Dalston Superstore in Hackney

I just wanna give 5 stars bc of who was working yesterday! I had a very rough day, I lost my bag during the weekend on a night out and went to Dalston Superstore looking for it as it was the last place I went to on Saturday. They didn’t have it but they were so nice to me and kind ! I really appreciated it. Thank you !!! :)

Got my jacket stolen here! But the music was fun.

Cannot understand the idea of charging £8 entry to a glorified bar with awful music...

Best drag brunch experience ever! Even if it was a holiday and not too energetic, the hosts and staff kept up the great vibes. Plus the food and drinks were fairly priced. Y'all should definitely go!

Aggressive bouncers. Was told we couldn’t enter as it was full- fair enough. We left the queue and started looking on our phone as the side of the road to work out our barings and had a horrible bouncer come up to us and said we couldn’t stand there! I’m sorry but last time I checked it is perfectly legal to stand on the side of the road!

Would give 0 stars if possible purely because the bouncer in green in this photo was extremely hostile and rude for no reason. He told four of us (all girls) that we couldn’t come in and when I asked for a reason he said that he didn’t have to give us one. The other two people working there (one of them pictured on the right) did nothing to defend us. As they gave us absolutely no reason and let people in front of us in, I genuinely believe they were being homophobic and possibly racist as we were not causing any trouble.

Been coming to superstore for years but the bouncer tonight was genuinely hostile and aggressive. I don’t understand the attitude. One of my favourite clubs but not sure I would come again now - what has happened?!

I had SUCH a fun night, on a Sunday no less. Vibes were high, great people, the only thing that tainted the experience was the incredibly rude security guard on the way out. My friends and I were patiently waiting for a cab and - as I always am friendly and appreciative of security staff outside venues - was so with the guard outside who refused to say anything and looked at me and my friends like absolute scum. This has no place in an inclusive LGBTQ+ friendly bar, hence why I’m leaving a review. The vibes inside should match the exit.

A fantastic brunch with Barbs - please book her as much as possible and perhaps extend the time slot if you can?

Impeccable vibe, lovely staff, fun and welcoming!

Went here recently for a birthday and had such a great evening. Really great staff, vibes off the chart and felt like a very lovely fun and safe place to be. Very queer friendly!

Used to have nice staff on the door and at the bar. Now smartass says it shuts either 1 or 2. I know it's going to shut at 1 because I can see there's no one inside! I'm a trans person going blind and never had any help from anyone but you want me to pay £5 to get in for 1 drink when there's literally no-one in the place. Then I have to show my ID to get in and the guy spends 5 minutes staring at it like it's a fake id.

I love that place always make me happy n I get what I need

Shocking discrimination & very rude staff, will never come here again, avoid like the plague

Lively, and fun atmosphere. But the most disgusting toilets I have seen in decades. They seem to have plenty of turnover and be making lots of money so, Why??? We far preferred the vibe in nearby Nelson’s.

Sorry superstores! We’ve been coming to you for years, so I hate leaving a bad review but your security is awful. We decided to not enter, as your rude security with a power complex decided to poke his camera and threaten us for no reason. We go to the Rio and then for a nightcap most weeks and usually feel safe and welcome. Shame as we want to support our queer spaces but having unwelcoming staff has moved us along elsewhere successfully. We feel as a Lesbian couple that this is a big problem and needs addressing as our safe spaces are limited. I guess superstore are either desperate or they do not care how staff greet their customers who already experience these issues in the majority of other places we have to go.

Good music and reasonable drink prices

A place where the manager and the security doesn’t care about the safety of the client. I have had a very unpleasant experience in the bar. A random guy stole my drink at the bar, I went straight to the security to address my experience, the staff (security and the manager) allowed the guy to stay at the bar offering me another drink, just few minutes later the same guy came over, touched me with no consent, I had addressed the matter but no action was taken. I’ve decided to leave the place as I was very uncomfortable. Before leaving I had told the security about my decision to leave as I couldn’t stay in a place where stealing and touching with no consent is allowed and the only answer has been “this was the manager decision!” I still can’t believe what happened to me! Seriously! I feel so horrified by such attitude from ppl, and from staff members who should have taken action against this! Horrible! Hope this doesn’t happen to anyone again!

love this place, very nice vibes.

possibly the worst chips i've ever tasted. the drag queens only cater to their friends and give them all the prizes at drag brunch. dumb af security who judge who's going to enter. it's ok if you stop for a drink or two when it's not busy though

great club, came as allies had no problem with the staff. amazing music and atmosphere.

