| This is still London's only real gay Bear Bar. Most of the clientele are men over 30 years of age - which makes a refreshing change in Soho. It serves real ale (usually!) and is friendly. If you are the proud owner of a beard and/or moustache you will be really popular. Disco bunnies might want to consider other gay venues. The principal problem is that it gets much toooooooooo crowded. The deep narrow layout doesn't suit crowds and you are likely to get jostled and have your beer spilled by the stream of people trying to get to and from the loo and to the upstairs bar. The other problem is the loos - which are disgustingly smelly and too small. goldenlane - 11 Jun 2009 21:18 |
| This place gets worse and worse; it took them 3 weeks to sort out the dish washer so everyone had to drink out of plastic and the last time I was in there the concept of a bottle of bleach was beyond them; the toilets stank so badly my nose-hair fried. Brain dead graffitti but then if you don't respect your customers, why should they respect you? BTUK - 12 Mar 2009 14:52 |
| Great gay pub for bears and admirers. I usually end up here a couple of nights a week for a few cheeky pints after work. Staff are very friendly and polite - as are most of the clientele. Can be a bit cliquey if you are on your own, but with a bunch of mates its a nice place to hang out. In the summer it gets incredibly busy outside with people drinking al fresco. It also has a much underused upstairs. Sundays are well known for Karaoke so get there early unless you want to find yourself squashed in a corner with lots of hairy men. But then again, maybe thats what you're looking for.... Essexladjoe - 29 Oct 2008 12:28 |
| Decent pub . Not only has everybody shagged each other here - they all tell each other about it. Unique pub bob55 - 21 Dec 2007 12:34 |
| Well they closed and refurbished this place after the smoking ban came in and it's still a fly-blown dump. Toilets disgraceful so god knows what the cellar is like. Often felt sick after drinking draught here so switched to bottles. Staff are attitude-ridden queens. Only the clientele make it bearable :-) Manager has a "DJ" in on a Saturday so converstaion is impossible, he'd obviously rather be running a club than the potentially cracking traditional Gay boozer he has...
