FancyaPint?'s review...

This is one of the longest running and rather unusual gay bars in London, specialising in the older man and other men who admire him. A slight name change hasn't really changed the character of this place, although it's had a bit of a face lift. If you are an older gay man or you want to meet older gay men, this will be a world beating five pinter. Otherwise... well, it's horrifically expensive, the beer is crap, the manager is rude and the chavvy rent boys can be downright frustrating. On the upside, the bar seems to be permanently inhabited by some real 'characters' and has a lot less attitude than most gay bars and some thoroughly nice people among the regulars. And you get the amusing sight of tourists walking in from Oxford Street, walking up to the bar... and then walking straight out again when they see two seventy-something men snogging in the corner. Although on our recent afternoon visit, the tables outside in the newly pedestrianised street seemed equally populated with business types, tourists and a few gay men.