I came by myself quite a long way to the neighborhood to go to this bar around 1am, and the guy in front asked me if I was ‘looking for an lgbt space’. As a visibly queer woman of color who doesn’t enjoy discussing my sexuality with strangers, I found the question to be off-putting and gauche especially coming from a cis white man, but I played along and answered an affirmative ‘sure’. He told me to move along because ‘sure’ was not the answer he was looking for, and when I asked why he was turning me away, he said that the purpose of this venue was to hold space for queer people wanting an lgbt space, and my ‘sure’ was not an acceptable answer. Which is baffling to me. Is every patron supposed to be subjected to being directly confronted about their queerness and what they are looking for? Perhaps it was a cultural difference as ‘sure’ is generally interpreted as ‘yes’ in America. A friend recommended this spot to me because apparently the vibes were supposed to be good, so I’m shocked by how awkward and mildly embarrassing the experience was. The irony is in trying to uphold their bureaucratic standards of ‘safe space for the lgbt community’, I left feeling remarkably unsafe and lowkey triggered. I left quickly and without making a fuss at the door as the venue didn’t seem worth the trouble. I wouldn’t come back here if I could help it

The brunch performer singled us out for being straight and made me feel awful. They were very intimidating, rude and horrible. I was not in the best place emotionally and this was hard to take. We went to support our gay friends but won't go again. The wait staff on the other hand were lovely. Food was ok.

Phenomenal vibes. The host - Amelia? - was SO lovely and charming, just an absolute hoot

La entrada rechazada debido a que se le dijo la última entrada ya había sucedido, que está más que bien y estaba feliz de volver a casa. Sin embargo soy nuevo en el área y cuando pregunto a qué hora fue la última entrada del guardia de seguridad Kay se puso muy agresivo conmigo decir "¿por qué iba a decirte eso?" "Es entonces su palabra contra la mía" Como un lugar LGBT amistoso que realmente deben asegurarse de que son de seguridad son amigables con los jóvenes LGBT nuevos en el área.

The guy with the clipboard at the door was extremely rude to us for no reason, making up excuses to not let us in…. Before entering the queue I asked one of the security guards if we are allowed to finish our canned drinks while waiting in the queue. She said that we had to drink outside of the queue, I said okay, and then we were also told to step a few feet away from the club, and we immediately did so. A few minutes later we returned to the queue and the clipboard guy did not let us in because apparently my friends and I were “disrespectful”? I told him that we followed the instructions of the security guards, but he lied and said that we were aggressive and didn’t listen???? We were all completely sober and respectful at all times. This is ridiculous, very disappointed 🙁

Super fun brunch, thanks to the drag queens for making it so special!!

He estado en Dalston superstore antes y tuve una gran noche de fiesta. Esta vez entré con mis amigas gay (la última vez eran hombres) y nos rechazaron en la puerta, ya que, cuando nos preguntaron, si dijimos que conocíamos a alguien dentro (vivimos en Dalston, sabíamos que algunos de nuestros vecinos estaban dentro). Luego le informó al hombre de la puerta que no íbamos a entrar ya que teníamos un grupo dentro (?? ). No deseo alegar homofobia, sin embargo, había muchos hombres gay que habían sido dejados en la cola que no habían tenido que hablar con el guardia de seguridad antes de unirse a la cola y cabe señalar que habíamos tomado una copa antes (por lo que la borrachera no era un problema). Me siento completamente decepcionado por el personal de Dalston superstore y no recomendaría este club / bar a ninguna de mis amigas gays femeninas, ya que no son bienvenidos aquí.

club gay divertido, zona de bar de arriba es lindo. en general la zona no es grande. club de abajo está bien, pero la música es mejor en el bar de arriba. las bebidas son buenas

Nice place. Especially Daniel as welfare support was super helpful and kind

I only popped in for an hour before they closed the drag brunch but it will be one of the highlights of my trip! A much needed friendly, hilarious queer space. Lots of love from Aotearoa NZ 💚🏳️‍🌈

No coat check on week nights is lazy. It's been cold this week.

As soon as we arrived they asked us if we were queer and then gave us a lecture about how to behave in a club which was incredibly patronising. Then security started picking on my boyfriend saying he was too drunk for no reason whatsoever because he wasn’t even drunk! The whole process was super unnecessary and just made us feel uncomfortable - won’t be coming back and recommend you save your time and don’t go either.

