What a brilliant venue! An iconic Bar, Close to Trafalgar Square and with a lovely team that go the extra mile. Brilliantly organised days and nights and lots of great acts on top. A real must visit venue that rightly, is one of the best well-known LGTBQI venues in London. The Team there always look after us so well too, Mark, Ange and of course Heather too. It's a must visit. They do a fantastic job of running a fully inclusive space in one of the most challenging areas in London ❤️🏳️‍🌈

This is the first gay bar I have ever been in London. I am such a huge fan of drag queens so when one of our friends told about this small bar I never hesitated. The drag performance id happening at the basement of the bar. The place is quite small but the performance never disappoints. The performers were good and funny. Highly recommended!

Some things don't need change, and this is one of those venues. Love the staff and the drag. Always a fantastic and friendly welcome Never disappointed Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to the LGBTQi+ community

A fabulous venue with fabulous staff and fantastic shows Such a great place to meet ,drink and relax whilst having fun. Go and visit there you won’t be disappointed. We are happy to call this pub our local .

Halfway to Heaven is a fantastic bar. The staff are friendly, attentive and reassuring. The venue is covid secure and so I felt safe going there. We went to a Monday night show that focuses on the new, upcoming queens of the scene. A fantastic opportunity for the less established to showcase their talents. Would most definitely recommend Halfway to anyone who wants a fun, safe and friendly night.

Visited here on a Saturday afternoon for the matinee drag show! What a wonderful experience to enjoy with from and plenty of drinks. If you're on your own, you will quickly make friends. The atmosphere is great, and most patrons are friendly 👌

This really is a great little pub. It has a very friendly and welcoming vibe, and is well situated away from the intensity of Soho, if that's not your thing, but with all the glamorous cabaret downstairs if that is! The bar staff are all friendly and very efficient, especially Ange who's probably one of their longest serving members that I can remember. I would highly recommend this place if you want a relaxed break in a no attitude place where everyone is welcome. Well done Team Halfway!

Had a fabulous NYE at Halfway this year, as with all nights (not just NYE) the staff were all fantastic, there was a lovely friendly atmosphere, the cabaret acts were stunning and the special touches for NYE (such as the decorations, glass of champagne on arrival and midnight) made it an extra special night. I couldn't think of a better place to ring in the New Year, here's to more visits in 2023!

What a cracking venue, cabaret and fun every day of the week - The drag show CK Sunday is always a right royal laugh. A safe place for all, with friendly staff (especially Craig and Nick) and reasonably priced drinks as a bonus. Definitely worth a visit if your in town, you’ll leave with a smile.

Had the pleasure of spending London Pride at Halfway to Heaven 2022. The day was full of drag/cabaret performances and they were all fabulous. The staff were extremely busy but every time we went to the bar they were full of smiles and checking that we were all having a fun day. Outside there was bar called Queen Kelly’s bar where you could also get served even by Queen Kelly herself. We felt safe and had so much fun. Thank you Halfway to heaven for making pride a celebration to remember.

My Husband and I are regulars at Halfway, and appreciate the attention and service of the staff, and in particularly James and Marsha who both give us fabulous service. Marsha is a friendly welcoming face that has become part of the what makes this place so great, and James is a wonderful host with a great attention to detail. Highly recommend the venue and look forward to our next visit, and catch-up with Marsha and the crew.

I have been to Halfway several times now and it hasn’t disappointed at all. It’s one of the few remaining safe LGBT venues. The friendly staff are always so welcoming , great atmosphere and there’s fab entertainment downstairs every time I’ve been. Halfway To Heaven is the perfect place to start your evening or to end your night !

Good drinks, good times! Came in on a Monday as this bar has shows every night of the week! Had a lovely warm welcome from the staff upstairs. Nice chilled ambience. Headed downstairs to see Miranda, it was a great atmosphere, plenty of audience participation. It's great to have a safe, clean and welcoming LGBTQ place in this part of town.

My first time in Halfway to Heaven and what a great night we had. I loved the drag act in the bar downstairs, haven't smiled and laughed so much in a long time. Both bars are cosy but very clean and there was generally a friendly atmosphere. Everyone was out for a good time. Thank you. I'll definitely be back.

As a regular if Halfway I can assure anyone that you are due a cracking day/night if you choose to visit. There is cabaret every day of the week, to suit all ages and preferences… Old school to Ru Paul! The staff are friendly, attentive and considered with special mention to the management team who kept us all safe during COVID… well worth a visit! 5*

Prompt service. Reasonable prices. Very little seating. We went in to avoid rain and wait for our train. Did not realise that it was a gay pub till we got in. Wife and I enjoyed ourselves.

