This review is dedicated to the lovely staff and drag performers I have met at this bar/venue! Even the bouncers on the door are amazing. I really have loved the vibes being in here, from the lights, to the balcony smoking area and even the third floor! I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the girls who do the door, the performances and even hosting! Specific shout out to Lavender Sniff (Sniffy), as I really loved the viewing parties that she hosted for RPDR UK S7. They were fun, smart and came along with some fabulous guests. I would just love to see her host even more shows in OnBar!

Hi, I’d like to raise a concern regarding an incident at your venue on 11/06/26. I was with the person who was accused of throwing a glass from the balcony and can confirm that I did not see them throw anything. They repeatedly denied the allegation and asked staff to review the CCTV properly, but were still removed from the venue. Because of the way the situation was handled, I felt uncomfortable remaining in the club and decided to leave as well, which brought an early end to our night. From what I witnessed, the decision to remove them appeared to be based on a general description rather than clear identification. I would ask that this matter be investigated thoroughly, including a review of the CCTV footage and the actions of the staff involved. If it is confirmed that the wrong person was identified, I believe an apology would be appropriate. Thank you.

Very disappointed, we came last night and these security guards ruined our whole night. There was a group of 9 of us, 7 of us got let in and paid a £10 entry fee. They then denied entry of Two boys we were in the group with as they were “not looking gay enough”. They then continued to let in multiple other straight couples. When we asked for our £10 entry fees back they refused and were rude. Do not recommend at all!!

This bar needs new and trained doormen. One decided to drag my daughter out like a rag doll even though she said she'd just walk out, absolutely humiliating her and spoiling the whole night out. Hope the doorman who did this felt very manly and tough. Absolutely shocking behaviour !!!
