Village Soho

One of the best gay bars in London! Ivan, the bartender, is amazing, professional, funny, and genuinely lovely. He definitely deserves a pay rise! 😁 Vivian Bam Bam is the best DJ I've come across in any bar so far. Their music selection and style can keep people dancing all night, even without a drop of alcohol. Village is an absolute must-visit if you want to have a fantastic night out in London.

Security guards were on a power trip, wouldn’t let me or any other people in into an empty bar for no reason. The woman at the entry was quite delusional, guiding everyone towards other bars. lol. Seriously if I were the owner, I’d be pissed. I wasn’t drunk or anything, it was that I wasn’t with other people or something. At least that’s what the security woman said. She was very proud of herself

Came alone by a recommendation of a friend, I was denied entry on the grounds of: “we don’t know you, sorry”. Hope it’s not racism, anyways disgusting place to visit. Also: owner comment keeps the trend going: nothing like that was ever said to me, this is a complete lie. Be aware of racism!

Security staff great, bar staff friendly. Been a regular here for the last 13 years. The management is awful. The manager turns the music up to unhealthy levels and closes his eyes to anyone else. Drives the punters to the other side of the bar due to horrendous noise for the terrible 8pm “entertainment”. Horrible little man attitude, walks around oblivious to customer needs. Staff don’t even like him. Sooner he goes the better.

The security personnel exhibited an excessive display of authority, denying entry to myself and other patrons to an ostensibly vacant establishment without apparent justification. The individual managing the entrance appeared to be operating under a misapprehension, directing all prospective customers to alternative venues. It is my professional opinion that such conduct would be a cause for significant concern for the proprietor. My sobriety was not a factor in this situation; rather, the security representative indicated that my unaccompanied status was the reason for refusal. This individual appeared to take considerable satisfaction in her decision.
