What to Expect @ Liquid
By Hamish Hastie
They're bred differently in Perth's wild south and a different breed needs a different kind of nightspot. Liquid (also known as Liquids, Liqo's, L Town, Quids) provides all the local wildlife with ample watering holes and room for the awe inspiring courting procedures. It is a spacious venue with the upper canopy allowing predators to peer on their prey from above and an outdoor balcony for the smokers and sweaters to cool off, recollect and begin their hunt again. The animals don't seem to mind the assaulting jungle scent the place seems to have lingering about or the fairly out dated but quirky decor. It seems the pool tables and cigarette machines make up for it.
The line to get in this menagerie doesn't take long at all. The zoo keepers are tough, unfriendly and seem to have a strange affection for skate shoe covered hooves, the key is; don't act like a rabid chimpanzee in the line and you'll get in without trouble.
It's a family affair at Liqo's, the wildlife knows the others around it and the pecking order is a sacred thing. If one creature challenges another, higher in the order, whether it be for a mate, a spot at the watering hole or just because their beast within wants some fun, you can be sure it will be settled at the pleasure of the other animals. It seems that Liqo's, on the odd occasion acts as an arena for the Rockingham locals to lock horns. Newcomers should not challenge the Alpha men/women and their night will conclude without a bruise or bite mark.
Saturdays get busy. The young mix with the old but it seems the old yield to the young. A warning for the women venturing into this environment: be defensive and take the alluring charms of the males with a pinch of salt. They are, after all, just trying to reproduce. And you could be the next victim of the unsophisticated post-liquids Rockingham foreshore coitus ritual (a ritual that will far from cleanse you). However, with the bad comes the good and some of the locals will be sure to impress you with their dances and mating howls (and possibly a drink if you're thirsty).
Prices are in line with the rest of Perth. A cover charge of $15 is a bit hefty but there isn't much else in Rockingham that provides this kind of experience. Beers range from $6-10, Spirits around the $8 mark and fancier drinks $10 and above. It's not really about what you're drinking here though, it's about how fast, how much and how drunk you're getting (it's essential too). If you want to party among the creatures and have a good time, make sure you're getting prime position in front of one of the watering holes.
Sobriety is frowned upon in this jungle, and you won't be too happy either if you don't decide to embrace your 'homo erectus' and drop a few brain cells.
I've been here twice and to my surprise, each time was great. The music is cheesy; top 40, house, RnB and plenty of 90's dance. It's not my kind of thing but fun none-the-less. It's a place for two or more to go and you definitely have to have a few drinks or the downfalls will really irk you. Everyone does know everyone but if you're new, you'll be chatted up in no time. A confidence boost if nothing else. The vibe is very animalistic, but don't take it too seriously and don't go too often and you'll be sure to have a Jungle Jam!
