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.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
District is a reservable bar-restaurant rather than a selective club. Friday/Saturday You Are the DJ and midnight traffic fill seats; reserve or arrive before the programme if table service matters. It opens daily at 15:00.
Best night
Friday and Saturday let guests control the video soundtrack from a library exceeding 100,000 songs. Earlier weekdays are better for cocktails, food and conversation; choose a listed community event when meeting people is the priority.
Locals vs visitors
Gay men, mixed LGBTQ+ groups, Village regulars, tourists and dinner-to-drinks parties share a polished but social room. User-controlled music makes the weekend audience participatory rather than focused on one DJ subculture.
Dress code in practice
Casual-to-polished barwear works; no dress gate is published. Dress for table seating that may become standing and dancing later. A charged phone is useful because song requests run through the mobile interface.
Staff inclusion
The venue gives guests a direct role through accessible mobile song requests and takes reservations for lower-friction seating. It operates inside the Gay Village but publishes no specialist trans policy; service issues belong with the floor manager.
