I loved my time at this pub! Tania LeCoq was a fabulous host of karaoke night, and she is the best singer I’ve ever heard in my life. An amazing spot for all your pubbing needs. Good pizza too!

Popped in after wandering around London all day absolutely exhausted from the heat. Ordered a Cherry Bakewell cocktail. It wasn’t my favourite cocktail I’ve had but the person that served me was super friendly and I was simply grateful to sit down somewhere in the shade! It was quiet when I was there but that’s a blessing in disguise in the hustle n bustle of central London. Nice wee bar and would definitely pop in again next Im in London, find myself a cocktail I will like better! 🍻

The place is in its best, very clean, tidy, and nicely decorated. The drag shows are absolutely amazing (and they offer a variety, which is good). The staff is kind and the service is spotless. Overall the atmosphere is great and I would recomend it for a great night out.

I felt unsafe in this bar. As a gay man i decided to use the women’s cubicle and shortly after entering the bar 2 security staff barged in and told me to leave the bathroom, and I should use the urinals as I am a man, and if I was seen in the women’s again I would be kicked out.In 2023 this kind of behavior from a homophobic security is unacceptable.

Music far too loud. You cannot hear yourself think. It is quite early in the evening.Not sure how much you pay the drag doing the Karaoke but you need a refund. Cannot understand a word she says and is not funny at all. You need a professional like Chris at Central Station back here.I won't be coming here again on a Wednesday evening. Embarrassing.

Amazing people, delicious pizza and an atmosphere to die for. I'd definitely recommend if you're in Marble Arch and want to have a cheeky drink and good vibes!

We stumbled upon a drag show and Sissy Lea was performing. Amazing show, love her attitude. Good vibe in the pub. The price for drinks are reasonable. We had a blast.

Four of us lunched here yesterday, Sunday May 14th. The tables outside were all occupied so we dined inside. We explained that one of the party worked locally and had less than an hour to eat. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. After he left the other three of us moved outside and spent a very pleasant couple of hours drinking and watching the world go by!

Have always had friendly service here though no real ale only expensive lagers etc. Mixed crowd midday and afternoon but cannot comment on evenings but appreciate it can be busy. Evenings likely very different (from my experience of 10 years ago!!)

Great central gay bar, very close to Marble Arch. Visited on a Sunday evening, so it was really quiet, which we actually liked. Staff were friendly and gave us a good laugh. The music was good too.

I visited this bar for the first and last time.The girl working behind the bar was extremely rude and unprofessional. I ordered a double whiskey and water and she poured the water into my whiskey. When I brought attention to what she was serving me her reaction was to look me dead in the eye and say "what?". She almost broke the glass in the sink while pouring her wrong order. The next whiskey poured at me with unprecedented fury. I felt like she wanted to break the bottle off my head. On top of all that, she poured me water from the tap when I wanted bottled.Avoid this place if you don't want to feel like you are an unwanted guest.

Went there and hardly any gay people there. The place was straight playing loud drum and bass and garage music with heavy hip hop also. Avoid this place as its not a nice traditional gay bar like they advertise

I'm giving 5 stars even tho I had 1 small issue but it's really my own issue being a bartender myself in a liquor driven city. I was not happy with the measured pour. Not sure if it's regulated thing or a bar owner thing but I felt a bit ripped off by the tiny pour.Other than that the staff was friendly, quick and knew their drinks. The bar itself seemed fun and festive for the season.Overall I enjoyed myself that's why 5 stars.

This pub used to be my favorite gay friendly bar. Not anymore, now it is a normal bar that cater for everyone! Shame…however staff are friendly.

Went there yesterday afternoon with my wife and a couple of friends. It was quiet, staff were friendly. The food was okay. I was a little surprised that they only did pizzas, but they tasted alright.

Went there last night, what a mistake this was. Music was indian/arabic earblowing and way to loud for the number of guests, conversation was impossible. Staff is nice, but out of place. This is not a gay venue, this is a nice goodlooking local bar struggling to be something they are not, a club. Be a bar, put your volume down, get it back to the way it was once, when parties where there in an instant...

Decent bar. But you wait ages to be served, and then they charge slightly higher prices after 11, on the same drinks you've had before...

Fantastic service and excellent atmosphere, specially Megan ,she is doing good job dealing with customers and making the bar run smoothly. We always have great time and making us comfortable, when she is working .

