Rupert Street

(53 Ratings)
Buzzy destination for movers and shakers

Soho's popular haunt for a mix of the well-scrubbed, the business-like and the category-resistant (with a commitment to textiles rather than leather). Large corner windows provide a good view of the Soho passersby, with plenty of outdoor space for sitting and standing (and waving to the drinking outsiders at gay neighbour the Duke of Wellington, within spitting distance). Opened in 1997, refurbished in late 2009 (and again in summer 2013, and again in April 2019). There's live drag cabaret every Thursday, and DJs give weekend nights that clubby touch, particularly with scene star Tasty Tim on Saturdays. Located seconds from so much that is gay in Soho, with Old Compton St just round the corner.

Trendy bar in Soho

Rupert Street is located right in the middle of Soho it has a great party atmosphere as well as good looking cwrod in their late 20s to late 30s. They play good quality dance music and on Friday and Saturday nights world-class DJs. I personally love this place.

good and friendly atmosphere

After it's make over lost its pushy toilet attendants and clean and trendy decor. Bar is still friendly with good drink deals and full top shelf options. Great place to stand outside for people watching and relaxed inside. Can get very busy and cocktail orders will delay service.
