What makes The Queenshilling special
The Queenshilling has many regulars who describe it as a second home, and it is praised for friendly staff and fair prices. The programme mixes pub nights, drag and DJ nights. However, several reviews from autumn 2025 report harassment and an inadequate response from staff.
A good fit if you …
- want to see drag shows
- are looking for a long-standing scene venue
Not ideal if you …
- care a lot about safety in clubs and don’t want to check recent reviews
