About G-A-Y Bar

G-A-Y Bar in Soho is pretty much the go-to spot if you're into having a blast in London's gay scene. It's like the epicenter of fun for the young and lively gay crowd. Think of it as your classic, no-frills, all-fun gay bar where it's all about good vibes and great times. The place is open every day from midday to midnight, so whether you're an early bird or a night owl, there's always something going on. The bar spreads out over three floors, and each level has its own kind of buzz. The ground floor is where the party kicks off, but the real hidden gem is the upstairs area, especially during the week. It's got this cool outdoor terrace that's usually packed with people just chilling and having a smoke. Down in the basement, things get a bit more stylish. It's a bit chicer and adds a nice touch to the whole bar experience. And if you're planning to hit G-A-Y on the weekend, be prepared for a crowd – it gets super busy, and they frisk everyone at the door to keep things safe and comfy for everyone. G-A-Y Bar isn't just a place to grab a drink and dance – it's a part of London's gay culture. It's where you can let loose, be yourself, and meet some awesome people who are all there for a good time.

If you want midweek drinks for less than £2 this is the only place to go - Great pop music all from the TV jukebox and plenty of space spread out over 3 floors. Perfect place to start you night but will be very busy after 10pm Fri, Sat and Sun. Attracts any crowd
