Ridley Road Market Bar is a Dalston bar and late-night dance spot at 49 Ridley Road. Inside, tropical kitsch decor and a glittering disco ball set the scene for DJs playing everything from disco and soul to garage, DNB and rockabilly. Cocktails include Gin & Blood Orange and frozen slushies; Slice Girls pizza is another option on busy nights. Weekends can get crowded, so try a weekday if you want more room to dance or a shorter wait at the bar.
Music and the dance floor
The DJ booth is at the back, with the dance floor beneath a glittering disco ball. Music spans styles including dance, disco, DNB, euro-pop, garage, rockabilly, reggae, Motown and soul, so the sound can change over the course of a night.
A tropical, kitsch interior
Bright colours and tropical decor give the bar a deliberately playful look. The space has a dance floor and a separate chill-out room, making it possible to step away from the music for a quieter break.
