Visited on Saturday evening and it was half empty. No consistency in the drinks prices, depends which member of staff serves ! A bit boring, no one seemed to hang around but just moved on to somewhere better. Which is what did too.

Great selection of drinks. Reduced prices on cocktails at happy hours. Staff are very friendly and the service is excellent. The quality of the food (we tried the snacks) wasn't great. Highly recommended if you are a cocktails fan and would like to try different types of cocktails are reduced prices.

Visited on Thursday night with a party of 7 including my daughter in a wheelchair. The staff at the door were excellent. We were treated like royalty. A ramp was placed on the steps for my daughter. We were ushered down to a table beside the dance floor and had table service.The floor show was incredible. Something for all our party, Old, young, gay and straight. Would highly recommend for a great night out. Special thanks to Nicole in the security team. Service above and beyond. Thanks for a brilliant night.x

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. A friend and I joined the queue to get inside. After a while, I noticed that the bouncers were letting in individuals who werent from the queue. In fact,I observed the club losing many patrons who were standing patiently in the queue because the bouncers were letting other persons in while ignoring the queue. I asked one of the bouncers what was happening. The bouncer stared at me and said nothing. When I asked if he could understand me, he told me that if I didn't want to wait I could get out of the line. My friend and I left and found another club that had great music and a lit dance floor. The management needs to do something about the bouncers. While I respect bouncers, this one was rude . I will never go back to that place.

Great cocktail bar in Soho! We had a wonderful night out! There was new bar staff and she took ages to make cocktails. Otherwise it was all good.

I love Freedom Bar, actually we love Freedom Bar, always great customer experience. Availability and capacity of this place is amazing, we most of the time having our parties here organised by the our lovely company. Great bar, good for a walk-in to have a quick chat,have a drink. Club music and dark space makes fantastic and cocktail-club atmosphere. The staff are lovely caring and attentive. Stylish and most decent place in Soho London!

Yeah we didn’t go for the clubbing vibes that I have read lol. We came for a quick drink in the afternoon and took advantage of the happy hour. There were lots of choices of wines and the staff were friendly. It’s a cosy place upstairs but like I said, we didn’t check out the club downstairs.

What happened to this once fun, and vibrant bar??? Spent many a wonderful night there many years ago. Last visit, some very drunk women on a hen do, dancing to Christmas music with the bar man. Just awful.

I like the atmosphere here but the waiters/ manager are extremely rude. It happened twice already. This last time I was with a good friend enjoying some drinks and the manager brought another 7 people to the table. We felt uncomfortable so we left. I will try to avoid this place. Hope other people will do the same.

I was a regular to this club and had a lot of good and amasing night. Recently I find it very unfriendly and the door men doesn’t really care anymore with their valued(regular) customers. Sorry to say that it’s really disappointing and utterly how this club become very unfriendly. If they don’t change they keep loosing their regulars .

If you wanna wait in a line for over an hour and still not get in this is the vibe for you. Constantly wrist-banding people over the road who had not come out of the venue. A lot Looked like tourists with hats scarves and bag packs so guess dress code is non existent. Go to the off license grab a bottle and find somewhere cozy

I went here with a group of people on a Friday night and had a nice time. However, I notice that they add 10-12.5% onto every purchase of drink. This was mentioned in the Guardian/Telegraph as a sneaky way pubs/bars are getting extra money from customers. Yes this is 'discretionary' but this is unethical as never was anyone charged this on solely drinks purchases where there is no table service nor allocated seating. There is also no guarantee than any of this goes to the bar staff and many businesses just keep it. It means you are paying £13 for a £11 drink (as someone complained to me) or random amounts like £5.72 for a pint (which is cheap for London so like me, I wasn't too bothered). I would recommend people ask to have this charge taken off as it seems like cheating. This is not a restaurant at that time with seating downstairs to eat but simply a bar/club. There is nothing special the bar staff are doing except giving your drink. This is not the USA where you pay to even speak to the staff. Will be more careful next time here...

The first thing I would definitely highlight is the customer service, 5 stars! Drink amazing but the food too which I wasn’t expecting!! Definitely worth it!

