Historic. Fun. Gay. The more wholesome remnants of what Soho used to be. Or must have been.
An absolute gem! We had a fantastic time at this bar. The location is ideal and perfectly situated. The cocktails are delicious, perfectly balanced, and original. We were absolutely blown away by the staff: incredibly kind, warm, and attentive... Truly top-notch! The atmosphere is fantastic, and the service is impeccable from start to finish. If you're looking for a great place to grab a drink, go without hesitation. We'll definitely be back!
Friendly gay pub that's been around longer than me. Gets busy later in the evening. Drag shows most evenings.
Amazing evening, absolute hoot. Certainly be back 😃👍👍
Charming... super fun
I had a Great night here on bank holiday Monday just gone, drag karaoke was great, host was great and high energy, people didn’t take themselves seriously and everyone was friendly. Staff were really lovely too, even though it was super busy and a bit of a crush at the bar they were on it and didn’t take long to get served, very polite and friendly and made you feel welcome. The crowd Is 99% men but as two gay women we felt welcome and the staff had a lot to do with that. The whole vibe was fun, safe and welcoming
