Great gay pub in the heart of Soho. Been there for ages but doesn't feel dated and tatty. Friendly staff and great selection of drinks. Usually quite busy, even weekdays when you would expect it to be slow. A great place to dive in for a pint or two.

I loved the vibe at this place. We had beer and i loved the interior, we went in the afternoon so it was pretty chill. The service was good and i loved the interior.

I was taken to Comptons for the first time since lock down, great atmosphere and staff. Friendly and would recommend either inside or out, the staff appeared to know what they were doing even in these difficult COVID times. Great to see the old place alive again !

Love this bar, the atmosphere inside is cozy with all the wood (no pun intended haha) around the place. Toilets are clean. Bar staff varies in terms of friendliness so I subtract one star, I usually just have a cider and I think it's a reasonable price for a London venue. Met and spoke to a few people there a few times :) I don't know if it's a London thing but it seems like there might be cliques? Sometimes I found that just smiling at someone was met with a blank stare or turning the head away which is kinda sad in a social situation, but hey that's not the bar's issue. Will be happy to keep going back and I absolutely recommend it when visiting Soho 😁

Last night (Monday), I came for first time here with my best mate who is living in US. Strangely, as long as I knew, there was Happy hour for some of the drinks (£2,95). The bar team served a guy before me, who actually ordered the very same drink as me, and charged him £2,95 - I was charged £5,15. These £2,20 are not going to change my life, but it is disrespectful. Service was okay, just the short boy - I believe he is italian, is quite rude.

Great bar, very friendly staff & a fantastic atmosphere! Love this place. Daniele is my absolute favourite! Always provides service with a smile on his face!

I had an amazing experience! Drinks were great. Atmosphere was friendly and comfortable. And the staff were PERFECT. Thanks to Dan for being a face to remember!!! Xx

Great decor, warm atmosphere, friendly, attitude-free bartenders, no drama and drinks are still served in glass, which is a great bonus! This is actually one of few (or maybe even the only one) gay bars that actually serves drinks in proper glasses rather than cheap plastic that just trashes the planet. I applause them for that 👍

Very busy weekend evenings. Very noisy. Lots of customers pushing each other around to get round the room. Some good and nice bar staff though.

Love this place. Got bloody expensive but all of stonegates Gay bars are. Over £7 a pint. They own them all so can rip of the gays all they want. Such a shame when they own so many bars!!! Stops us from going to these venues when we are supposed to support our community.

We had a great time there. The staff was friendly and fun. Was a wonderful place to meet with our UK buddies. Thanks for the great hospitality!

Never had the food but its very good manly bar. Drinks a little pricey but that's to be expected. Good friendly middle age crowd.

My favourite gay venue. Always pay a visit every time I stay in London. Prices very reasonable. Great atmosphere and lovely friendly bar staff

I have been going to Comptons for decades. Hadn't been for a long while. It was always a vibrant pub where people used to talk to each other. You were never alone for long without making friends. So I was looking forward to visiting again. Now, guys don't look at you, let alone talk! Even the older regulars kept to their own little cliques. Out of anyone, they should know better to be inclusive. Such a great pub once. I don't think I'll be going back in a hurry. The three stars are for the great memories when Comptons was fun and people didn't just stare ahead of them or give shady looks. Oh, and the bar staff were rude and unless you were Adonis, they weren't even going to bother being polite. So sad.

Busy and big historic gay bar in central Soho. Atracts a slightly older crowd and known for those looking to 'meet'. Usually packed after work up to closing, with friendly staff serving as quick as possible.

We had a great time celebrating with my husband at Comptons. Anthony the GM was a true gentleman and reserved us a great table to see in the NY. The staff were all lovely, friendly and great bartenders. Thank you for having us and for the great hospitality. Xx

Visited Comptons with a friend last week. Had a great time, met some lovely locals as well as tourists such as myself. All in all a fun must check out spot if you are passing through SoHo.

This place holds a special place in my heart. I come back here whenever I can. Fantastic, friendly atmosphere, really nice staff and great music on a Friday night. Not the Grand Dame of Soho for nothing 😀

Not a local, so I was wandering around and fancied a pint in a gay/queer-friendly pub. The man who served me was very pleasant, but when I asked where the toilets were he directed me to the women's toilet and not the men's. I'm a (passing, imo) trans guy, so that kinda bummed me out as I wanted to feel safe and have a pint around other queer men. Nice enough atmosphere though! But yeah, trans guys, especially if you're a lil-femme, just be aware.

Went in with the wife while on a pub crawl. Absolutely the best night ever. People are so nice. Downside was waiting outside the women's toilets holding the wife Radley bag

Apologies this review has been a long time coming. A big shout out to the barman William (with the blue cardigan) who looked after our birthday group. Impressed with the service provided and his knowledge of wines and going to the trouble to bring out several bottles as we were all undecided and rather demanding. Despite booking a table in advance we had to wait for the previous occupants to clear off. the staff handled it well and we were well looked after so thank you Compton's!