I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately the Security at the door was extremely unprofessional. This venue is not inclusive.

The guy on the door with the clipboard was incredibly rude to us. This is not an inclusive space. Had a great night at the jazz club instead.

Very good staff and food and drink lots of it nice people Very good place to go out for a night Jason London Mitcham Surrey England

me and my friends are members of the lgbtqia+ community and weren’t allowed access to the club because some random on the door assumed we were straight… someone on the door aggressively asked us ‘what day is it today?’ and we answered ‘saturday night’ because we thought we were being quizzed to check whether were sober or not. the desired answer was that it’s trans pride, which our group actually knew but the question was asked so aggressively that we were totally thrown off. to be honest it feels so horrendous and upsetting to be an lgbtqia+ person expecting to go on a night out in a safe inclusive space and be rejected because someone on the door thinks youre just a straight person taking up space. defo will not be coming back here, you are not the berghain you think you are lmfao if you want to be an inclusive venue, you’re achieving the opposite.

What a place. This is THE place to be for young queers in London on a night out. Keep it up and thank you 🙏 I love you

Cute n friendly stuff, it was very Sunny rain covered the shop bit tricky to find but I’m glad I found it ☺️

Cool party. Cool People. Great music. Great venue. Everyone was nice including staff and guests. Drag queens were dancing the entire night! No place to chill. Smoking area was crowded as hell. Had a great night.

They have a new stupid policy. If you're a group bigger than 4 just pretend you are not together or they'll kick you out. Silly I know... They're thick. Not sure what goes on in their mind and how this makes sense, but be aware and pretend! We live in silly times! ;)

Door staff need reminding about what their responsibilities actually are... It's not their responsibility to make people do catwalks to decide who is 'cool enough' to enter the queue (see video 1). Instead, it is their responsibility is to provide adequate first aid. That doesn't involve, when someone is collapsed, propping them up in splits with all their weight resting through their neck (see video 2). Glad you managed to sell her every drink you could though... Message for the managers; remind your door staff it is a condition of their SIA licensed status to wear the licence where the front can be seen at all times when engaging in the licensable activity. Equally, employing someone to do those activities who isn't licensed is an equally reportable offence. Shape up because it's being watched.

Expensive drinks and long queues

Lovely place for a drag brunch. Great food, drinks and most of all queens!

Awful club. DO NOT GO. I was in the queue, security took my drink from my hands (rude) and on top of that they didn't let us in because it was late.

Horrible experience every time I go there, the person at the front door is horrible bad vibes. Do not recommend going. Worst place!!!

Horrific bar, we saw rats 🐀 running through the downstairs and they weren’t the miserable door staff. I’m shocked how this place has a licence to produce food and even more the structure of the building feels like it’s about to crumble. I’d avoid it as I feel like it’s highly likely to be the origin of the next plague!

Tho the ever-extendable acronym makes me cautious, sometimes I call in here in the daytimes. The beer seems well kept and the place bright and airy. Food was fine on the one time I tried it also.

Solía disfrutar de este club, pero no volveré después de esta noche. Al llegar el portero nos preguntó si sabíamos que era una noche queer (todos somos queer) nos pareció raro pero dijo que sí y que nuestros amigos ya estaban dentro. Luego dijo que si conocíamos a la gente dentro, era un grupo demasiado grande, y que tendría que preguntar a la dirección si 4 de nosotros podíamos entrar... nos dejaron entrar después de un tiempo, pero comenzó la noche con mal pie. Dentro fui al bar a buscar agua y el camarero estaba bajando vasos al lado de las jarras de agua, tomé uno y luego me di cuenta de que no había agua en las jarras. El camarero entonces me miró con juzgamiento y me dijo “obviamente son vasos sucios”, yo estaba confundido y sorprendido de lo groseros que eran y lo que decían así que solo los miré y repitieron “claramente son vasos sucios” en el tono más grosero. No me ofrecieron un vaso limpio, ni agua dulce, ni nada hospitalario solo trataron de humillarme, y cuando me alejé simplemente me miraron como si fuera un idiota. No siento que este lugar sea muy cálido o acogedor y no he tenido una experiencia hostil como esa antes en un club realmente . . hay muchos más clubes gay cálidos y discretos en LDN que no puedo molestarme en volver allí, grosero y poco acogedor ¿Incluso después de salir del lugar el portero vino por la calle y dijo que estábamos demasiado cerca del club? ¿Tienes mejores cosas que hacer y luego molestas a la gente que espera un taxi?

