It’s a shame that all “gayness” from what was Soho’s greatest gay bar has been eradicated from Circa - is it even a gay bar any more ? From the pictures of the hot guys on the wall to the mention of it even being a gay bar on the screens. There are better queer spaces to go in Soho that don’t seem to be in the closet.

Been coming to this bar for a while a must visit when in Soho for me. I likes it's chilled relaxed atmosphere, the bar has 2 areas the main bar area with a DJ and a quieter area as you enter the bar from the street. Can always get a drink in a timely manner no mad ques, no getting bumped into.
