The Rising

SE1's only queer Pub, with live events, Wednesday quizzes and drag shows every Friday & Saturday.​

Open to all (dogs included), with zero judgement.

We are proudly plant based and nut-free.

​The Rising has been proudly serving the local community since 1936 and we're here to continue that heritage. We set out to create a queer safe space right in the heart of Elephant and Castle to counter the loss of LGBTQ+venues.

Whether it's your 1st visit or 100th, a warm welcome awaits you at The Rising.