Freedom Bar in SOHO is an amazing place to go clubbing. The music is lovely and the ambience is great. There are poles at the center of the club where people can pole dance. I also love the vibe of the people that go there - everyone is just so wild and down to party! Most importantly, the bouncers/door staff are very kind. This was a shock to me as I have experienced being refused entry for no reason, bullying, verbal abuse and manhandling from several bouncers at popular nightclubs! At Freedom they treat you with respect. One of the door staff even told his colleagues to take care of me every time I was there because he said I was a "lovely person." I'm glad I found a nightclub with an amazing vibe, that treats customers with equality, inclusion and respect. In fact, after I discovered Freedom I ended up going 4 more times the same week! Definitely a must-visit if you are in London.

Lovely and stylish gay bar, with a remarkable little club in the basement. Great pop music, relaxed crowd, nice boys (and girls), a few drag shows, fair drink prices, clean. We had a blast there!!

Great clubbing space! I know at least on Friday they have someone in drag do a quick show which is fun. I always come early for the reduced entry fee. A bottle of wine is well priced.

Had the pleasure to be served by Elisa tonight, she was the best waitress we could’ve asked for. Extremely friendly and approachable, made us feel very welcome. Wish you could get this level of service everywhere!

Been to this place a few times before but hadn't been for several years, so some work colleagues of mine decided to go for a Christmas drink last month. I went up alone and I asked the door man what we needed to get in and he said just the COVID pass thing which we all had. I called my colleagues over (only 2 of them) and once he saw them he was like, have you booked? I said no because we never needed to be before. Then he was like, no you can't get in. It was after 10pm and there was absolutely no one inside. Through the window you could see the place was completely empty. I'm thinking he saw my colleagues were slightly older and decided not to let them in. And ageist place that will not see anymore of my money.

Very good place

jean perry was so lovely to me 10/10 he made the whole experience so amazing he made my whole night better come for just his service i insist

Generally a good place to go to. Security though.. Very rude. They told us we can’t hold our jackets in our hands we either have to wear them or take them to the cloakroom where they only take cash and we didn’t have any. And after that the security guy was talking very rude to us so we left

Had the best night! George is an incredible host too.... Will definitely be going back!

Brilliant atmosphere. Clean-cut cocktail bar on the ground floor and amazing cabaret space downstairs. Went on a Monday night where many West End performers come in and sing a song or two until around 11PM or so where they move chairs and establish a dance floor. Intimate and great vibe.

Had a great time with 5 of my friends up until a manger approached and abruptly said our time at the table was up as he had another “big party” for the booth. He moved us all to a tiny table unable to sit us all, slap bang next the till, where we kept getting knocked by the staff, to then see TWO people had been moved to the big booth we had from a table at the back. Poor in all honesty.

Initially found both the front of house and security extremely fair and welcoming. However as the night progressed I witnessed liberties being taken by both when it came to staff (in particular cloak room staff.) I think at this stage it goes beyond saying grabbing or slapping members of staff backsides is in accep. Whether they think it or not as someone who’s worked over 10 years in service it’s intimidating.

Cozy venue and tasty cocktails. Highly recommended for a night out with friends. Bookings essential for weekends.

Highly disrespectful door staff. Bar was empty and no extra guests allowed. Over rated and and under attended for a reason!

Stylish bar, good cocktail and friendly staff Small club with show stage down stairs. Everyone seems welcome here, from young to old, flashy and colorful, with a suit or jeans No matter what you are, you're in good hands here! It's a great place to spend your time!

Literally the worst place in the world. My girlfriend got assaulted and they have to do the draft for a while ago and it is not available on the phone with you to get a new phone and email address

Chris & his team at security are the very best in London. Examples of superior service. Helped me in a time of distress. Always a pleasure.

