The iconic 'mothership' of East London! A queer-friendly cafe with legendary drag brunches by day and a loud, sweaty gay bar/club by night.
About
Dalston Superstore is the beating heart of East London’s alternative scene and a mandatory stop on any 'gay map' of the UK. Located on the vibrant Kingsland High St, this iconic venue in London is far more than just a gay bar; it’s a multi-level sanctuary that transitions seamlessly from a sunny, queer-friendly cafe by day to a legendary, high-energy club by night. During the afternoon, the upstairs space serves as a bright community hub where LGBTQ+ locals and visitors gather for delicious burgers, cocktails, and rotating art exhibitions. The weekends are truly legendary thanks to the 'Drag Brunch,' where East London’s fiercest cabaret stars serve up games, quizzes, and high-octane performances alongside mimosas. As the sun sets, the 'mothership' transforms. The basement 'lazerpit' comes alive with sweat-drenched dance floors and cutting-edge sounds, hosting inclusive nights like 'BodySwap' for the trans+ community and 'Bottom Heavy' for house-loving gay men and their allies. Whether you’re looking for a low-pressure afternoon hangout or a loud night of dancing until the early hours, Dalston Superstore remains a radical, inclusive, and essential pillar of London’s queer life.
