    I liked this place on a week day, not too crowded and nice music. We could chat and have a few…read moredrinks. But on a Friday evening it was too much people for me and you could barely sit down, yet it was empty downstairs on the dance floor.

    Ehhg. My friend…read moresaid this was the new HOT spot in as far as the gay scene goes so a group of us hop foot it here after a birthday meal for a beer and a boogie on a Friday evening. As we approached we were told there was going to be a £3 entry fee, which for a regular pub with no entertainment on annoys me but hey ho here we go. But we all got stamped with GLORY on our wrists and were let in for free. Now I'm too young to ever have experienced the more underground gay bars of yesteryear - but this place felt reminiscent of those times. For 11pm on a Friday there was no way the bar needed to be that HOT. I mean, difficult to breathe kind of HOT. And yet remarkably everyone still had their shirts on! The bar itself is small and crammed, but the staff were nice and friendly and the booze reasonably priced. The whole place is very dark, with a small cabaret stage area with the compulsory silver backdrop. It all felt a bit dated, terrible (and not ironically camp) music, sauna type hot with a keep your clothes on rule and just BLEH. No I'm not the lesbian spoil sport - I love a good sausage bar with a good atmosphere, but I'm afraid the only Glory in this bar may be in the holes in the bathroom.

    This place is hilarious…read more Nestled in the surburban-y nowhere of South Ealing is this strange and wonderful place. I'd heard of West Five. It has an ambiguous reputation, meaning my imagination ran wild with the all kinds of grott and depravity it could be. This place blew my expectations. I imagined some tacky bar with large dancefloor and disco-balls galore. Some attempt to rival the Soho scene. Oh No. It's a pub. A really big pub. Traditional pub sign hanging high outside proudly coloured in rainbow. Inside, aside from the purple-pink neon bar it's your local. Good selection behind the bar and really reasonable prices. The staff are unpretentious and friendly. There's a real feeling of community here, everyone knowing everyone, instead of everyone sleeping with everyone. We went on a Friday, the evening started early with great entertainment. A wonderful gentleman playing you show tune classics on the stunning grand piano in one section of the bar. We moved from the dance classics to join him. He took requests and invited us up to sing. It was a wonderful atmosphere for friends catching up. Moving on from civilised sing song and chat we take up our space on the dancefloor and get ready for the head-liner. A fantastic caliber of drag act entertained us. Far from your dodgy man in a dress was this wonderful entertainer that warmed us up for an energetic night on the dancefloor. This pub is great for groups. Pool table, seating, different spaces for different crowds and a good atmosphere. It's not always very busy, even on this particular Friday it was no where near full, and it was quite clear they were mainly audience for the headline act. Don't get me wrong, it's still all kinds of camp, disco balls included and the ladies leave a lot to be desired but it's got a lot of soul. I wish this place was not in the arse crack of no where, but I suppose if it was, it wouldn't be the same.

    This is my favorite gay venue in the whole of London!…read more The place is just great, it's big, got friendly staff and something for everyone. Bingo nights, karaoke nights, quiz nights, DJ's, drag shows, a massive garden, a piano lounge, big dance floor, comfy sofas, yeah, everything you could wish for when you want a night out! Another reason for this being my favorite place is that the people who go there seems more relaxed than in central London. Less artificial and pretentious. There is also a big mix between girls and boys, women and men, straights and gays, in all ages! If you want a good and fun night out, or just somewhere to chill, this is your place!

    I stopped in on my overnight stay in Brighton thinking I would have one, maybe two drinks and go on…read moreto another bar. Nope! I had such a great time here singing along with the cabaret performers, that I ended up being here for hours. All of the staff were fun to be around and made me feel welcomed. Drink prices were average for Brighton (a Bacardi and Coke was £8 which is not too bad in my opinion) and were not too strong but not weak either. Definitely recommend for a fun time, but be warned, because this is a smaller venue sometimes they engage a queuing system, like on the evening I went, but I wasn't in queue for long.

    'For him, for her, for everyone' is the motto at the Queens Arms which sums the place up perfectly…read more Its one of Brighton's best known gay pubs but does attract a mixed crowd so you don't feel too out of place if you're straight. The staff are really friendly and welcoming and really do their best to create a relaxed atmosphere. We drink there quite a bit in the daytime as its a lot more chilled out than the evening surge. They have free wi-fi too so its quite handy to pop in for a pint, some lunch and get on-line. In the evening (especially at weekends) it can really take off with its award winning entertainments; Karaoke nights, DJs and hilarious drag acts really bring the crowds in. Well worth checking out.

One day I was strolling through Richmond and spotted him walking down the alley way towards this pub, so I thought I might follow him to see where he went. ( IT WASN'T STALKING!! ). He went into this pub with its rainbow flag proudly flying. (Clue *2) Has anyone guessed yet that this is a gay pub? "How could you not have realised that this was a gay pub?" Asked my friend. "The flowers are so well tended to out the front - when do you see that with a straight pub?". That is true. This pub has one of the nicest flower displays that I have ever seen. it also has an extremely friendly crowd. I would say that it is more gay than mixed. They also hold cabaret nights as well as other entertainment. It is tucked away from Richmond high street, and obviously has a completely different vibe from the loud, crazy bars that are so near it. Somehow it seems like an oasis of tranquility. I just wish that I had discovered it in more pleasant circumstances!

    Blimey, this place is a bit of a Janus as it has two faces. During the day and evening it is a…read moreperfectly decent ordinary pub in the centre of Richmond, however after closing time it dusts off the day's business and becomes a very nice gay bar! I know this because I went with some gay friends one of whose birthday it was. I probably wouldn't have gained entry on my own but inside was brill indeed. I danced the early morning away, up until about 2am when the place closed down. Music was great, drinks were expensive and I was even asked to dance which absolutely never happens in straight discos. I will have to try the pub with its day time face on. Richmond is a surprise!
