Power Lunches

The café opened in 2011 and closed in 2015.^[1][2][3] It started out with gigs planned to be only at weekends, but later became a prominent feature of Hackney's DIY music scene with gigs most nights every week.^[1][4] Though originally genuinely also a café, it eventually stopped serving food.

The café hosted performances in its basement, the absolute maximum capacity of both floors was 150.^[1] These were most often concerts by local bands, but also saw acts from elsewhere in the UK, as well as further afield.

Staff of the venue hosted a radio show showcasing the type of music made by bands to appear there on NTS Radio between 2012 and 2015.^[5]
