About this place MA1: The Bunker

MA1: The Bunker is listed as an LGBTQ+ bar and club at 217-221 City Road, between Old Street and Angel on the Shoreditch side of central London. Older copy put it on Cornwall Road in Waterloo, which doesn't match this address. We also can't confirm what kind of nights it runs, so take this listing with caution. There are no opening hours on file. The website (ma1.co.uk) and the listed phone number are the best way to see what is on and when. Old Street station is the nearest Tube stop.

Been here a few times on 'LJOC' (London Jack Off Club) on Mondays at 6pm (it begins) amazing is all I can say! Amazing! Wish there were more places like it that embraced the "jack off" love it and come here whenever I'm free and can make it. Well done to the owner/host of this event.

I think they overcharged us we paid for entrance £24 each, without any welcome drink. Friendly barmen , nice cold beer at the bar, but from the can only, no crafted fresh beer and when I saw it price on website £12,but at the door double amount, I won't ask for manager, because we knew what they will refuse then entrance at all, so noone sent email, pointless. We pay as requested, just share here my not good experience in Bunker. This is first time happens with us in Bunker, hopefully next visit will be more polite...
