car Park at 22 Stirling St (about one block away) with affordable early-evening rates (around $4 for two hours). The cheaper Barrack Street Bridge car park is also a 5-minute walk west. There are several larger lots 5–10 minutes away on foot (e.g. Citiplace or The Cultural Centre car park). Rideshare drop-offs can use Stirling or Roe streets; a typical Uber/Lyft price from the airport or Fremantle is $25–$35 depending on traffic. Make sure your GPS is set to “Villa Nightclub, Stirling St” because simply “Villa” can mislead. **Public Transport:** Villa is accessible by public transport. The **Perth Train Station** (Central Station) is the closest heavy rail stop (about a 12–15 minute walk down Aberdeen/Barrack Street). From there, one can walk west on Wellington St and south on Roe St to Stirling. Transperth buses run frequently on nearby William Street (north–south) and on Wellington/Barrack (east–west). Bus routes 950/960 on William St will drop you a few blocks from the club; similarly, some northbound routes on Beaufort St stop at Roe Street, then it’s a 3-minute walk. Late-night weekend services (CAT buses) circle Perth free of charge along Hay and Wellington St – though Villa is slightly outside the CAT loop, walking two blocks south to Wellington St finds the yellow CAT stops. The official Transperth journey planner and Google Maps can give the latest routes and timings. For **walking/Rideshare:** If you’re staying in the city (CBD or Northbridge), Villa is an easy 10-minute walk from Hay St Mall or Northbridge’s bar strip (William/King). Taxis can queue up the road on some nights, but rideshare (Uber/Didi) apps have become common; just set the address and wait for pickup/dropoff at the front door. Nearby landmark: the club sits just south of the Northbridge Piazza and opposite the State Building – so any taxi driver in Perth usually knows Stirling St.

Inside the Venue

Upon arrival, look for the main entrance on Stirling Street. Security at the door will scan IDs (Australian law requires 18+ to enter) – so bring photo ID (driver’s licence, passport, etc.). Be prepared for a quick security pat-down or bag check. Villa enforces the usual nightclub rules: no outside food or drink, no weapons, and typically no large backpacks. Most nights the club is 18+ only; on rare all-ages shows (if any), you’ll be informed in advance. Note that Perth has strict liquor laws: patrons must stay sober enough to remain orderly and IDs may be scanned or checked to prevent banned patrons. Inside, the vibe is high-energy. The stage lights, LED backdrops and smoke machines pulsate to the music. If you’ve been waiting outside, entering feels like stepping into a carnival of sound and light. Vinyl or CD DJs in the booth (or a live band on stage) will usually be accompanied by powerful synchronized lighting rigs. On busy nights, Villa can get very crowded and loud – keep personal items secure. In the trough of the crowd, expect full bass and flashing strobes; on the mezzanine it will still be pumping but somewhat more spacious. Patrons often note the friendly atmosphere: the crowd tends to be young and mixed, with locals and tourists alike. Staff (security, bartenders) work quickly to keep the night moving. The house lights dim completely during peak sets. If you need a break, head up to the fan-cooled balcony – there’s often a mild refrigerated blast at the bar, or step outside to the **alfresco courtyard** for fresh air. That outdoor area is partly covered but open-walled; smoker-breaks happen there (with a separate bar). The club has multiple bathrooms (men’s and women’s) on each floor. Lines can form at peak times, so plan accordingly or use off-peak moments. For convenience, the bars accept credit cards. One thing about WA: contactless payment is very common these days, so even for beverage lines you can often tap-on your phone or card. There is usually an ATM at the back wall (though use it earlier as people can’t gamble here, only drink). Few other amenities: There’s no coat check in a traditional sense, but on colder nights patrons often leave jackets in a line or pay a $5 tab for ‘valet checker’ at the bar. Merchandise tables (selling tour T-shirts or stickers) pop up occasionally on music tours. If you get VIP access, you’ll have a small server area where you can stash your stuff. For connectivity, Perth’s CityLite is often decent, so mobile data for ride share apps works on the dance floor. Wi-Fi is not provided; plan to share videos later. Sound-wise, guests advise earplugs on especially heavy-bass nights.