Arrived at 20.15 on a Saturday with a friend and we were asked to pay to enter by the 2 security staff. Strange as the fee to enter ended at 20.00 so why are customers being asked to pay after this time and why no receipt or ticket to be issued. We just went into the bar but not a good experience. Additionally I had an empty water bottle which I was prevented from bringing in by the same security staff. While I can understand if it contained water, this was empty. I refill with water at a train station when going home in the early hours. Never an issue anywhere else or prior to last night at this bar. Service, as usual was excellent and bar tenders were very attentive.

Visited this Tuesday with my daughter. Only had two lemon/lime very well presented ice straws clean sparkly glasses.Two ordinary women one 45 and one 78 who enjoyed a quiet drink. Thank you.Probably not your usual clientele..

I’ve been in many pubs and gay pubs in my life, and I have to say it’s probably the worst. Firstly, everyone was overtly masculine, and in a toxic way. The music was horrific. Avoid this place on a Saturday night. It could be better when there is drag queens

Went here to watch a drag performance which was very fun. There was some confusion with the seating but it was resolved in the end. Great service, nice drinks and pizzas. 😺

Tourist trap. Great staff - but overpriced drinks, sticky floor and sad crowd. Not bad for a quick one on the way home but wouldn't recommend.

Straight bar with nice music until around 10:30 when it begins to play only hip hop r&b. It is good, but nothing of what I read online. It worth a go at least. 😉It was empty in a Thursday evening until midnight

Yesterday was my first visit back to the Quebec in about 6 years, but it was a really great evening. The staff were very friendly and the service was quick. Will definitely have to make more of an effort to head down that end of Oxford Street again soon.

Wandered in after visiting Hyde Park at lunch time and its a cracking little pub. It's a gay bar (we didn't know) not that it made an once of difference. Staff were great and music was better...a tad pricey (£14 for a pint and a wine) but that's London these days I guess

Update your opening hours. Coming at 00.30am on Tuesday to be told it's closed ( at 01.00) so can't come in, when on Google says 2.30am. Safe my time going somewhere else instead.

A cozy small gay bar just off Oxford Street that has been here for a long time (since 1946!). Acceptable beer selection and very attentive service. They serve pizzas, which we didn't try. Seem to be a number of regulars and the occasional tourist wondering by. Nice place to stop in for a beer to get away from the rush of Oxford Street.

Clare and myself popped in for some drinks after a cracking afternoon/ evening at Winter Wonderland. A great friendly bunch behind the bar, we were well looked after and one of the first places I've found Corona beer on tap by the pint. Thanks for a great end to our trip people. Check out Alan's Jameson's Whiskey hot chocolate with orange and a huge dollop of thick cream on the top... Very naughty, but deliciously worth it! Bravo.

This place is awesome. I was looked after by bartender Megan who was so knowledgeable, accommodating and sweet she made me feel like VIP thanks Megan.This place use to be old and ugly but it appears to be progressing. Employ more staff like Megan she is awesome, dedicated and treates u like a VIP. THANKS MEGAN FOR AN AWESOME NIGHT

The funny boys Drag show was a cheap quality, rip off show! First they made us sit in the corner from where we couldn't see. Then they kept asking us for money for every little thing including bingo and games that was supposed to be part of the ticket. The prosecco glass was a joke. Pizza was OK..Not sure what we paid for. And besides the venue was a pub. My friends weren't happy or impressed either.. especially at the end after they ripped us off, they came begging us for tips. Don't waste your time here!

Thought I'd pop in for a quick pint. Was told to scan a app... that was no problem and then the doorman started asking questions about the NHS app and vaccination etc... I went to a different pub instead. Just a weird experience. I won't be back. Good luck.

Attended with some friends recently hoping to have an enjoyable evening:Was greeted by a rude gent at the front entry point. We should have recognised that as an insight to the general level of customer service but we proceeded nonetheless! Food was cold and lacked flavour nor did the customer service improve. Would only return if all other pubs in the area were closed!!!PS: this is my local.....should have listen to my neighbours!

I was part of the event downstairs today which was very well organised and despite following all the Government rules and guidelines we had an amazing time and I most certainly will be back here. Nothing would be so amazing if we were not looked after by Anton he was always there around and making sure we well hydrated and fed - thanks, Anton.

Lovely place! Highly recommended. I arrived to London two years ago and this was one of the first places I visited frequently. And I still do, even if not as frequently as before. The guys and ladies at the bar have always been kind and helpful. I feel here like at home! I had more pictures but not on the phone anymore 😂😂

The City of Quebec was the closest place to us. Not being from London we thought we would check out the scene. The set up was a little odd with a long bar...
