About this place The Yard

The Yard, on Rupert Street in Soho, is a gay bar that wraps around a covered courtyard, making outdoor drinking in central London a possibility regardless of the weather. You'll find a loft bar upstairs. It's a relaxed spot, and the crowd's a mix of ages. The courtyard fills up quickly after work and on weekend afternoons. It's open from 3 pm on weekdays and 1 pm on weekends. Hours are 11:30 pm Monday to Thursday, midnight on Friday and Saturday, and 10:30 pm on Sunday. Old Compton Street, and the rest of Soho's bars, are just a two-minute walk away.

Nice bar, tucked away, nice pint, lovely seating area when weather is nice. Sun Trap. A mix of different people just seating drinking and enjoy themselves. Worth a visit. Only downside no bar snacks
