The Queer Latin Space You Didn't Know You Needed
You’re not just going out — you’re coming home. Whether you're new, returning, or thought Exilio had ended, it’s still here, still glowing, still loud. Salsa, reggaetón, guaracha, and cumbia flow all night. Meet new faces, find old friends, feel your roots — or borrow ours for the night. A warm welcome, a 30-year legacy, and one unforgettable dancefloor.
✨ 1. A Home Away From Home
Whether you’re Latinx or just love the music, you’ll walk into warmth, not a wall. It’s the energy of familia, of drag queens who make you feel seen, of dancefloors where nobody feels like a stranger.
✨ 30 Years of Queer Joy
This isn’t just a party. It’s a legacy. If you haven’t been in a while, surprise — we never left. Same beats, new faces, same feeling: safe, loud, tropical nights where you're free to be you.
✨ Not Just Reggaetón. Real Variety.
Forget the copy-paste music you hear everywhere else. This is where salsa, bachata, cumbia, guaracha, and Latin pop come alive — in one room, one night, one big sweaty celebration of all our rhythms.
✨ Connection That Lasts All Night
You didn’t come just to drink. You came to feel. To flirt. To cry-laugh with strangers. To remember who you are under strobe lights and sweaty hugs. One night here, and you’ll want to come back.
✨ Inclusive, Without the Buzzwords
This isn’t just “diverse.” It’s real. Queer, trans, drag, masc, femme, Latino, ally — all respected, all welcome, all dancing. We don’t just say “safe space.” We live it, with music that reminds you you matter.

🌈 4. Created By & For the CommunityExilio was founded by a queer Latinx woman — and we’re still led with heart.

Inclusion isn’t our trend. It’s our base, our rhythm, our truth.
If you’re real, you’re already one of us.🌈 Creado por y para la comunidad
Exilio nace de una mujer latina queer, y sigue siendo liderado con amor y propósito.
Aquí todes tienen lugar: dragas, trans, allies, afrolatines, curiosos, exploradores.
Nuestro compromiso no es estético, es real: inclusión con música, no con marketing.
Si eres tú mism@, ya eres parte del Exilio.
🪩 Loved by Those Who Keep Coming BackWe hear it all the time: “It’s magic.”
Some guests have been coming for decades — and still feel the butterflies.
Others came alone, and left with new friends or chosen family.
We’re not just another party. We’re that place you return to.🪩 Amado por quienes vienen — y vuelvenReseñas que hablan de magia, música y comunidad real.
Asistentes que llevan años viniendo... ¡y aún se emocionan!
Gente que llegó por primera vez sola y se fue con una nueva familia.
No somos un lugar más: somos ese lugar al que siempre quieres volver.
💋 5. The Party That Gets YouWe know what it feels like to land in London and miss your roots.
To feel queer in a straight space. Latinx in a cold room. Alone in a crowd.
That’s why we created this:
A tropical, queer, musical embrace where you don’t have to explain yourself.💋 La fiesta que te entiendeSabemos lo que es llegar a Londres y extrañar tus raíces.
También lo que es ser queer y no tener un espacio donde te sientas tú.
Por eso creamos esto: un lugar donde lo tropical y lo libre bailan junt@s.
No es solo música. Es un idioma que entendemos sin tener que explicar nada.
