Admiral Duncan

visited London for Pride, after enjoying the parade and getting some food, I wanted to find a place to drink, I saw this place and the atmosphere looked fun, it looked popular, I ended up having a blast, great atmosphere, great drag performances, lively, everyone was friendly. I'll definitely be returning to this place when I'm next out in London.

⭕️ HOW TO FEEL EXCLUDED BEING GAY ON A GAY BAR? Read below 👇🏼 Who would have thought my friends & I (regulars to this bar) would be singled out and excluded for wearing a football shirt in 2026?? 🏳️‍🌈 Admiral Duncan’s assertion that wearing a football shirt constitutes a political statement associated with VIOLENCE and HARASSMENT is, in my view, inconsistent. Many forms of personal expression can be interpreted as political, depending on the context. For example, displaying an LGBTQ+ pride flag is also widely understood as carrying political and social significance (and for many that is enough reason to violate human rights). If a venue chooses to prohibit one form of symbolic expression on the basis that it is political, shouldn’t it apply that principle consistently? A bar that promotes itself as INCLUSIVE and a place where people can EXPRESS THEMSELVES should make everyone FEEL WELCOME, regardless of whether they’re wearing a football shirt or not - otherwise how much of INCLUSIVITY are we talking about here?? ‼️ ASSUMING that we will be VIOLENT or cause PROBLEMS to the people at the venue and the venue itself was a big mistake and entirely UNFOUNDED from their side, we were not looking for confrontation; we are simply a bunch of gays who wanted to enjoy a pint in what believed would be a welcoming & friendly environment. Instead, we felt JUDGED and unfairly STEREOTYPED before we had done anything to justify such treatment. 👥 DISAPPOINTED by the way the MANAGEMENT team handled the situation. The response lacked professionalism and failed to reflect the inclusive and respectful values that the venue promotes.

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

Literally the only gay bar in soho that was friendly and welcoming. Thanks for being nice and inclusive. The bartender that helped me was great and very kind. Definitely beats the other bars we went to. Go here for a cute bar and friendly vibes! Avoid Village and Comptons. Thank you for at least making some part of our night good.

Best bar in central London. I love it here. It may get súper crowded night time weekend. I generally like going Tuesdays since my fav artists sing on Tuesday evening