Nearby Amenities

Villa’s location in Northbridge means it’s surrounded by Perth’s nightlife district. **Pre-show dining:** Just a block south of Roe Street is *Northbridge Piazza* and Chinatown, where dozens of casual eateries line the streets. You’ll find everything from Asian noodle bars and pizzas to BBQ ribs. A 5–10 minute walk west on Roe or Wellington Street leads to the Central Business District, where there are cafes, sushi bars, Indian restaurants and pubs. Many club-goers enjoy grabbing dinner on William or Fitzgerald Avenue beforehand (these streets have burger joints, kebabs and Vietnamese food). If you want to make an evening of it, consider heading to nearby James Street for cocktails at a rooftop bar, or the new Highgate/Leederville cafe strip (Reid Highway is a bit farther but scenic). **Bars and pubs:** Being in a bar district means Villa is near several bars to explore. For instance, there’s a popular sports bar a block away for pre- or post-drinks, a retro game bar down the street, and classic pubs (like the Majestic on Roe) within short walking distance. If this is your first night out, a good strategy is to arrive early in Northbridge, hop between a couple of bars (many have happy hours until 8pm), and then head to Villa around 10pm when lines form. After the club, some Northbridge spots stay open late or re-open for the city crowd (e.g. 24/7 cafes or kebab stands right across from Villa). **Hotels:** There are many places to stay nearby for visiting guests. High-end options include the *Rendezvous Hotel* on William Street (a 5-minute walk) or one of the CBD marques (Sofitel, Hyatt etc. 10 minutes away on foot). There are also budget hotels and serviced apartments around Northbridge. Particularly convenient is the *Criterion Hotel* on Hay Street or *Great Eastern Hotel* on Pier Street. Most city hotel shuttles can drop off or pick up directly in front of Villa. **Other logistics:** If you plan to taxi it home after, know that late-night cabs commonly queue on Roe Street or Wellington. Uber/Lyft drivers should set the pickup location to “Stirling St, near Roe St” for best pickup. Many clubbers split fares to the suburbs; going out with phone wallets fully charged is wise.

What Makes This Venue Special

Several features set Villa apart in Perth’s club scene. Architecturally, its two-story design with multiple bars and a dedicated DJ booth is larger and more elaborate than most neighbourhood pubs. The massive stage and professional lighting rig give it a concert-hall feel. Unlike a flat warehouse or a single-room bar, Villa’s layout allows for diverse experiences simultaneously (you can dance hard downstairs or chill upstairs). Historically, Villa has been at the center of Perth’s dance and LGBT culture. For example, it regularly hosts events for **Pride WA** – in 2012 it even became a snowy winter wonderland for the city’s Snowbreeze dance party (www.outinperth.com). Many local legends have graced its decks, and international DJs often choose Villa as Perth stopover. Australian media have lauded Villa’s versatility; music sites describe it as possibly “the most versatile venue in Perth” (www.outinperth.com). Its inclusion on a British site as a top-tier Perth nightclub underscores its reputation. Villa’s cultural impact is notable: it draws crowds from across the state and beyond. As club columnist John Digweed remarked after a Perth show, fans “travelled from Italy” just to see him at Villa (www.outinperth.com). That kind of commitment shows Villa’s draw – it’s a destination club where out-of-towners plan nights around the scheduled act. Locally, it’s known as a place where the cutting-edge comes first: VIP industry parties, record label showcases and festival launches all happen here. On the flipside, it also offers an inclusive community atmosphere – with themed nights and drag or burlesque shows on occasion – making it beloved by different subcultures. Even financial and tech upgrades have kept it ahead: its recent sound system install and fresh décor meant press reports could say Villa now “remains the most stylish nightclub in Perth” (www.zestapp.com.au) (www.onlyperth.com.au). Inside, the constant parties and high production values cement Villa’s “vibe remains the most vital ingredient” (www.onlyperth.com.au). Whether it’s the booming subs on a EDM night, the house music mixing through its in-ceiling speakers, or the lasers sweeping across balconies, Villa’s personality is electric. In short, it matters to Perth not just as a club but as a cultural hub for nightlife: artists line up to play there, fans queue for blocks, and Perth’s event planners know Villa can *host anything* without limitations (www.clubbingscene.com.au) .

