About Colours

Colours is a bar, live-music space and late-night venue on Hoxton Square. It is not a dedicated LGBTQ+ bar, but its varied programme and East London crowd regularly make room for queer artists, promoters and audiences. The venue changes character according to the bill: one night might centre on an emerging live act, another on DJs, cabaret, comedy or a themed club party. That makes it better approached as an events venue than as somewhere with the same atmosphere every evening. The bar provides a social front room, while the performance space carries most of the energy later on. Check the programme before travelling and choose an event that suits you. For LGBTQ+ visitors exploring Hoxton and Shoreditch, Colours can be a useful addition when a queer night or artist is on the schedule.

What to expect

Expect a mixed, creative East London crowd and an atmosphere shaped by the night's event, from intimate gigs to busy club sessions.

Went to a gig here, so only commenting on that. The venue is nice and small, with the stage at a good height so you get a decent view from most points. Sound mix was good, and the lighting is more extensive that most venues this size, which is nice. There was some confusion at the queuing situation, so it would be good if there were more staff to sort that out.

We hired our staff social here for over 200 guests. The offering and service was all top quality, bar staff friendly and personable, the events team are responsive and accomodating. Would hilighy recommending using the veunue due to its mulitle rooms catering for a large audiance! Would hire and work with them again!

Amazing venue from start to finish. The security guy, Cullen is super welcoming. Cocktails are well crafted and not that expensive for London prices. Food was tasty. Definitely recommend

A wonderful experience - I'd recommend going to see the Caberet Sauvignon drag and burlesque show run by Dolly Trolley. The bar staff are lovely, they do pretty good food if you're hungry after the show, and overall a wonderful night out.

I've been here for events and had a nice time. The drinks are steep but that is also the case for literally every single place in London. The dance floor is nice and the sound system is well set up. Also appreciate the photo booth there. It's a nice venue for smaller events
