Dalston Superstore

Get past the bouncers to discover what’s going on under wraps at Dalston Superstore, Kingsland High Street’s East Village-inspired club & bar. A massive coup was bringing Mylo out of exile for a series of secret nights; DSS is full of surprises. The bar itself, a long slim industrial space in concrete & steel, opens daily from breakfast to beer o’clock & beyond. Surprisingly good food – cakes, steak sandwiches, burgers, goats’ cheese salads & the like – is on the menu, though Dalston’s skinny fashion mavens (male & female) are more interested in the cheap booze: bottled beers, flavoured shots & passable, basic cocktails. Big nights (Trailertrash, Disco Bloodbath among others) bring in a hedonistic contingent of beautiful people, gay & straight, all squeezing on to an inch of poky basement dancefloor.