Visitor Tips and Information

**Accessibility:** Villa’s ground floor is wheelchair-accessible (level entrance and no interior steps initially). However, the second level has only stairs; no public elevator is installed. If you require an accessible seat or table, contact the venue ahead of time – staff can arrange a downstairs space. The restrooms have at least one large wheelchair-accessible stall. Hearing-impaired visitors note that the sound is very loud; look for the quietest spots like the balcony. **What to bring/not bring:** Bring photo ID (drivers licence, passport or Proof of Age card) and preferably a credit/debit card for drinks. Most night patrons travel light: small wallets or cell phones. Large backpacks or suitcases are disallowed (remember it’s a nightclub, not a conference). Umbrellas and large sports bags should be checked at the bar or left at home. You may bring a compact camera for personal photos, but professional cameras or video gear are not allowed without permit. Lock your valuables; Vienna-style “chain watches” or phone straps can prevent theft on the dance floor. **Common mistakes:** A frequent oversight is underestimating the walk: if you have disabled parking, you still may need to walk a block. Also, skeptically expect the entry line; on big nights, the queue can stretch around the corner. Another tip: respect the door staff’s dress code. Perth clubs often enforce a “smart casual” code – avoid sportswear, closed-toe shoes are recommended (some clubs forbid sandals), and no offensive graphics. If you get refused for dress, check nearby bars first. **Age and ID:** Villa is strictly 18+ (proof of age *Western Australia Liquor Control Act*). If you look under 25, the bouncers will check ID. Foreign visitors should carry passports. Minors (under 18) cannot enter even in company of adults. The club occasionally offers daytime youth workshops or music classes, but its nightclub program is 18+. **Dress code:** While not formal, the crowd tends to be on the dressy side. On a Friday or Saturday, most people wear collared shirts, smart jeans or dresses. Flashy nightclub attire (silk tops, urban streetwear) is welcome. Do *not* wear sports team hats or jerseys, ripped ragged clothing, or work boots. The bouncers will turn away anyone not meeting the mid-range dress standard (no shoes, socks and slacks without a collar, etc.). **Food and Drink:** There’s no kitchen, so Villa itself doesn’t serve food. You can eat beforehand at nearby takeaway shops or pack snacks for after-hours (many people eat kebabs or burgers on the way home). Drinks must be purchased on-site. Villa’s bars serve beer, ciders, basic wine by-the-glass and standard spirits (vodka, rum, tequila, etc., plus simple mixers). Bottle service or table wine is available on request. Drink prices are typical nightclub mark-ups – roughly $7–$10 for a basic cocktail or $6–$8 for beer. If you have a bottle service tab, bartenders will pour drinks onto your table when ordered. **Smoking:** As of current law, smoking is allowed only in the outdoor alfresco area or directly on the balconies (if they are open-air). If you must smoke, exit the main building upstairs or use the patio. Be courteous: quickly step outside to light up and use the provided bins for butts. Staff will not permit indoor smoking. **Photography and Recording:** Flash photography is generally discouraged during performances (it can blind DJs). Casual phone-camera use is fine for personal memories, but no professional filming without venue approval. Many shows have photo/video staff; if an official photographer is there, wear your best dance moves – your photo might end up on Villa’s social media! Tag responsibly. **Arrival Time:** For big events, people often arrive around 9–10pm. DJs typically start late (10–11pm) and peak hours are midnight to 2am. Arriving too early (before 9pm) may be pointless as bars may not open fully until then. Conversely, arriving too late (after 2am) risks missing the headliner or long lines at the door. Plan to be there at opening time for smaller gigs, or by 10pm for big club shows. **Noise and Courtesy:** The music is **very loud**. If visiting with friends who want to chat, head to the balcony or bar areas. Respect others – no bumping, screaming or reckless pushing on the dance floor. Keep hydrated (drinking water at the bar is wise between cocktails). **Local Tips:** - **Lost property:** If you leave something behind, call Villa within 24 hours. They keep jackets, phones or personal items turned into lost & found for a short period. - **Emergency:** There are well-lit exit paths, but if you need help, any staff member can assist (they have radios and medics on call). - **Culture:** Aussies call it “the club” or “Villa.” Locals often say “capping off the night with a Villa session.” If you hear “we’re heading to the cave,” they mean Villa (former nickname).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the capacity of Villa Nightclub?

