Friendly & welcoming staff. Excellent selection of drinks. Shame they don't do any food in the evenings. Great vibe & good music.

5 stars? NO!!! MORE THAN THAT!!!!! UNFORTUNATELY MAXIMUM IS 5. A MUST VISIT - IN LONDON In our 2 weeks stay in London, I was practically there all the weekends and after work on weekdays! Well thanks to SEBASTIAN who made our London stay much more memorable, we came to Rupert st. Over and over!!! SEBASTIAN is the best barman in town, or even whole of England? I mean I have tried countless places all over the world but no one has ever made me a ' Stunning Drink' than SEBASTIAN! So Rupert st. Bar is a must visit and only be extra special if Your drink is made by SEBASTIAN! Such a stunning cocktail performance that you must see!!! Even my girl friends were head over their heels seeing his performance! QUEER OR NOT YOU HAVENT HAD A PROPER DRINK IF NOT MADE BY SEBASTIAN AT RUPERT'S!

First time visiting Rupert St. Felt welcome from the start and the staff were really friendly. Good range of cocktails and at decent prices. An inclusive and open space. Will definitely be back in the future.

Fabulous. Great night out! Iconic SOHO, been coming here since 1998. Love it. Always gets better. ❤️🥳👌👏🏼

Amazing service and a great vibe on a Friday post-work; so nice to see peoples’ faces without masks too! Thanks so much team at Rupert St!

Rude/Inhospitable-- AVOID. Two friends and I walked into this bar and a cheery bartender happily served us a round of drinks. But within five minutes the music stopped and harsh lights came on. Although it was suddenly quite insalubrious, we were only a fraction of the way through our drinks and attempted to continue our conversation. In short order two different staff members told us to leave, saying the bar was closing. Then someone we assumed was an overserved patron parroting or mocking the staff swept through the room barking “Could you all please f**king leave.” When a third staff member instructed us to leave I suggested that they ought not to sell drinks to unsuspecting customers and then immediately boot them out. I was told to take it up with the manager…who it turns out was actually the “drunk customer” we had seen yelling moments prior. Many of the staff at this bar are unprofessional and the place is completely inhospitable. Door and/or bar staff should have advised us that the venue was closing imminently; instead they greedily took our money. It is due to experiences like this that as a Londoner I usually avoid Soho like the plague, especially on weekends. I would advise others to do the same. I rarely write negative reviews but this entire experience was absurd and galling.

Not sure if this place is discriminatory towards straight people but my friend and I were made to feel VERY unwelcome by the hostile bar staff who took eons to serve us, so much so that after one drink (a strangely very weak vodka and tonic in my case) we left and went across the road to The Yard, which I would totally recommend. When we asked if we could talk to the manager about the service we were told "He isn't available" and then, much quieter "And he won't care". Not sure if we were meant to here this snide comment or not but we both did. Do yourself a favour: skip this place and go somewhere friendlier. EDIT: wow, what a horrible reply from an unrepentant little manager who clearly doesn't give a toss about customer service, especially from two straight women. Misogynistic? Irrefutably. Short? Probably. EDIT 2: suggest whatever you want, you arrogant little wretch. Unless you have a tiny IQ you will already have noted that I'd rather eat razor blades in a dirty sock than visit your tawdry little pit again. Anywhere where the manager talks to customers the way you do is definitely somewhere to avoid. Oh, and a little tip for you, if you want someone to email you, perhaps you should, you know, include your email address? LOL.

Went here to celebrate my 40th birthday after being double booked at my previous venue. The manager Sam went out of his way to create a space for me and my guests at 5 minutes notice. Great cocktails, amazing bar staff and top music. My mum absolutely hates bars but is begging me to take her again. Truly a night to remember. Thank you Sam @ the bar team

Friendly staff, really nice cocktails and the Dj's makes your day😍, if you are in central London and you looking for something cool, I definitely suggest to stop by Rupert Street Bar ✨✨✨

Thr place where gay men go to brag about their job, income, preppy style and/or bank balance. Also where wanna be toy boys go to meet sugar daddies... only to find out they are too tight & cheap to pay the drinks tab for two. Not my vibe at all. But if you can see past it's posers and passive aggressive snobbery, it does offer some good drink specials, cheap bottles of champagne, nice dance music, good seating and lighting that makes people of all ages look good. The bar staff are adorable and friendly. They alone can make a visit worthwhile.

Absolutely fabulous!!! Best bar in soho. Great staff especially Connor. Staff are exceptional. Great cocktails and atmosphere is awesome. By far the best. Thanks for a fabulous night. X

Had a booking for my partner's birthday and had a great time! The guy who made our drinks (Josh I think) was super attentive and overall had a perfect night

First time I was there, on the 17 Aug. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and loved the show. Don't remember the name but she did performed in my old home city Gothenburg and was so friendly. Keep up the good work! Will be back next time I'm in London.

Has to be one of my favourite places in London. Perfect for a catch up with your friends after work and great vibe in the weekend. The staff is absolutely amazing, especially Evan who always made sure to give a great customer experience with his friendly approach and super fast service.

