About Ku Lounge

Ku Lounge is the first-floor cocktail and cabaret space at Ku Bar on Lisle Street. Compared with the flagship bar below and the nightclub in the basement, it offers a more intimate, seated and polished way to begin a Soho night. The focus is on cocktails, live drag and cabaret, with pop and vocal classics setting the tone. It works well for a date, pre-club drinks or anyone who wants a performance without committing to a full-scale club night. On show evenings, the room can fill quickly and good seats are limited. Ku Lounge follows its own weekly schedule, separate from the main bar and Ku Klub. Check the specific event for showtime, entry and booking details; some offers may include onward entry to the club, but this is subject to the night's terms and door policy.

What to expect

Expect a glamorous but relaxed LGBTQ+ lounge with table seating, cocktails and close-up drag or cabaret rather than a large dancefloor.

Fun spot with a great vibe. Ku Lounge is always lively, good music, good crowd, and a really social atmosphere. Great cocktails, and the energy is exactly what you want for a night out. Easy place to start or end the evening.

Ku Lounge is a fantastic spot on the map of London! It impresses from the moment you walk in – elegant interior design, pleasant lighting, and a truly atmospheric vibe. The staff are friendly and professional, and the cocktails are outstanding – both in taste and presentation. It’s a perfect place for an evening out, meeting friends, or even a date. Definitely worth a visit – I’ll be coming back for sure! 🍸✨

Great drinks, I really enjoyed the lotus drops and long island ice tea. Don't worry if a cocktail you like isn't on the menu, the bar staff may be able to make it for you anyways. I enjoyed the music playing, there was K/DA and a vocal cover of crazy frog that I really enjoyed. The waitress was very nice and provided great service to everyone and seemed very friendly and always happy to help. At 9 or 10, I don't remember when, a drag show was hosted and was a very fun experience, Snow White Trash was the performer's name, great singing and saxophone playing, great comedy she was very funny, and got the crowd involved as well. The seats were comfortable and the establishment was very well presented. This was all on the first floor, not the ground floor, I was not able to see if there were any accessibility options available.

Lovely bar but the security was an absolute bully to me. Picked on me because I was quiete? I guess next time I should come in rowdy? Asked me if I was English. Not sure why. Said that when I come into bars I should be careful because my lips are purple (I’ve drank red wine and he acknowledged that). I’m a central London pub manager. I don’t need advice on how to get into a bar. Shame. This occurred Saturday 24th January 2026 9:30pm.

We got to see a drag show and get a signature cocktail for a total of £10. The show was absolutely amazing. But other than that the drinks are expensive, about 16 for a cocktail and 8 for a shot of titos.
