Village Soho is a legendary fixture in the heart of London and an essential pin on any traveler’s global gay map. Since opening its doors in 1991 as one of the district's first continental-style gay bars, this multi-level venue has remained a cornerstone of the city's queer community. Located at the bustling corner of Wardour Street and Old Compton Street, it offers three distinct floors of entertainment, ensuring there is a vibe for every mood under one roof. During the day, the street-level cafe bar provides a relaxed, social atmosphere perfect for a cocktail or people-watching the vibrant streets of Soho. As the sun sets, the energy transforms. The upstairs Soho Bar features plush booths and elegant chandeliers, where you can sip signature cocktails while enjoying views of the neon-lit neighborhood. For those ready to hit the dance floor, the basement club pumps out deep house and techno, while the upper floors are famous for high-energy pop sets, iconic drag divas, and some of the most famous go-go boys in the UK. Whether you are a local regular or a visitor exploring the LGBTQ+ scene for the first time, Village Soho offers a welcoming and inclusive safe space. It is a premier destination for gay men and the wider queer community to connect, celebrate, and dance until the early hours.
