ABOUT

Café 1001 is a combined Café and Club intrinsic to the Brick Lane area and a focal point for most. We put acts on every night in two rooms ranging from unsigned indie-rock bands and nu-jazz collectives on weekdays to drum & bass, techno and house DJs on the weekends. We operate a free entry policy which means that 90% of our acts are open to the public free of charge. All rental options includes bar staff, security and cleaning. We have a top of the range Funktion One sound system, as well as staging and the ability to put on live music events.

With outdoor seating on the pedestrianised Dray Walk, there is always plenty of people-watching to be had!