Another ‘queer’ space that is unwelcoming to fem presenting queer women. Such a shame as I’ve really wanted to enjoy Superstore but have been made to feel unaccepted every time I’ve visited for events.. Not too bad as a bar though. Queer spaces need to work on accepting ‘straight looking’ women

2 black women, one assaulted by a customer another by security and a disgusting manager who basically told us to get over it. Will never be back. This is the worst night out I’ve ever experienced in Dalston.

My siblings and I went to have some brunch and a couple of drinks. We had fun and food was okey, except for a very rude bartender that treated us very bad, talking to us un respectfully, but that’s not a prob because we are open minded even with “divas” 🫶🏼🏳️‍🌈

Very rude blonde guy at the door. Not coming back.

Would not recommend this night out to anyone.

Just needs more seating. But besides that great vibe and top tunes.

Amazing drag performance with funny hosts. Peter was gorgeous and wonderful and made my day. Food was also very yum

Very rude bouncers… wouldn’t let a group of 4+ go in …

The bouncers are incredibly rude. They started accusing me and belittleing me because I asked why I was not being let in with 4 other friends saying that we were a big group. I sad I am ok and I’m being accepting of that and i can wait. They kept saying to me that I was arguing with them while I was not at all and I just asked a question. This behaviour just ruined my night. Really disappointing and hurtful.

Alit if fun, nice party crowd, everyone up for good times :)

Sunday brunch was delightful! Tasty breakfast, though French toast portions were small, but tasty. Enjoyed great company with friends.

-Door staff and bar staff were incredibly accommodating of my disability, I don’t think I’ve ever been in such a welcoming establishment, the music and atmosphere was 10/10, can’t recommend enough, thank you for making my friday night!!!

Really disappointed with the experience here. Tried to get in with as a group of queer people, we were turned away for “fire safety reasons”, even though it was clear the venue could handle more. It felt like they were just using that as an excuse because we didn’t look ‘queer enough’ for them. It’s upsetting and not at all what you’d expect from a place that’s supposed to be welcoming to all queer people. We need spaces that respect and celebrate everyone in the community, not gatekeep based on looks. This isn’t acceptable. We are QUEER.

Refused entry to us for no reason, while allowing others. We are a friendly, diverse group of people. They seem like a prejudicial venue

came here without any expectations, therefore were surprised to find no supermarket behind the colorful door (but more than happy to see a friendly LGBTITTY+ queer bar unfold itself behind the glass). order your PORNstar, cowgirl, LUSTY benny or your earl gay from the sweet staff behind the counter and as you wait to be served your alcoholic bevarge, you can marvel at the vibrant and kinky posters presented on the white BRICK wall. medical advice/ trigger warning: if you suffer from epilepsy, this place might be difficult to handle for you since the ceiling is jam packed with glittery discoBALLS and blinking lightbulbs. not HARD to find, directly on the main STRIP to DOWNTOWN dalston. unwind, unlock, unLOAD and join for a DIRTY RIDE on this boat.

Super friendly, super queer. Great vibes. Unfortunately tonight (a Thursday) was bit of a super young (18-21) crowd, not that there was anything annoying with them, I just felt like the old monster on the hill by comparison. But apparently weekends are better for late 20s/early 30s people. Will have to go back on a Friday/Saturday.

Amazing night with friends, beautiful people, a wonderful bars team, feeling safe and having lots of fun time, amazing music 🎶

Cute, friendly and unique space 🌈

Best vegan breakfast everrr, and the show was amazing. Such a fun vibe 💖

Not allowed in because they were having a "Latin night and anticipate many people coming in specifically for this music" to a group with mostly Latinos. Which another reviewer has mentioned was a lie. Would always understand if you felt the people were unsafe but there was no way our group have that vibe. We just didn't fit the aesthetic -and gatekeeping queer spaces from queer people is just disheartening. Do better.

