Afrobeats Heartbeat in Southeast London

Open primarily Thursday through Sunday, it transforms into a nightlife hub from evening until dawn, with doors typically swinging from 9pm or 10pm until 5am. The spacious interior accommodates up to 200 guests, ensuring room for uninhibited dancing rather than mere posing.

Culinary and Mixology Fusion

Beyond the beats, CQ Lounge delights with Afro-Caribbean dishes that complement the musical vibe, alongside shisha lounging and a selection of cocktails, beers, wines, and hard liquors. Bartenders craft refreshing drinks in a private bar setup, enhancing celebrations whether for birthdays, corporate gatherings, or casual nights out. The menu emphasizes bold flavors, pairing seamlessly with the venue's energetic pulse. Food options range from bar bites to fuller plates, available for dine-in alongside the dancing.

Garden Oasis Amid the Party

CQ Lounge extends outdoors to a garden area, providing a breezy retreat for conversations between dance sets or quieter moments during events. This CQ Garden offers a contrast to the indoor intensity, with space for mingling under the stars while the music drifts through. It's particularly inviting on warmer nights, allowing guests to step out for fresh air without leaving the venue's orbit. The dual indoor-outdoor layout creates a complete social experience.

Versatile Space for Every Occasion

By day or early evening, CQ Lounge shines as an event venue, ideal for bridal showers, baby showers, wedding receptions, product launches, Christmas parties, or photoshoots. Private hires are available Monday through Thursday and Sunday, with weekends transitioning to nightclub mode after 10pm. Capacity reaches 200 standing, with customizable layouts, in-house catering, and sound equipment. The alcohol license stretches to 5am on peak nights, extendable for special needs.

Cultural Community Hub

Rooted in Charlton's diverse cultural tapestry, CQ Lounge fosters a sense of community through themed nights like Ladies Night, Sunday Service, or after-parties for major concerts. Events such as Lifestyle Saturdays or Games & Chill Thursdays add variety, blending music genres with interactive vibes. No-smoking indoors and strict no-drugs policies maintain a safe, professional environment. Free street parking nearby eases access in this residential-adjacent spot.

Nightlife Rhythm and Rules

The lounge enforces age policies—under 18s not allowed after 10pm—and requires ID for entry on busy nights. Last entry often cuts off at 2:30am or 3am to keep the energy focused. With live performances and a trendy atmosphere, it caters to groups seeking authentic musical immersion in south east London, away from central crowds.
