This rather unusual gay bar specialises in the older man and other men who admire him. 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. Upstairs is quieter and more respectable, downstairs the music is loud and it can get a bit raunchy. But then again, maybe you like that!
