Dalston Superstore stands as a vibrant hub for London's queer community in the heart of East London. By day, it operates as a cozy neighborhood café offering quality coffee, light bites, and a welcoming space for working or catching up with friends under large skylights flooding the upstairs area with natural light.
Come evening, it transforms into a buzzing bar and club with an infectious energy across two floors. Upstairs remains relaxed, while downstairs boasts a spacious dance floor perfect for letting loose. Renowned for its drag performances, cabaret shows, and inclusive events, it attracts a diverse LGBTQ+ crowd with nights like Body Swap for the trans community and Fèmme Fraîche.
The menu features inventive cocktails, gourmet vegan Brazilian burgers, sandwiches, and sweets. Friendly staff create a safe, inclusive vibe, often enhanced by go-go dancers performing on the bar. Nearby sister spot Karaoke Hole adds to the fun for camp sing-alongs. Dalston Superstore embodies queer joy, community, and nightlife in one iconic venue.