3 stars because while the performers were amazing, I’m pissed I paid 12£ ($15) for a Caipirinha that was 95% ice with little alcohol in it. It’s like i didn’t even pay for a Caipirinha at all and i feel robbed, and the drink was not even strong it’s like they only added ice and lime juice and forgot to include the alcohol and a real Caipirinha fills the glass. But the performers Monday night were so amazing and the emcee was fantastic

Been there on the 9/9/23 to celebrate my birthday. What ever I say it won’t be enough. We were a party of 20+, from the minute that we arrive Chris, John, Teddy and all the guys on the floor and the bar they went beyond and above to deliver us an excellent service. Never disappointed and definitely we will go back many many times. Thank you all for an amazing night!!!!! Harris

I came here for the first time just before Christmas, a real lovely place full of friendly people and staff! Amazing cocktails and entertainment too. A staff member from my first visit that worked in the cloakroom named Saffron I think, was an absolute angel to me. Super polite and enthusiastic and assured me my belongings would be safe with her in the cloakroom. Since my first visit Saffron has sadly left, she was such a gem

Hope last night was a one off but what was going on with the music - it was so straight and bloody awful! White wine was warm too :-( doorman was really friendly when we arrived! Oh and service charge of £2 when we had to order drinks at the bar ourselves…. sorry no thanks…

Best cocktails and amazing vibes Reminds me of New York's speak easy style bar. Its a real gem in London authentic , elegant with charming staff

First time at Freedom bar, it was a great experience. Was served by George for most of the night who was incredibly friendly and a great barman. Will be going again.

Bar staff were very friendly and welcoming, good cocktails, however the bouncers were extremely rude and had an attitude problem from the momentwe went in to the moment we left.

Very nice layout, nice food and nice drinks, the staff are absolutely amazing. They are all very friendly and polite, I would go back just to receive such an amazing customer service! The pricing is also very reasonable, it’s such a lovely place to go after having a dinner somewhere near there.

Went here for some quick drinks, Happy Hour special, also ordered some Buttermilk Chicken Strips - they were lush!

Fantastic night at the Kinky Cabaret! Great drinks, great atmosphere. Will for sure return. Especially for this event!

Positive: Drag performance was good. Drinks service at the bar downstairs was quick which is great because no one likes slow service when it’s busy. Negatives: The staff attitude seriously needs some major improvement. The lady collecting entry fees did not look at customers, didn’t say hello, let alone have a smile on her face. Didn’t mention the price. Literally just shoved the payment device into your face and then rudely handed over the wristband. Maybe due to covid she was asked not to put it on for guests. I’m not sure. But that first impression was already so bad!!!! She either needs to take on another role or just move on to another place because a bad first impression is hard to make up for eventually. And it didn’t stop there. When waiting in line to store our belongings at the cloak room, security rudely said “store your bags or get out”. That was uncalled for. Oh and it certainly didn’t end there. The lady working at the cloak room had such an attitude. She didn’t smile. Simply asked for initials and shoved the device in your face and gave you the ticket and told you not to lose it. While I can understand That it is not the most exciting job in the world, at least give a fake smile and a simple thank you and not bring that silly attitude and negative vibes to a place where people just want to have fun and de-stress. I am always polite and friendly to anyone in customer service because there is nothing worse than a sh*T customer who is rude. I say my please and thank you. But to be on the receiving end of receiving sh*T customer service , that’s not right. Would I tell people of the bad experience at Freedom? Of course. Because I don’t want others to experience the lousy attitude and service from the handful of employees who bring the business bad reviews when majority of the other employees are probably amazing.

I find Freedom as one of the decent clubs in Soho. It’s great fun, has a bar area (upstairs) and a club area (downstairs). Great music and friendly people. However it is definitely not a cheap night out and sometimes getting in could take ages- but that’s pretty much everywhere in Soho lol

It was my first time here with neice and her friends and we had an amazing night. The drinks were a little pricy but the drag show we watched was phenomenal and that made up for it. It was a great experience that night and had so many laughs. 10/10 from me. Thank you.

As a preface, I work in service industry so have no issue paying service charge for good work. I actually like the vibe there, however, without solicitation charging 12.5% service for BAR service is outrageous. When I queried this the rude N. American lady said that's just how it is. Well, the law requires you mention it and that it is optional. Effectively, the menu is incorrect pricing.

Stumbled in with a group on a recommendation from a friend. Upper floor is more lounge-y, basement is wild, packed, and very fun. Drinks are slow and pricey but tbh you’re there to slide down a pole so gotta give a little. Staff were more than accommodating to an issue we had and were all hands on deck. Def go. Everyone is very friendly. Visited 12/8/22

Celebrated my birthday at Freedom Bar. My group was 20 people. Staff were great especially Rebecca & Lewis. Would recommend this venue for a good night out.

