10/06/16: Once you make it past the (that night rather dishy) bouncer and the friendly welcome of Zia, in charge of the door, Homo Superior, at the Moustache Bar in Stoke Newington/Dalston is probably not quite what its name would let you expect.
Rather than a roomful of topless sweaty musclemen or supercilious beardy hipsters, the intimate basement bar is actually a relaxed little den, perfect for a drink and a boogie with friends, a self-styled “home away from home for disco queens, rock chicks and indie gays.”
A party was there celebrating someone’s birthday while others were on a date. At the decks were Panos Z and guest DJ Laurence del Rey who played a selection of works by artists either queer themselves or favoured by our community, in a wide range of genres, from punk to indie or even disco.
The order of the night was definitely low key alternative, a perfect way to relax.
