BOOTERS TURNS ONE YEAR OLD THIS JULY!!
We're marking to occasion with a big birthday barbecue at The Wing And A Prayer pub right after Trans Pride, so we can get all the beautiful butches, dykes and trans community all fed between marching and partying <3 We've also heard some extra-special guest from our NYC debut are going to be in town, so they might be stopping by to show you if everything really is bigger in America…
Check out our Instagram with all the important info for the night, including photos for accessibility and for the vibes/line-up as they're announced: @bootersbutchbar
WHAT TO EXPECT
Unlike our usual events, this is not a sit-down dining experience with set dining times. Instead we'll be having more of a birthday party vibe, with freshly-barbecued burgers and all kinds of cake xx
We'll have some of our butch/stud servers on the mic to show you a bit more of their personalities, plus some audience interaction games to get some of the iconic Booters experiences our regulars know and love - think lots of whipped cream!
PAY IT FORWARD/ LOW-INCOME TICKETS
As always, we want this community space to be available to butches and trans people even if they can't pay for a meal out. So we have a pay-it-forward scheme for anyone who wants to subsidise a meal for a butch, stud or trans person on no/low income. We will be making these £7 meal options available a few days after standard tickets go on sale, to give time for people to make pay-it-forward contributions - keep an eye on our Instagram for details on this.
We will also be welcoming d¥kes who don't want a full meal to hang out in the bar and catch the performances/ vibes that way, plus a slice of our birthday cake :) please message us if you are a butch/stud/trans+ and the £5 contribution is a barrier!
DIETARY NEEDS/ ALLERGIES FORM
To let our chef Paz know about any allergies/ dietary requirements, there will be an option to tell us when checking out. If you have any issues or forget to tell us, please dm us on Instagram.
BOOTER BUCKS
The servers will be paid for their work, but tips are always appreciated! You can buy “Booter Bucks” on the door or at your table at the start of the night, and we will give you paper “cash” equivalent to the amount you buy so you can chose who your Booter Bucks go to. Bucks are £1 each with a 2p machine charge if paying by card.
Booter Bucks are 100% tips that go directly to the server you hand your dollar to :)
ACCESSIBILITY
The venue has a step-free entrance all night and is step-free throughout the event space inside. There is some additional seating downstairs but all of the action will be taking place on the ground floor, and we can guarantee level-access seating for those who need. There is a wheelchair-accessible gender neutral toilet on the ground floor - find more info including photos on our Instagram: @bootersbutchbar
CONTENT NOTICE
The event may contain nudity and/or aspects of kink (depending on what our servers choose to do), please be aware of this when purchasing tickets. Any audience participation requires the clear consent of both servers and attendees involved.
MERCHANDISE
We have merchandise! You can buy your very own Booters tees as seen on our servers, in two colour options. We even have a new line of hats and mugs - just scroll down to “Add-ons” below :) We also ship worldwide!
TRAVELLING FROM LONDON TRANS+ PRIDE
Buses in central London will likely be disrupted/slow by the march, so the fastest route will likely be getting the Circle line to Liverpool Street and then the Weaver line to Hackney Downs or Clapton. These stations both have steps from platform to street, so a step-free alternative is to take the Jubilee to Stratford and then the Mildmay line to Hackney Central. The Hackney stations mentioned are all a 10-15 minute walk from the venue, or there are bus routes between the stations and the Wing & A Prayer. Make sure to check Citymapper, Google Maps, etc on the day to confirm that there won't be disruptions!
