G-A-Y Bar

(407 Ratings)
Poppy pre-club video bar

Three floors of lively and camp-sympathetic atmosphere, with a decidedly up-and-coming (read young) crowd meeting up before heading out to the clubs, most probably G-A-Y Late or Heaven — the main arena for the G-A-Y enterprise [see entries]. Opened 2002. Happy Hour cheap drinks Friday  5pm–8pm. Located two doors down from restaurant Balans Soho No. 34 [see entry] and diagonally opposite lesbian bar She Soho [see entry]. Basement area no longer plays host to nightly lesbian-dominated Girls Go Down.

Good time to be had!

Even though I am mid 40's, I had a great time here Nov 2014. Yes, it is mostly 18-25..but, who gives a fuck? Go with your mates, and show the kids how to have a good time! Drinks are ridiculously cheap!