Great bar, and great staff. I booked the place for my friend's birthday and I can say that I've had such a lovely experience. Truly recommend and I also must mention Louis the staff behind everything, he was super lovely and attentive to everyone showing such a kindness for the clients. The Dj is also something to highlight, such an amazing mix of disco, funky and house very well played.

Really friendly bar that feels casual, fun and is very welcome to newcomers to London. Drinks seem reasonably priced and had a great night out with the Mr Bear UK heat. Very happy indeed.

The man that sat next to me had the most beautiful pea coat I’ve ever seen in my life. This bar was fun and with a good vibe. I’d come back anytime

Went for a few drinks pre-theatre. Attracts a slightly older crowd on a Saturday afternoon. Nice ambience, trendy decor and good drink selection. Customer service from the bar staff could be a little warmer. Nice for casual drinks.

Great vibe but not so great service. It’s becoming rather a pattern now that in gay bars across soho you get not so happy bar staff who overcharges for drinks ( single G&T and a pint is defo not £17!) and has the audacity to present you with the pdq machine to add gratuity before payment. Gratuity for what exactly?! It’s just annoying and reflects poorly on the place. Shame.

What a great place. Entertainment was second to none. Had great craic here. Have to say it’s a pity about the surly doorman who practically refused us entry, asked to check my backpack. We walked away but came back later and went in the side door 😂 while he was interrogating other prospective punters. No wonder it was quiet on a Sunday evening. Still the entertainment more than made up it. 10/10 for the best entertainment of our weekend in London 👏👏👏

This is a place I’m coming back to for last 16 years. Always great atmosphere, lovely service. This time I got £25 off from my bill for my birthday which I get via email for my birthday. Thank you. We had amazing evening last night 😘

Myself and my partner “tried” to call to this bar one Sunday evening about 6.30pm, we had been here on previous trips to London and found it a fun and friendly bar. As we were about to go in the front door a very unfriendly, smug almost aggressive doorman stood in our way without even saying a word, when I said excuse me he asked us if we’d ever been in here before? We said we had but he still didn’t move, he then for no other reason asked to search my partners bag, when I asked why? He replied because I can, with this I said come on let’s go. This is an extremely poor reflection on a London city centre iconic landmark bar, this is the type of aggression that is 20 years behind the times to a community that has tried for many years to gain equality. A word with door staff on costumer service is very badly needed here. The next time we go to London (2024) we will try this bar again and see is there a different attitude, hopefully there will be and I’ll write a new review.

I have been to the Rupert Street recently for a drink. Staff has always been very pleasant, the atmosphere very good. Very good dj on Sunday evening.

So as the barman start taking my order he notice a girl standing next to me, stopped my order and moved over to her. The guy was quite flirty with the girl he served ahead of me and again with the one after. I just thought it was quite poor service to stop taking a order half way through and switch to another customer.

It's been on the same spot since the ; begging of the time and probably will be there to the end of time. They've renovated the place and it looks more sleek and more 2022 rather the old interior. The one thing that you'll notice immediately is that the prices of the drinks. I think I paif more than £5 for just ginger ale. Not impressed. Staff was nice and friendly. Great to met up for a drink before going to soho, or the bar to have one for the road.

I love this place! It's always fun to visit. Great music and nice environment. Plus, Sebastian is the most positive and cute barman ON EARTH!! STUNNING DRINKS!!

Great bar! Brilliant staff, was served by the wonderful Josh. Lovely find while exploring London. Keep smiling 😁 and drink up 🍹

Loveliest bar i’ve been to. The music is always on point and the cocktails are delicious ( and i can’t forget the full 5hrs of 2 for £12.00 cocktails). The staff are really fun and caring, always interacting with customers. The air conditioning is great for inside and the outside has a good amount of seats & tables for customers. I would highly recommend going to this bar, I am certain you won’t be disappointed!

Went after dinner last Thursday evening for a couple of drinks. Got treated to the drag show that night. Great atmosphere, good service, good music. Highly recommend.

After years of not being in London, I recently visited this charming gay bar. The bartending staff, particularly one young bartender, stood out for their exceptional warmth and friendliness. I believe their name was Evan. Their attentive service and genuine interactions made the experience truly memorable. The bar's ambiance combined with the bartender's kindness created a delightful evening that I won't forget. Would highly recommend! Xx

Stunning venue, great staff and music. I believe I was served by James and Connor at the bar and both were really friendly and professional. 10/10 vibes and the prosecco is a sure party starter.

Amazing bar with a great atmosphere. The staff is very nice and friendly. Especially Sabina is so sweet. I'll be happy to come back here.

Amazing music on the weekend, DJ really brought the good vibes to the bar Thanks Alex for the great espresso

Thank you to Rupert street and Benji, who was very charismatic and joy to be served by, always making us feel welcomed 🩵🩵

Alex Provided us with great drinks throughout the day 😇😇 Thank you Rupert Street Bar!!
