Power Lunches Arts Café was a music venue, rehearsal space, and creative hub located at 446 Kingsland Road in Dalston, a district of the London Borough of Hackney, from 2011 until 2015.[1][2][3] It started out with gigs planned to be only at weekends, but later became a prominent feature of Hackney’s DIY music scene with gigs most nights every week.[1][4] Though originally genuinely also a café, it eventually stopped serving food.

The cafe hosted performances in its basement, the maximum capacity of which was 150.[1] These were most often concerts by local bands, but also saw acts from elsewhere in the UK, as well as further afield.

Staff of the venue hosted a radio show showcasing the type of musicians to appear there on NTS Radio between 2012 and 2015.
