Lo que dicen los críticos

Visitors praise Old Compton Street for being an iconic spot for a beer with good music and a welcoming atmosphere, especially upstairs for people-watching. However, multiple reviews highlight issues with staff and security, including being refused service, treated unwelcomingly if not presenting as a gay man, and long waits to be served.

Sobre este lugar Old Compton Street — Corazón queer de Soho

Old Compton Street runs east-west through Soho and has been the centre of London's gay bar scene since the 1980s. The Admiral Duncan, Comptons, the Duke of Wellington nearby and a string of cafes and shops make it the default starting point for a night out in the West End. Early evening and weekends are busiest, when drinkers spill onto the pavements. On 30 April 1999, a far-right extremist, David Copeland, set off a nail bomb in the Admiral Duncan at number 54. It killed three people, Andrea Dykes, Nik Moore and John Light, and injured dozens more. He was given life sentences. A memorial inside the rebuilt pub remembers the victims, and people gather there each year on the anniversary.

An iconic spot for a beer. On my return visit to London, I met up with friends to reminisce about years spent in this city and at this bar. 🏳️‍🌈

Newest staff remember refused to serve me on pride day and I don’t know why she literally changed and won’t served me and I’m a regular there so really don’t understand why when I’m fine and there’s others in a state

My queer friend recommended this location for us for a nice pint while in Soho - and while I was welcomed with open arms she got told off if "she knew this was a gay bar" and laughed at when she pointed out why they hang the lesbian flag if the bar is only meant for gay men. One plus point was the well organized bar if you were not treated like air if you are female.

Gay bar apparently means just that - despite having the lesbian flag hanging on display in reality everyone not presenting as a gay man is very much unwelcome here

Great bar. Good music and a good crowd.
