Beer Merchants Tap in Hackney Wick hosts BAR TRASH, a regular cult cinema night run by Token Homo that brings queer, cult, and curious cinema to the pub's backroom screening space. Events feature everything from blaxploitation classics and horror films to banned Video Nasties and cult favourites, all presented with themed drinks, introductions, intermissions, prize giveaways, and subtitles. The atmosphere is relaxed and social—audiences are encouraged to laugh, whoop, and treat it like a fun night out rather than a reverential cinema experience.

Screenings take place in an informal pub setting with a projector and sound system, creating an intimate and interactive vibe where film fans can enjoy a pint alongside the movie. With events strictly for ages 18+, BAR TRASH combines craft beer culture with adventurous film programming, making Beer Merchants Tap a unique spot for discovering offbeat cinema in a laid-back, community-focused environment.