Way back in 2003 this was the first gay pub I had been to. I was 19 and scared to death in Hull as it was a horrible place to be gay. I came to London to meet a guy that I randomly texted one number below mine. I remember it was about midday and the staff were really nice... Been a few times since obviously. I now live in London, but if there is anyone reading this, the staff have been nice there for about 21 years. Deceptively larger pub than it looks on the outside but still small. Iconic pub.

If there were ten stars for atmosphere, id give it. Twice I've been here, Both times, are my favourite nights ever in London. Side splitting funny, great music, fantastic entertainment. And I'm straight !!!!

Fantastic venue...so much love for this place as been going for several years. The cabaret is so varied and fun. Drinks are reasonable in price..particularly good value on Mondays! Heather the manager and her team work so hard and it shows...I have so much love for Ange behind the bar who always welcomes me. Do stop by for this gem of a venue.

Great location if waiting for a train or to meet people at Charing Cross. Decent priced beer, and good friendly atmosphere regardless of sexuality.

I travel for work all over the country and like to visit different LGBT bars where I can. This is the first time I have been here and my first impressions are really good. the bar staff are very very kind and helpful about mentioning different locations to visit in the local area, the entertainment is brilliant also! its a nice place to meet up with friends! I would recommend stopping by!!

i went in few days ago, as a gay guy now 60 i just felt quite low, just wanted wee chat and that, but for Christmas atmosphere the xmas dacs where lovely, i got a mulled wine that was nice, but could not find a seat, back in the 80s 90s the gay scene was much more welcoming, you just dont fell you have that safe space any more, i feel more fearful now and takes a lot of courage just to go into a gay venue, its all about money now. We need to take a long hard look at how things are today, and make the gay scene inclusive. Thank you for your kind words, i think i was just feeling low, christmas can be sad time of year, over all the staff where friendly and i did chat with one member of staff, he was very nice, i will pop in again, the mulled wine was lovely, bless you.

Had a fantastic night here watching #Joe and Mrs Moore, they were incredibly funny and talented and we had the best time. They put on a great show and engaged us in between the amazing songs with a good laugh. The atmosphere was friendly and the bar staff were very kind as well. Plenty of drinks and a room full of lovely people.

Best bar in London! Every time we go to London we end our day in H2H - The bar staff are so friendly and welcoming. The drinks are very well priced and the drag shows are probably the best I have ever seen! I will always recommend a visit if your in the area!!!

This gay pub had been there for ages....mixture of crowds mainly older clientele. There's a small dance floor downstairs, when is busy is quite hard to get drinks. Friendly crowd with pop disco music. Worth visiting

The customer service and rudeness of the staff are beyond appalling both over the phone and in person. The arrogance portrayed by the guys at the door made this place unsafe and unwelcoming. Instead of simply saying “I'm afraid, we are full tonight; please come back another time, if you can”, the manager went on to next level of insults to 18 NHS doctors and nurses who just wanted to spend 1 hour in the night to watch a drag show. They made us feel threatened, unsafe and discriminated against. FYI, the bar was not full, and the entertainment was underwhelming for those there earlier.

What can I say.. As an old mum, tagging along with her son for his birthday.. I had the BEST night out for such a long time!!! Letting my hair down, dancing the night away ( told James I'd only stay for one drink!), I was made to feel so welcome. What a brilliant place and great value for money with half price doubles on a Monday night...I have the hangover from hell today, but it's worth it! What a lovely bunch you are! Can't wait to come back! Xx

Honestly one of the best queer spaces in all of London. It’s staff have such a warm and welcoming vibe, ensuring it always feels like home. There’s also a great range of drag/cabaret shows - including special events like the recent Bank Holiday Disney trivia quiz with Tanya Hyde and Craigerbell. A great venue for anyone looking to find a safe space to enjoy their evening.

I’ve been coming for over two years now, especially Sundays, and I always have the best time. Crystal and Kelly are always entertaining. Staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. And the venue always feels safe and inclusive. Thank you for welcoming me to a beautiful family week in week out 🥰

Went to Halfway 2 Heaven for the Hocus Pocus 2 screening and it was the perfect evening. drinks are very reasonably priced. The event was crafted excellently with a wonderful queen Tanya Hyde as the host and lovely bar staff making sure we got served without disrupting the film. would love to see more movie nights at Halfway to heaven

Great to back at Halfway to Heaven. I was pleased to see that it's pretty much the same which is a delight as its fine as it is. The staff work so hard on a busy Sunday at any time, ad on covid and they work harder. The do this well, so clean and safe feeling and the don't cut corners when turning round the tables. I think its the best cabaret venue in the west end and love Sundays there with my friends. CK show were safe behind screens, still as much fun and worked hard to keep the atmosphere fresh. Heather and team should have more starts than 5. please pass this on.

