The Divine is one of East London’s most exciting LGBTQ+ venues, combining a lively queer bar, performance venue, drag hotspot, and late-night club in the heart of Dalston. Opened by the team behind the legendary The Glory, The Divine continues the tradition of championing alternative queer culture, creativity, and nightlife while providing an inclusive space where everyone is welcome.
Proudly owned by celebrated London drag icons Jonny Woo and John Sizzle, alongside nightlife pioneer Colin Rothbart, The Divine has quickly established itself as a leading destination for cutting-edge drag, cabaret, live music, comedy, theatre, club nights, and community events. The venue’s purpose-built performance space hosts an ever-changing programme featuring emerging artists, established performers, experimental shows, spoken word, and internationally acclaimed LGBTQ+ talent.
By day and early evening, guests can enjoy expertly crafted cocktails, beers, wines, and spirits in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere before the venue transforms into one of Dalston’s liveliest late-night destinations with DJs, themed parties, and packed dance floors. The Divine also regularly hosts fundraisers, cultural events, workshops, and community initiatives that celebrate London’s diverse queer community.
With its creative energy, inclusive spirit, outstanding entertainment, and reputation for showcasing some of the UK’s most exciting LGBTQ+ performers, The Divine has become an essential destination for anyone looking to experience East London’s vibrant queer nightlife.