So many of the bad reviews here I have to question a bit - Superstore is one of my favorite spots in London, and they let in plenty of people who aren't over the top queer. When I've seen them turn away people who really just don't vibe right, they're always very kind about it. As a community, queer people deserve spaces to be free to exist - not objects for others to look at us. To this extent, Superstore has always been a place I've felt very comfy. My friends and I have had two bad nights in the last few months and welfare went over the top to check on us - the first time emailing us, and the second time finding us on the dance floor just to check we were okay. I wish that they had more than vibes to go on, and I understand - especially for newbies to the queer scene - the fear of having to vibe right is hard, but Superstore is _very_ inclusive for queer people, the few times I've seen people turned away, I had seriously bad vibes from them too. I've seen reviews saying they're ageist, but there was a 59 year old there this Friday night and she was _awesome_ and very wanted. She fit the vibe so well; and helped me find myself and my new name. Superstore is small, chaotic, and not a place for everyone by any means. But it's a place for us and our community, and the staff are friendly, kind, and always do their very best for the community. Don't be put off by the other reviews if you're looking to find yourself, and let yourself be free. Come with love, respect, and a desire to let go of everything. Especially on a Friday or Saturday night, the basement really is the basement of dreams.

Popped in to try the Gourmet vegan burger and have a few drinks. Disappointed with small burger portion size and no side salad or fries included. Would say it's not value for money at £11.50 price.

I was not allowed in despite being much more sober than those around me - I feel that by being on my own I was judged to not be allowed in despite my friends being inside by the bouncer to be drunk even though I asked him why this was the case and he was unable to give a reason. I queued for over half an hour to be told I was not allowed in despite having had two drinks prior to arriving at the venue and queuing for a very long time to try and meet my friends. I offered to prove my sobriety by any test including breathalyser and was rejected. I will not be trying to enter this venue whilst these security staff are on shift.

Came for drag Brunch on a Saturday and it was such a good vibe! Drag queen was super friendly and really funny. Service was friendly and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend

I love the space in theory, but last night was not the vibe. £12 cover, yikes it’s less to get into Heaven or pretty much any place in central. Music was initially fine, but very repetitive. Really in your face political too, which is fine as queer spaces are inherently political, but just not everyone’s vibe and worth knowing before going. Just not worth it overall, there are better options all over. I also have to echo comments about rude door staff. The pat down felt more invasive than any I’ve had in London too.

Very pleasant on a warm Wednesday evening. Sat by the large open windows and enjoyed a few Peroni. I'l moving to the area so I'll definitely pop by again.

Terrible club, staff not nice, they did not let my friend go in …he s 55 maybe he was too old but it s supposed to be an inclusive club …the way they talked to my friend saying go to see if you find another club was very humiliating. Never go there !!! Anti 50’s people !!! Terrible attitude !

They say it's inclusive but if you're gay and don't look queer you're not welcome. Worst experience ever in a gay bar. Go away

They say it's inclusive but if you're a gay who don't look queer you're not welcome

I paid 7 quid for a beer……that should tell you everything about this place, plus it is normally filled with pretentious, weird and badly dressed people in a horrible area and everyone looks like they’re on acid…….I’m a gay guy and even I feel that this place is too extra for no reason

Mad queer venue. Plenty of great chats in the smokers! And a great dance floor

Really enjoyed visiting the bar dressed, visited four times so far, found it a lovely place to relax with people I visit with; even had a nice visit on my own x

It’s a hard find: Brazilian food (Great quality too), vegan (but properly made), queer friendly, and fun. I love it. The exhibitions are also very nice. Sometimes I wish the music wasn’t as loud, so we could chat to friends too.

Worst experience of my stay in London. The bouncer tried to open my purse without even asking, then violently touched my whole body looking for who knows what. After all of that I didn’t even want to go inside so I just left.

I came here on a Thursday evening expecting to have a couple of drinks in a welcoming friendly bar but instead I was quizzed by the guy on the door who asked: 1) Did I know what event was on tonight; 2) Did I know much about the event that was on; 3) Had I been here before; 4) When had I been here before Having not expected to sit an exam at the door (!), I said I didn’t know to 1) and 2) but that I had been here before a few years ago. He then told me it was only open to ‘friends and family’ - whatever on earth that means - and suggested I go to another bar instead. I told him that I didn’t see anything on their website about this apparent ‘friends and family’ restriction and suggested that he wasn’t letting me in because he probably didn’t he like the look of me. So there you have it, if you’re a tourist or from out of town, or new to the scene, best not to come as that probably doesn’t qualify you as ‘friends and family’ and therefore denied entry.

