QUEER EDGE VENUES
TWO MORE YEARS
QUEER EDGE IS HOMED AT TWO MORE YEARS, WITH A RIVERSIDE PONTOON AND A LARGE BAR & RESTAURANT. HOME OF OUR FIRST PARTIES, AND HOME OF QE WORK, LONDON’S FIRST/ONLY QUEER CO-WORKING SPACE.
QUEERE EDGE HAS SINCE GROWN INTO OTHER VENUES, SUCH AS QE LATE AT NUMBER 90 BAR, QE LIVE AT NICO’S COCKTAIL BAR, AND QE TALK AT INIS RESTAURANT.
WTHE WAREHOUSES OF BERLIN AND EAST LONDON WERE A SOURCE OF VISUAL INSPIRATION, SO WE SEEKED VENUES THAT MET OUR AESTHETIC VISION, ALL IN HACKNEY WICK, ALL RIVERSIDE.
WHO WE ARE
MEET THE TEAM
FOUNDER
EMMA-JANE NUTBROWN
FOUNDER OF THAT'S THE TICKET - A MARKETING AGENCY SPECIALISING IN MARKETING FUN - AND FRUSTRATED THAT GAY VENUES TEND TO BE SO SEGREGATED, EJ HAD THE BRANDING SKILLS NEEDED TO START QUEER EDGE WITH A VISION TO CREATE AN ALL-INCLUSIVE SAFE SPACE FOR HUMANS THAT LOVE HUMANS, IRRESPECTIVE OF GENDER!
WE HAVE LISTENED TO THE ENDLESS FEEDBACK "CAN WE STAY OPEN LATER". WE'D LIKE TO RETAIN THE ATMOSPHERE CREATED FOR THE MANY THAT WANT TO GO HOME AT MIDNIGHT, SO QUEER EDGE REMAINS AT TWO MORE YEARS FOR THE REGULAR PARTIES, BUT ONCE A QUARTER, QUEER EDGE LATE IS GOING TO HAPPEN AT NO.90 BAR, NEAR HACKNEY WICK STATION, OPEN UNTIL 4AM.
WE HAVE SELECTED ANOTHER CONVERTED RIVER-SIDE WAREHOUSE, TO MAINTAIN THE VISION AND AMBIENCE OF ALL OF OUR QUEER EDGE PARTIES. INSIDE IS KITTED OUT WITH A HAND-CRAFTED WOODEN DECOR WITH OUR INFAMOUS LARGE DISCO BALL, WHILST THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL TERRACE ON THE CANAL OUTSIDE.
NO.90 WAS AWARDED THE "BEST LOCAL BUSINESS" AT 2014'S MAYOR OF HACKNEY'S BUSINESS AWARDS, AND TIME OUTS LOVE LONDON AWARDS
