Gay Bars

Friendly Society
This is one of Soho’s gems and a place not to be missed off your list of Soho bars to visit. As the name suggests, the staff and clientele tend to be quite friendly. Conversation is never hard here as there are so many talking points – eccentric wallpaper, hanging troll dolls, naked Barbies (or could be Cindy), gold fish.

Most nights see one of the bar’s resident DJs take to the decks in the main room, pumping out an eclectic mix of camp classics and one hit wonders.

Review

“The Friendly Society is one of those rare places that make you feel you’ve wandered totally off the beaten track while still being right in the thick of things.”

The Green Carnation
The Green Carnation is certainly one of Soho’s classier drinking venues. The upstairs bar is dedicated to the spirit of Oscar Wilde, whose quotes adorn the green and gold lacquered walls. Against this decadent back drop you’ll find pianists and singers.

Reviews

“Bringing a touch of class to Soho, the Green Carnation has something for everyone from the opulent feel of the upstairs lounge bar to retro flashing walls that light up and the disco vibe downstairs.”

“The barmen are impossibly handsome, and wonderfully attentive. There is plenty to choose from the cocktail list, from Raspberry Caipirinhas to more traditional martini’s, which are delicious.”

KU Bar
When you walk into KU bar you feel like you have entered an Abercrombie and Fitch store. The bar staff are simply beautiful. The bars (one off Old Compton Street and the other in China Town) are elegantly decorated, play great music and should be part of your night out in Soho.
