Audience feedback

The Glasshouse looked brilliant as a cabaret lounge. The event was so well organised 10/10.



A wonderful evening and full credit to the City of Belmont for this contribution to community and the arts.

This was my first time attending an event at the Glasshouse and it was phenomenal. The venue is chic and the sound was amazing.


The space looks unreal. Everything was so professional and feels like Belmont has levelled up over the past few years.

I’m so proud to see my local government making bolder choices to reflect the diversity of our community.



The venue is spectacular and the whole event was excellent from start to finish.

About the Afterdark Performance Lounge 

“A cheeky, neon-lit cabaret space with speakeasy vibes and velvet corners made for
whispering secrets or sipping something fizzy
.”
– Xpress Mag

Returning to The Glasshouse, the Afterdark Performance Lounge transforms the venue into an intimate cabaret-style space celebrating iconic music, stories and the people behind them. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a date night or simply looking for something a little different, Afterdark offers an experience that begins well before the curtain rises.

Settle into Premium Lounge Seating and enjoy the comfort of plush velvet chairs with your own side table, perfect for drinks and nibbles throughout the evening. Alternatively, General Admission Café Seating offers a relaxed social setting with café-style tables and chairs, ensuring every guest can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere.

A fully licensed bar will be open throughout the night, serving a selection of locally crafted Western Australian wines, beers and premade cocktails, alongside non-alcoholic options including lemon, lime and bitters and soft drinks. Enjoy a delicious selection of small bites and grazing-style food, making it easy to snack, sip and soak up the entertainment at your own pace.

With great performances, quality food and drink, and a welcoming lounge atmosphere, Afterdark is more than a show it's an experience.
