About this venue
If you want a spot where you’re literally the VJ of your own night, District Vidéo Lounge is your new home base. Located in the heart of the Village, this "supper-club" style lounge is famous for its massive video-on-demand library (we're talking 85,000+ clips!) that you can request right from your phone. It’s ultra-chic, sociable, and has that perfect blend of "chilling with a cocktail" and "dancing like nobody's watching".

If you want a seat at the bar, try to arrive before the late-night rush.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
District Video Lounge gets properly busy once its main crowd arrives. Entry is usually simpler before the late peak; after that, allow extra time for the door and bar.
Best night
District Video Lounge works best as a late-evening launch pad or post-club stop. Friday and Saturday give its compact room the most energy; go earlier if you want to take in the place itself.
Locals vs visitors
Expect a broadly queer crowd at District Video Lounge. The mix changes with the hour and programme, so an early visit can feel very different from the late-night room.
Dress code in practice
District Video Lounge is a relaxed, alternative room: everyday clothes and an expressive queer look both fit better than polished dress-up.
Staff inclusion
District Video Lounge's queer identity is built into the room or programme, so LGBTQ+ guests are the intended community rather than an afterthought.
