About this place The Divine

The Divine is a queer cabaret bar on Stoke Newington Road in Dalston, opened on 2 February 2024 by Jonny Woo and John Sizzle, the team behind The Glory in Haggerston, which closed the month before. Time Out, Attitude and QX all list it. The programme is drag, cabaret, comedy and club nights, with fundraisers and themed shows such as a Hunger Games-inspired cabaret. Dalston Superstore and VFD are a short walk away. Check the listings before you go, since many nights are ticketed through OutSavvy.

Food, I dont know, didn't see any. But the bar crew is very kind, and in general it's a lovely place, where any gender is welcome.

The smoking area guard thinks he is GOD. Great place to go if you can’t go to superstore and don’t smoke.
