Trapeze: Pub in Hackney, London

Trapeze Bar is a late-night room in Shoreditch built around black music. Expect R&B, hip-hop, Afrobeats and bashment, the sounds that keep a dancefloor moving from the first track to the last. Most of the programming leans towards the weekend. These are nights for dancing rather than sitting back with a drink and watching the room. Come with a group, arrive ready to move, and let the DJ set the pace. It suits people who know how a night out works in East London and want the music to lead. The crowd tends to come for the sound and stay for the dancing. If you like your nights loud, late and a bit unpredictable, this is the kind of place locals send their friends to.
