About Village Soho

Village Soho has occupied its prominent Wardour Street corner since 1991, making it one of the longest-running gay bars in the neighbourhood. The multi-level venue offers several different moods without leaving the building. The ground floor is social and music-led, with a predominantly gay crowd and plenty of people-watching. Upstairs provides cocktails, booths and a view over the street, while late nights bring DJs, go-go dancers and more of a club atmosphere. Weekly drag, themed events and drinks offers add variety to the regular programme. Village works for everything from an early meeting point to a late Soho finish, but the spaces and music can become busy on Friday and Saturday. Check the event schedule and current opening hours if you want a particular show or quieter visit.

What to expect

Expect a polished, multi-level gay bar that becomes louder and more dance-focused later. Different floors offer slightly different moods.

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!

Terrible service; the bartenders were incredibly rude. I asked for some information about the menu, and one had the audacity to call me illiterate, telling me to "learn to read" since it was already written there. Later, I went to another part of the pub and encountered another waiter with the same attitude; we waited to try and buy a drink, but he refused to serve anyone who had been standing there waiting for over 10 minutes—yet he made a point of serving his own friends.