We spent around 5:00 p.m., which is generally closed in the area, and they took great care of us. Incredibly beautiful, the attention, the atmosphere and the excellent vegan dishes. we will definitely be back 🫰🏻

Beautiful bar, very good vegan food especially Brazilian cheese balls and nice ambient. Definitely we will come back : : )

This place is superb! Queer dance party heaven 💖

Wasn't a fan of the drag show, could have been better but the place itself was great. The decorations and music were nice , the waitress were very kind and attentive, and most importantly the food was very good.

We went for the Drag brunch and it was really fun!

"I was feeling excited and decided to check out this place online, only to find it was open. Excitedly, I went there with a friend at 7 pm to enjoy some delightful treats 🍯. However, upon arrival, we were informed that it had been booked for a private party until 9 pm, and we were required to pay for entry 😪. It was quite disheartening to see such disorganization. It would have been helpful if they had clarified this information on Google or their website beforehand, so we wouldn't have been caught off guard 🤯. I cannot say I recommend this place after this experience."

Was recommended to go here by a londoner I met at E1 while I was seeing chippy nonstop. Came on a tuesday with my girlfriend. Bartender was fashionable and fab and very nice in a chic way. Yummy aperol spritz. Funny advertisement-like photography on walls. Will be coming back.

Dalston superstore is the queer haven of London, any night you go you'll be welcome and feel at home, music is always on point

as all those other reviews already say: staff is extremely rude and entitled. not even in berlin they have to act so pretentious. very disappointing and not inclusive at all.

We were touristing London and found the bar online. The bar has a really nice atmosphere and super friendly staff! But of course it was the two queens that hosted the drag show (free booking!) who stole the show. It's a truly remarkable bar, a safe space for all lgbtq, and we felt really welcome. Best moments: when Karma climbed the "stage" and the beginning of Inga Rock's singing career:-)

We went for the Drag brunch and it was really fun! The avocado toast was surprisingly good and truly enjoyed their Mezcal Margarita too.

I came here with a couple of friends, at the door a member of staff stopped us informing us that they were the “vibe checker”. They were immediately condescending in tone whilst asking questions such as “had we been there before” etc. They then asked if we knew what the night was that night, which we didn’t, and they said “well it’s a Latinx event and you would know that if you’d bothered to research”. We were a little shocked by the rudeness of the remark and the expectation that you would have to research before simply going to enjoy yourself on a queer night out (an expectation that would never be assumed of cis-het people in cis-het spaces). They then asked for a bit more information about us, so I said “well we are all queer if that’s what you’re asking” to which they replied “fine I’ll take a leap of faith and let you in”. Queer spaces are far and few between and sacred, there are not many places in this world that we can express ourselves freely so to have what we anticipated to be an open and welcoming evening be transformed by this queer gatekeeping was saddening to say the least. We walked into this space feeling anything but welcomed and deeply uncomfortable. We also noticed there were virtually no Latinx people and nothing about this event that went out of its way to celebrate any part of Latinx culture, so this all felt entirely performative. If you want to create a space for Latinx queer folk to be able to commune together, then you need to actually reach out to the Latinx community etc. In all we found this space to fetishise a preconceived notion of ‘queer aesthetic’ rather than being a supportive and inclusive space for real, human queer folk.

Horrid security, do avoid. I was trying to enter with previously bought tickets and wasn't let it. The reason? One of the girls from the group (loosely put, she was just there for a meet up predrinks, not someone I know at all) had some substances on her that I didn't know about and had no intention of consuming. I politely asked the security member for a refund for my ticket, offered them my bag to confirm that I had nothing on me and the male security guard very rudely informed me that I will be deported because drugs are illegal in the UK (just because I don't speak in English accent). Manager was much nicer, but I had to insist to speak to them for solid 15 minutes. Let's see whether they end up refunding me.

A sick and sexy atmosphere at 12 in the afternoon ;) the staff and queen were lovely and tried to get to know all at a personal level and not be robots. The staff was honest with wait times but the food was worth it. The performance was not as frequent with half hour breaks between, so in an hour and a half sitting we heard 3 songs, but again, with no reservation charge and good food, it was fab.

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE. Avoid at all costs! The staff discriminates people based on the skin colour. Some of the staff is so rude and aggressive as if they recently came out from the jungle or zoo.

Rudest place and unfriendliest staff ever in London (black woman at the door profiling people based on their appearance, with a clear intention to discriminate). Please be careful for your own safety. DO NOT GO HERE if you don't want to have an unpleasant experience.
