LL genuinely lets you show up as yourself: casual jeans, glitter, drag-inspired looks and Saturday-afternoon clothes all fit. There is no VIP look to crack; make your outfit comfortable enough for standing, singing and dancing through a show.

Staff inclusion

LL makes an unusually direct promise that every kind of person belongs there, and backs it with a daily drag programme that celebrates visible queer expression. Staff manage paid entry with a drink included, not a selective list. That open-door stance is strong, although the site does not spell out a separate transphob