Not changed too much in the many years I've been going! Love that!

I love that place, happy people and nice drinks.

Good bar

Not that great anymore. Awkward spacing, bar staff are not nice, too loud.

Long time waiting for a drink. Bar staff were too busy talking

Cozy and friendly.

Great drinks, great ambiance and overall a great experience! I would highly recommend this place to anyone although you might want to book a table before turning up or else you might be stuck in a queue.

Nice place

Terrible service.Were told to wait for table service a few times due to Covid. Left after 30 mins of waiting. Not even busy.

Great cocktails (the lady bartender makes the best cocktails) super friendly service too. Always drop in whenever we are in the area :)

Very rude service

It's always fun if a little crowded, they take bookings for birthdays etc. which is a good option for a dance.

Booked a table for the halloween event on 31st October which was advertised as a night of entertainment (drag queens, west end performers etc) but was not told when booking a table that this was only downstairs. Was not given a choice of where our table was, so we found ourselves upstairs with no entertainment. This booking was made via phone, speaking to the venue and we were still not told about where the entertainment was, or given a choice for the table. A cocktail hour was also advertised on the menu, until 8pm (no days specified) and on arrival at the venue we were told this was only Monday to Thursday. All in all, incredibly disappointing.

Fun place, good night out usually. There have been a couple of times that I have been here and witnessed creepy behaviour/arguments which is why I have given 4 stars but nothing so terrible that I wouldn't go back. This place caters for all clientelle and people can go and be themselves which is really nice.

The Show was excellent, only one fault was the smoke machine puffing out damp air which is always a worry, but, more especially with a new virus around ☹️

Great bar! I came here with my friend and it was nice - we only stayed for one drink because downstairs wasn't open yet. It got quite busy which was good. Reminds me a lot of larger be at one's.

Such nice staff and the drinks are so good. Very different from the other places around town and I really enjoyed the happy atmosphere. Our waiter was so polite and very friendly and he made us feel very welcome and asked us to come back and see him again sometime. Very nice to be treated like you are important to the business.

This place is fun and it's open until late! There's no entrance fee and drinks are affordable. Service is great!

Very friendly staff and good cocktails.

Quick drink before the company Christmas do... Turned out to be better than the main event. Good atmosphere, nice drinks, service seemed a bit slow but the bar was rammed so fair enough!

Tried to go tonight with a friend visiting from overseas & got refused entry as we didn't have reservations. WTAF..... Never needed reservations in the past.

Great Venue...Great Atmosphere

Not the best, just ok

(Translated by Google) Location pretty fancy (Original) Endroit assez fancy

Nice place with great ambiance

The bouncers think this place is some sort exclusive night club. Other than that, the drinks are nice enough, the music little mediocre. But then again your spaying £5.59 a cocktail so you get what you pay for.

Great vibe downstairs HQ

It is a pleasant place with friendly staff. Drinks are a bit pricey. Nice surrounds, quality sound system downstairs.

Great place, great atmosphere, good for late drinks and a bit of a dance

What a wonderful night! Super accommodating, really friendly staff. Was there for my birthday to watch Kinky Kabaret and the show was fabulous, the venue was gorgeous, really fun music, great atmosphere in the audience and brilliant vibes all round... And I got a free bottle of fizz to celebrate turning 27! I changed my party numbers a couple of times and the woman I was emailing was really helpful & the door staff on the night were super chill. Could not have wished for a better place to dance the night away x

So much fun to be had in here. Loved it!

Fantastic night!

Always love it in here!

It's really interesting even being crowded, and crowded is not a bad thing

Great atmosphere and the cocktails are amazing!

Had a really good time celebrating my friend's birthday who suggested to meet there. From 9pm, the downstairs bar is transformed to a club with great music to dance on.

Too crowded and too many drunk girls...

Insane place! Everyone likes to spin on the poles like we were little kids. Drinks good and music good.

Rude security and awful service.

Dreadful experience with Freedom club. Some friends and I were going out for my birthday and we had booked an area at the club. The club staff didn’t let us in because according to them, we were 5 minutes late and we “hadn’t called to let them know”. The time of arrival was made clear when we booked and we weren’t late at all. The door staff was disgusting and the club manager was just outrageous.
