About Lakota

Moon ‌​‌​‍Club is a 200-capacity underground club and events venue in Bristol, opened September 2025 by the team behind the legendary Lakota. It occupies part of the Stokes Croft Brewery Building in St Pauls/Stokes Croft (6 Upper York Street, BS2 8QN), the same space Lakota has called home for over three decades, but operates as a fully independent room with its own identity, named after the legendary venue that once occupied the site. Purpose-built for high-energy club nights, private events and creative takeovers, it features a 360-degree L-Acoustics sound system and reactive lighting, focused on house, techno, drum and bass, hip hop and the wider underground electronic spectrum. September 2026 brings Harmonia (16th), Klub Kaos (17th) and BCKSPIN 001 with DJ Perception and Wodda (24th).
