Connections uses the ScanTek entry system all night to help keep the venue safe, organised, and enjoyable for everyone.

When you arrive, ScanTek securely scans your ticket and ID to confirm entry, ensuring that only authorised patrons are allowed inside.

This system plays an important role in keeping patrons safe by preventing entry from individuals who have been barred and by flagging safety-related issues associated with patrons at other venues that also use ScanTek. By sharing these safeguards across participating venues, ScanTek helps staff identify potential risks early and maintain a safer environment for everyone inside.

All information is handled securely, and the process is fast and straightforward—designed to protect you.

We are committed to providing an accessible and inclusive environment for all patrons.

The venue is wheelchair accessible via a lift located at the entrance. The lift goes to the main room and terrace. A wheelchair-accessible bathroom is located on the terrace.

Please note that the main room and the terrace are each accessed via one flight of stairs.

There is clear lighting outside the venue entrance, and venue security are stationed at the door to assist patrons with entry. If waiting in the entry queue is not compatible with your accessibility needs, please let security know—they will be happy to help you bypass the queue for a smoother entry.

If you require any assistance during your visit, our staff are always happy to help.

Street parking is available on James Street, and CPP parking is located behind the venue, accessible via Roe Street or James Street.

For quick access, there is also a drop-off area directly outside the venue on James Street.

There are a variety of seating options across the venue for patron comfort.

The main room includes bar stools, cabaret-style tables and chairs, as well as some soft seating.

The terrace features ample seating, with a mix of hard seating and couches available throughout the space.

There are bathrooms on every level of the venue for patron convenience.

A wheelchair-accessible bathroom is located on the terrace.

All guests are welcome to use whichever bathroom they feel most comfortable and safe in, and we are committed to maintaining a gender-inclusive and respectful environment for everyone.

In the main room, there will be no white strobe lighting during shows or throughout the event, though moving lights will be used to enhance the atmosphere.

The terrace features no moving lights and warm dim lighting to provide a calmer environment for those who prefer minimal visual stimulation.

Connections provides low-stimulation areas for patrons who may need a break from loud music or crowds.

On the terrace, there are several quiet spots with couches located near the stairs and next to the wheelchair-accessible bathroom.

In the main room, there is also a small nook of red couches to the right of the stage, which is lightly dimmed and reduces much of the venue’s sound, offering a calmer space to relax near the dancefloor.

There is a designated smoking area located on the terrace outside.

Smoking and vaping are not permitted inside the venue, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all patrons.

Connections offers a variety of non-alcoholic and sober-friendly options for patrons who prefer not to drink alcohol.
