About this place Bethnal Green Working Men's Club

Bethnal Green Working Men's Club, on Pollard Row just off Bethnal Green Road, still looks like an old working men's club, with a stage, carpet and a cheap bar. Its events, run under the Workers Playtime name, are mostly queer: cabaret, drag, burlesque and club nights such as SlayStation and SLAP!, and the club describes itself as a queer venue. It opens Wednesday to Saturday from about 19:30, until 02:00 on Friday and Saturday. What's on changes completely from night to night and some nights sell out, so check the listings and buy ahead.

awful communication. I have tried to book to hire the venue which is clearly listed on their site. I've counted 20 calls to which they did not pick even whilst open. multiple emails and messages on instagram. I even went there to give my name and email to the person at the door who said they would get back to me. do not bother phoning, it does not work. customer service is poor
