About Ku Lounge

If you're in the mood for a chill night out in Soho, Ku Lounge is the place to hit up. Nestled in the heart of London's LGBT scene, this spot is all about good vibes and great drinks. Think of it as your laid-back, fancy yet unpretentious hangout. First things first, the cocktails here are the real deal. The espresso martini comes highly recommended, and they've got a happy hour that's worth every penny. And let's talk about the ambiance – it's got this cool mix of luxury and comfort that just works. Whether you're out with your squad or flying solo, the vibe here is welcoming and lively. The staff at Ku Lounge deserve a shoutout. They're super friendly and know their stuff when it comes to mixing drinks. Plus, they add to the whole relaxed atmosphere of the place. Now, if you're into more than just sitting and sipping, Ku Lounge has got you covered with their cabaret, drag shows, and DJ nights. It's never a dull moment here. Location-wise, Ku Lounge is easy to find. Just a short walk from Leicester Square, you're right in the mix of Soho's best – theaters, shops, you name it. It's the perfect start (or end) to a night out in London.

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.

Great venue. Quieter during the week, but plenty of space per table, you dont have to shout over music to be heard, staff are friendly and approachable, heated outdoor smoking area. Got a complimentary round of shots for my birthday too
