Great day bar in the heart of Soho. A friend of mine took me there. He knows that I'm into older men so he knows what he was doing to suggest trying this place. It was like heaven to me, especially in the afternoon, it was full of daddies. Now I know where to go next time I'm in Soho. All the daddies are gathering there. The drinks were nice. The staff were friendly. And the place is huge, it's 2 floors.

This Bar is so vivid I always have such a wonderful time it’s the place to go if you’re looking for a just a fun night!! The staff are all lovely, however Colin is my favourite Bartender!! I sat upstairs one night one the second floor and he was so attentive on a busy Friday night, not to mention my drinks were delicious!

It's a tale of two bars. Staff are great in both. Downstairs is busy and pick-upy whereas upstairs is great for having quiet chats with old friends and new. Drinks are a bit pricey but that's Soho for you. It's well-run and friendly with attentive security staff. Toilets are well-maintained.

Such a vibrant and welcoming spot in Soho. I’m in most days.The bar attracts a friendly crowd of mature gay men, adding to the warm atmosphere. Always great service provided by the bartenders. I feel very comfortable there and their sense of humour is fabulous.Special shout-out to Ivan, who always takes time out to chat and make you feel welcome David
