Reports from Brisbane Times, The Age, and the Sydney Morning Herald say The Imperial, the pub associated with Priscilla’s venue, is scheduled to receive a $5 million facelift under a new operator. The planned renovation focuses on expanding usable space, including doubling the pub’s ground floor area. Sources agree the expansion will be achieved through an enlarged beer garden.
The redevelopment also includes the creation of a 24-hour basement bar, which is cited across all articles as a key feature of the refurbishment. The coverage describes the project as a significant upgrade to the venue’s layout and trading hours, with the additional basement space intended to increase late-night amenity.
While the reports share these core details, they do not provide consistent information on the operator’s identity, specific construction timelines, or regulatory approvals in the excerpts provided. Overall, the sources converge on the project scope: a $5 million investment, ground-floor expansion via a bigger beer garden, and a new basement bar operating around the clock.