The staff were so lovely - we were in a group of young girls and some men came to speak to us. The staff were so kind and came to check if we were okay and offered to help us if we wanted - we appreciated it so much!! Shout out to the man in the blue top on the top bar ❤️

Absolutely legendary pub. The atmosphere is always giving, and the staff are the best in soho. Huge shout out to the Deputy Managers Han & Seàn who are simply impeccable at their jobs 🩵

I visited Compton's in late May with a friend and was overjoyed with the experience I had. It was our first time our post-lockdown and we were naturally apprehensive about how things would be operating. The bar was clean and lively with clear protective measures in place for the safety of both staff and customers. The service was quick and polite. A great bar to check out if you're in Soho

I went to this place yesterday night for a few drinks and I loved it!! Daniele the bartender is super fun and they have the shiniest floor I've ever seen!! 🙈Honestly, that floor is worth a visit!

I take my hat off to Compton's who seem to be juggling the covid-19 restrictions with such aplomb and accommodating my booking with a preference to venture upstairs. The grand piano has long since gone but it was a thrill to be back at the Grand Old Dame of Soho. Fellow patrons were also respectful of the covid-19 restrictions which created a safe, convivial and pleasant atmosphere, so much so, that when I mentioned me and my friends would like to stay longer than our allotted slot they juggled their bookings to accommodate us.

Great bar, great staff and lovely atmosphere. Just back from weekend in London and we spent some great time in this bar. Thank you all for making our weekend great x 👏👏👏

I came here a couple weekends ago with a friend of mine and was thoroughly impressed with the hospitality of the staff. The managers were incredibly friendly and accommodating and the bar staff were so enthusiastic. It’s so nice to go to a place where the environment seems like everyone is genuinely happy being there. The prices were also great for a pub in Soho which was a nice plus! We had a lovely evening and will definitely be back soon.

Went here last night for a couple drinks with my partner; our first night in the capital. Lovely pub, victorian style; although a bit smelly. Some customers were quite rude and making comments about the fact that “straight people shouldn’t be allowed in gay venues” (which is nonsense to me) considering we have always supported and respected the LGBT community. However, the barman Dan made us feel very welcomed, offered a quick and friendly service and gave us suggestions on what to do in London and other venues to visit around as we are spending a week in town. Definitely made up for the rude customers! Drinks are a bit pricey but it’s London I guess.

Great atmosphere. I’ve been coming for years and always have a fantastic time. The staff is very nice and friendly. I applause Anthony for looking after his team so well. I always come back as much as I can.

Amazing place. The absolute centre of Soho. As I entered I connected with the deep assure blue of the Barman’s (Christian) eyes. Never before had I seen such beauty in a man. I immediately knew I was in the best places in London, and spent the night drinking and dancing, surrounded by amazing people. Like a wild lucid dream of hope and enlightenment. 5/5 would go again.

One of the best Gay pubs in westend first place I visited in the early 80s as a shy scared teenage boy now 58 and still going there and there do a great pint of London pride 🥰

Had a cracker of a time here! I'd arranged to meet a tinder date here but he bailed so I was feeling pretty miffed as I'd already bought a drink. The barman, Reece, was very sympathetic and engaged me in conversation, and before too long I'd forgotten all about it! He was a total charmer (sadly already taken) and basically rescued my night. The bar seems to attract a friendly clientele, and one group took me under their wing and showed me a fantastic time. I ended up pulling one of them and patching work the next day! Topper! Thanks Reece (and another of the staff whose name I've sadly forgotten)

Awful experience in this place. Member of staff on bar, named Alexandro (or something similar), was rude all night and singled out our black friend. She was treated differently, refused drinks, continuously asked for her ID even though she had given it MULTIPLE times. She was given no explanation as to ehy this was happening, then told she was rude and had 'too much attitude' when she questioned (POLITELY) why she was the only one who had to give ID multiple times. He ruined the night for us and we will not be returning!

Went for my birthday for the weekend and was recommended by a friend DAN to Give it a good. Had a blast amazing bars great services everything you could ask for highly recommend to others

Yeah bar is good, always nice to have a few drinks, sometimes the dramatics behind the bar can be a bit annoying. Also I don't think it's appropriate for a bar person to be snogging their bf or random squeeze either across the bar or at the doorway, it would be appropriate in any bar, that's my opinion anyway. Nice to have some level of preffesionalism

I love this place in London, I had a great time with my friends. The barman Dan is fantastic, always nice and kind. I hope to come very soon again

Every time I go here, its amazing. The door staff I've interacted with (Mike & Dave) are super friendly, so are the bar staff. Prices could be cheaper based on the fact Stonegate own all pubs on the road, but I get why it isn't, the ambience is great. Highly recommended pub. 😁

We had a lovely experience in the Upstairs Lounge on Sunday evening! I booked for some family and friends for my son's 21st Birthday pre - dinner Drinks and we all had a fab time and were very well looked after by Hayden. The atmosphere in the Lounge is relaxed and chilled - it's a very attractive space and we will definitely go there again! Such sweet and attentive staff in Comptons. Thank you! Naomi .

Visited a couple of weeks ago and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was vibrant and the staff were polite, friendly and welcoming especially Emma. I would highly recommend a visit!
