Dalston gay bar
Sink a cocktail in one of London's finest Homosexual bars and pubs and you'll be drinking in more than just some watered down booze: these spots are LGBTQ+ landmarks in their own right, places where you can find group, kinship, and drag-fuelled mayhem. Beats billiards in your local.
Once upon a moment, having a gay ancient time in London meant hotfooting it straight to Soho. But now, the city's queer centre of weight has shifted east, with edgier spots pulling crowds to Dalston when late hours falls, while some of the city's most storied LGBTQ+ venues have taken up residence in Vauxhall. So whether you're after a drag brunch, a burlesque show or just a quiet pint, here's a comprehensive list of the capital's gay and queer-friendly bars and pubs, from the legendary G-A-Y to lesbian-centric She Soho to sing-yer-heart-out special The Karaoke Hole.
RECOMMENDED: Keep the party going at London's best LGBTQ+ clubs.

Dalston Superstore at ‘A gateway into a world of freaks’
In the late s, at around 11pm on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday, the streets of Dalston in east London pulsed with groups of clubbers wearing creepers, clasping tinnies and seeking chaos. Dalston felt like new pastures, and its clubs an unexplored playground to those blissfully ignorant of their role in the gentrification of the neighbourhood, as well as the fact that people had actually been clubbing here for at least 15 years before us. By morning, a faint whiff of mephadrone hung in the air, while the last hipsters, dressed in sports goth attire, sheepishly headed home from an afters as the sellers at Ridley Street Market set up their stands.

Founders Dan Beaumont and Matt Tucker opened the bar-slash-club in as an extension of his queer nights Disco Bloodbath (around the corner) and the famous Trailer Trash, held each Friday at On the Rocks in Shoreditch with Hannah Holland as residen
