Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes

About

Our flagship venue, launched in 2001. Its name derives from the 1980’s bag and shoe wholesalers that once occupied our building, whose signage still adorns the shop front. In a time before bars and art galleries, this was the primary industry in Shoreditch and this venue (one of the areas first) defined this now prolific class of arts venue and this area of London. Combining arts and lifestyle and creativity within a rough around the edges, architecturally honest environment, DreamBags JaguarShoes provided the template for this now abundant breed of drinking establishment. Our ground floor area is a light and spacious room with high ceilings, sky lights and large glass shop frontage. The basement bar is a cosy candle lit, raw brick hideout. As such, it is a versatile venue, that plays host any kind of event; club nights, live music performances, lectures, workshops, fashion shows, castings, Sunday markets and art fairs.
