Owners Meredith Bastian and Zoe Roy shared their excitement with OUTinPerth.

“It’s great for us because it was the Peoples’ Choice Award so all our regulars and supporters could get in there and vote, and it felt great. Everyone responded so well.” Roy said.

Also we make sure people feel really welcome when they come in the space”
