Top gay clubs in london


London knows a thing or two about diversity, which is why it's no surprise that its gay bar scene is pretty epic; from karaoke with go-go boys in the heart of Soho, the eminent Two Brewers in Clapham, cosy cocktail bars perfect for a chat, and drag performances from local (and global) talent. Needing no excuse to party well into the wee hours, whether that's in Soho, East London or beyond, these gays bars in London are tried and tested when it comes to having a excellent time.



Rupert Street Bar

2 reviews

A fun-loving hangout in the thick of Soho's bustling nightlife scene, Rupert Street Bar is among the most popular Gay Bars in Town. Open 7-days a week, the venue's calm, relaxing ambience makes way for something altogether more rambunctious when the sun goes down. There's fantastic gleeful hour deals on cocktails and champers to take advantage of between midday and 8pm, cocktails on Mondays and raucous DJ nights at the weekends.

Sink a cocktail in one of London's finest LGBTQ+ bars and pubs and you'll be drinking in more than just some watered down booze: these spots are LGBTQ+ landmarks in their own right, places where you can find community, kinship, and drag-fuelled mayhem. Beats billiards in your local.

Once upon a noun, having a gay old time in London meant hotfooting it straight to Soho. But now, the city's queer centre of gravity has shifted east, with edgier spots pulling crowds to Dalston when night falls, while some of the city's most storied LGBTQ+ venues have taken up residence in Vauxhall. So whether you're after a drag brunch, a burlesque show or just a quiet pint, here's a comprehensive list of the capital's gay and queer-friendly bars and pubs, from the legendary G-A-Y to lesbian-centric She Soho to sing-yer-heart-out special The Karaoke Hole.

RECOMMENDED: Store the party going at London's best LGBTQ+ clubs.
