Lakota is a long-running nightclub off Stokes Croft in Bristol, housed in the only surviving building of the historic Stokes Croft Brewery and considered a local landmark within the Stokes Croft Conservation Area. Opened in June 1992 during the heyday of the rave scene, it grew into one of the most famous clubs in the country outside London and helped establish Bristol as a centre of UK club culture. Over three decades the venue has hosted a roll-call of superstar DJs -- Carl Cox, Sasha, John Digweed, Roger Sanchez and Paul Oakenfold among them -- alongside Bristol talents such as Roni Size, Goldie and Eats Everything, across a broad sweep of dance genres. It survived 2020 plans to convert the site into flats and kept going through the pandemic via its outdoor Lakota Gardens, and its three individual spaces are also available for hire. A self-described black-owned underground venue with a rebellious past, it remains a fixture of the Stokes Croft area just north of Bristol city centre.