Absolutely Fantastic night. Travelled Down to see Miranda Jane perform, and I did not regret it one bit. Entertainment at its finest. Had such a great time. Never waited for a drink and the staff were very helpful. The table service was faultless and everyone was super friendly and welcoming. Can't wait to come down again. 🥰

Halfway to Heaven is without a doubt my favourite cabaret venue. We always have a fantastic time, filled with quality entertainment and lots of laughs. In particular, we enjoy coming to watch the fabulous Rose Garden of a Saturday afternoon. The staff are without fail, friendly, welcoming and always smiling, which creates a lovely atmosphere. I have recently introduced some friends to Halfway and they have mentioned that they also really enjoyed themselves and would absolutely like to visit again.

Visited Halfway on Saturday night to enjoy a drink and some great cabaret. The staff were friendly, welcoming and attentive. The venue was clean and tidy and tables/surfaces were constantly sprayed and wiped down. This is a lovely venue and safe haven for all members of the LGBTQ+ community and its allies. Will absolutely be returning again.

Such a great atmosphere. Like a family home. Staff very knowledgeable and always remember you. Amazing to see shows there especially at the weekends in the afternoons. There is something for everyone during the week and everyone is welcome.

Love Halfway, I’ve been going for years and have had the best nights here. Free entry to some of London’s best drag acts, or if you want a quiet drink, you can just sit upstairs. The team are so friendly and there’s a real family feel to the pub.

Came here for a cabaret show on Monday evening and had an excellent time! The service was good and the staff were all friendly. Compared to a number of venues I have been to, their social distancing measures were good, especially for a smaller venue. Definitely would recommend this fabulous LGBTQ pub.

Wow what a fabulous night we all had on Saturday, 50 years of pride! All the acts were amazing and the bar staff all did a brilliant job. Will definitely be back when we're lucky enough to visit London again 😍

Great location, bar and staff, only been a few times and mostly been good night's. But this Saturday sadly I left early because of the comments being made about the Queens and her passing by the drag act the Vixens. I'm all for freedom of speech and everyone is intitled to their opinion and understand what drag is about, but this was in very poor taste.

I absolutely loved Pride (London) yesterday and I reckon I gave my all, some might say too much. London was desperate to show it’s true rainbow colours after a 2 year hiatus. I saw and felt only love within this incredibly diverse community and nowhere was that more evident than Halfway to Heaven. So much incredible entertainment (and no, I wasn’t performing)….but the acts were bloody brilliant. I have to draw attention to the bar staff and security as well. The place was full to the gills and yet they ran it like a well oiled machine. I’m a proud gay man and yesterday made me feel proud to be part of our LGBTIQ community.

Really cool gay pub, always busy on a Sunday for the cabaret, various entertainers that always give you a good show! Bar on two levels, toilets on lower level only. Come visit and leave wanting to stay!

Amazing venue. Polite and courteous staff. Amazing entertainment and the drinks a really reasonable for London. Everyone is always happy in there so it is my happy space too. If you're in London visit Halfway to Heaven.

Had an amazing night at the Hocus Pocus 2 viewing! It was so well thought out and they really made the event special. The drinks, snacks and theme were such a such touch. The staff and show were amazing, I hope they do it again soon!

Looking for a fun night out in attitude free surroundings . Then this is the LGBTQ+ bar for you . I have had many fun evenings in this bar over the last 5 months. The bar staff are quick, efficient and friendly. The cabaret acts I have seen are cutting and sharp as you expect from proper drag queens. The whole place gets bought along for the ride with fun party games and singalongs, no one is left out of the fun. Deffo one to put on your list when visiting London .

Home away from home. Very reasonably priced for central London, staff and door staff are all very friendly - very welcoming safe space. Something for everyone’s taste across the week with the cabaret acts or the perfect spot for a chilled drink upstairs!

I have had some of the best nights out at Half Way. Brilliant atmosphere, amazing drag artist that have you belly laughing and dancing all night long. The staff are fabulous too! Would highly recommend a visit.

Absolutely fantastic venue, totally inclusive and an all round fun experience. The night we went we were entertained by the most sensational queen, woe Addams, an absolutely hilarious night and wow she has a set of pipes, the vocals were west end quality. Staff were very attentive and my glass was not empty long before I was being offered a top up (well it would be rude not to), I can’t wait to go back and visit again, if you are in the area please pop in, if you’re not in the area I would recommend you make the effort to go there. Me and my group travelled up from rural west wales just to visit (from a recommendation) and I’m so glad we did.

The staff are always hard working, never waiting more than a few mins for drinks. Heather the manager is always leading and her staff to make the establishment feel like a safe friendly and calm environment whether you go in for a drink or watch the entertainment down stairs. All the staff are always up for a laugh joke and are always happy and smiling no matter what time of day or night.

We only had a short visit here in London and wow did this pub make it an amazing time. The drag show was such a blast, bartenders were super cool, and the ambiance was immaculate. Definitely going to come back to London for longer and pop by here again. Thanks for the memories that were made.