Villa Nightclub is a large two-level venue with a dance floor and balcony, holding several hundred people. It’s often described as having an impressive capacity (www.onlyperth.com.au). Exact numbers vary by event setup (standing concert style vs. seated function), but expect space for 500–700 guests in standard nightclub configuration.

What types of events are held at Villa?

Villa hosts a wide range of events, from local club nights to international DJ concerts. You’ll find electronic dance parties (house, techno, drum & bass, etc.), hip-hop nights, R&B or pop-themed events, and even occasional live band shows or comedy nights. It also serves as a venue for private events like corporate parties and fashion launches. The lineup changes weekly, so check their events calendar or local listings.

How do I buy tickets for a show at Villa? Are door tickets available?

Tickets are typically sold online through official outlets or the event promoters. For popular shows with limited capacity, it’s best to buy in advance online to guarantee entry. Some events may allow door sales if not sold out, but you should arrive early – doors often open around 9pm and lines can be long. No permanent box office exists, so look for drop-down ticket links on the show’s social media or Villa’s website. Avoid scalpers. Pricing depends on the act: local club shows may be inexpensive, bigger headliners may cost $50–$80.

Are there assigned seats or table reservations at Villa?

No assigned seating is provided on the main dance floor. Villa is primarily general admission. However, some promoters offer **VIP table service** or reserved sections for purchase. These VIP packages (if available) include a reserved area near the stage or balcony with bottle service. For general admission events, you stand or roam freely – early arrival secures a preferred spot.

What are the best spots to watch the show at Villa?

For an immersive experience, standing front and center on the ground floor gets you close to the stage and speakers. If you want to dance closely with others, climb up to the barricade nearest the DJ booth. For a more spacious environment or better visualization, the upstairs balcony offers clear sightlines over the crowd. Service-speed at the bar is often quicker upstairs. Ultimately, sound is great across the venue; it’s a matter of crowd density and view preference.

How do I get to Villa Nightclub by public transport?

The nearest train station is **Perth Station** (about a 12-minute walk) on Wellington St. From there walk north on Stirling/William Street. Several buses stop nearby on William St and Wellington St. On weekends, free City CAT buses circulate close by on Hay and Wellington (within a short walk). The Newcastle and Wellington Street bus stations in the CBD are also about 10 minutes’ walk. Late-night taxi and rideshare services regularly pick up/deliver at Villa’s front door (Stirling/Roe). Check Google Maps or Transperth for route details.

Where can I park if I drive to Villa? How much does parking cost?

Street parking on Stirling Street is very limited (usually short-term meters at ~$5–$6 per hour (www.parkopedia.com.au)). Nearby options include the 22 Stirling St public car park (inexpensive two-hour rates under $5), or the Barrack Street Bridge lot ($5 for two hours). Evening rates at larger city car parks (Cultural Centre, Citiplace) are roughly $10–$15 for a few hours. Remember: late-night street parking may be paid until 6pm on weekdays. Ride-sharing or drop-off is often easier to avoid parking hassle.

