As seen on The Gala, Thank God You're Here, Guy Montgomery's Guy-Mont Spelling Bee, Taskmaster Australia—and Spicks & Specs tonight, you will absolutely fall in love with his hilariousness, if you haven't already.

It’s our birthday this Saturday and we’re throwing a multi level party!

Introducing you to a selection of our chaotic, charismatic and unforgettable personalities that make Altar Bar the place we love.. ➡️

Hera Fox—The ringleader of QT Cabaret will be here with multiple performances with some VERY special surprise guests.. Pester them for a spoiler alert or stand by! 👠

MILQUEBARTH/RVNKNG—Our weekly vlogger extraordinaire morphs back into Cowboy Sam for the night. Relentless and a little rude.. He likely won’t play your request if he doesn’t dig it. He insists that one Hinder song is Creed. 🤠

Mwah 💖—Whether you know them from a Judy’s stage, or from heading up our Bingo night, Mwah is the queen of sparkles, leopard print and lucky balls. It won’t be hard to find her! ✨

Rob—Our fave funny guy and leader of CULTComedy. Rob will be master of ceremonies, launching our birthday and impromptu MCing all night long. Prepare to cackle. 🎙️

Upstairs free. Downstairs is pocket money. Party Bags in the pool room. SO MUCH MUSIC!

It's our re-birth birthday! 🎂

Two years ago, we scoured Gowans, Marketplace + every tip shop we could find—an attempt to cobble together enough cool stuff to keep Altar alive. Gulp.

Then came the friends! The hosts, the artists and all of you who showed up, listened, danced, drank, laughed and embraced all our quirks—upstairs and down!

We reckon that’s worth a BIIIIIIG party!

So, we’re celebrating with everyone who has made Altar Bar what it is today, including live sets from:
nipaluna
house.band

Sheepwater Ltd
harlii ns_band

+ many familiar faces popping up with surprises throughout the night.
More on that later!

You are all invited.
Saturday 12 September.
Tickets are on sale now. We LOVE you! Thank you!

Two of Perth's most exciting alt-indie + one legendary local act.. All in one night.. for just thirty bucks? Unheard of. But you better believe it's happening, this Sunday!

🌸 —from the FIFA soundtrack to multiple viral videos, this bestie duo know how to make a song stick. Indie-pop + big hooks + even bigger energy.

💧—indie-rock heaven. Powerhouse vocals and sweet guitar riffs that will rock your Ugg boots off.