Is the venue wheelchair accessible?

The ground level of Villa is wheelchair-accessible via a flat entrance. However, the second floor is only reachable by stairs (no public elevator), so viewing upstairs is not possible if you cannot climb. There is a wheelchair-friendly toilet on the main floor. If you have special access needs, it’s best to contact the venue beforehand; they may reserve an area near the entrance for you.

What is the dress code at Villa Nightclub?

Villa enforces a smart-casual dress code typical of Perth nightclubs. Fashionable club attire is encouraged (stylish tops, collars, fitted jeans/dresses). Avoid sportswear, hats, work boots or overly casual wear like ripped track pants. If you arrive too informally dressed, security may turn you away. For women, heels or clean sneakers are fine; for men, no flip-flops or tank tops. A neat appearance ensures quick entry.

Can I bring a camera or record video inside Villa?

Small personal cameras and smartphones are allowed for personal photos. However, professional cameras or video recording (especially with tripods or microphones) are prohibited unless you have explicit permission from the venue or event promoter. Flash photography during shows is discouraged. Many events have an official photographer, so expect positives (like free photo sharing) on high-profile nights.

What are the lighting and sound like in Villa? Should I bring earplugs?

Villa has a high-powered club sound system and professional lighting. Bass can be very loud – it’s a nightclub built for dance music – so earplugs are a good idea, especially if you plan to stand close to the speakers for a long set. The main floor often features strobe lights, lasers and fog effects. The mezzanine allows a slightly calmer environment, but it’s still loud. Regardless, expect an immersive audio-visual experience; coming prepared (ear protection, eye rest breaks) ensures comfort.

Does Villa have an age restriction or ID requirements?

Yes. By Western Australian law, Villa is strictly 18+ for most nights. Everyone appears 25 or younger must show valid proof of age (driver’s license, passport, or WA photo card). This policy is always enforced at the door. There are rare youth-oriented events during the day, but evening club programming is 18+. Plan to bring original ID – photocopies are not accepted.

Are there age-specific events or dress code nights at Villa?

Villa occasionally hosts theme nights (e.g. retro disco, 90’s R&B night, or special electronic music venues), but these still require attendees to be 18+. There is no strict uniform or theme dress code for general nights, aside from the smart-casual standard. Special events (like Pride parties or charity galas) may encourage certain attire, but you will be advised in the event listing if there’s a theme.

Can I drink water or non-alcoholic drinks in the club?

Villa bars serve a non-alcoholic selection (sodas, juices, bottled water, energy drinks) so you can buy those anytime. Free water fountains are not provided on dance floors, but you can always buy water from any bar. If you feel thirsty between drinks (recommended for a club’s heat), ask the bartender for tap water – they usually comply. Outside food or drink is not allowed, so bring cash/card for bar purchases instead.

Is smoking allowed inside Villa?

No, smoking is banned inside the building. Villa provides a dedicated outdoor smoking/alfresco area (with partial cover) connected to the club. Whenever you need a cigarette, head into that section. Some upstairs balconies are also open-air and commonly used by smokers. Just exit the crowd and use the designated spots. Always extinguish cigarettes in the provided bins before re-entering the club.

Is Wi-Fi available at Villa?

Villa does not offer public Wi-Fi. Expect to use your mobile data or wait until later. Perth’s cellular coverage is generally good, so Instagram and ride-share apps (Uber, Ola) should work throughout the club. It’s advisable to set rideshare pick-up on arrival outdoors.

What kind of clothing is recommended for a night at Villa?

Dress to club standards: stylish yet comfortable. For example, neat jeans or slacks with a nice shirt or blouse, or a casual dress. Layer lightly – it can be hot inside once dancing. Women often bring a small clutch bag; men typically carry just a wallet and phone. Sturdy shoes are advised (sneakers or boots) since you might dance for hours. In cooler months, bring a light jacket you can hang at the coat check or lean against a wall (space is limited on the dance floor).
