    Too exclusive for commoners like me, I guess, certainly not welcoming. I went there all the way from Soho on opening day to support this new LGTB business, just to be told at the door that you need a ticket since it is a private party (no mention of that in their advertising). I was also informed that tomorrow is the same apparently, but I can come on Sunday. Nah, I don’t think so. Good luck though

    Congratulations to Jade and David for opening this amazing venue, even though they were so busy, they still managed to be so friendly and welcoming as you would expect from any gay venue. Well recommended!!! Definitely my drinking spot 😍

    Came here tonight without expecting too much but what I've seen blew me away... I came to zodiac to support my friend for a karaoke contest and here I was thinking that it would be a drunken cheap Sunday night and what I witnessed really felt like an off-West End Show, wow! The venue is impeccable! Clean, colourful, with lovely staff and very brilliantly lit toilets (that's important!) The host of the night (whom I believe is Oz or Os) was absolutely amazing as he came up to all of us made us feel at home! (brilliant singer as well!) The whole night was amazing! So many amazing singers but also quite balanced so those of us who just wanted to sing for fun were VERY welcome as well! I can't wait to be back next week Sunday, such great vibes, thank you!

    I have only been here a few times but when I have! it has been one of the friendliest bars I have been into in London for a long time, Please don't come here if you want a segmented narrow minded bar like a lot of gay bars in London now! Even though we in the gay community like to think we are not judgemental lol! , come with an open mind and I can assure you will find a friendly atmosphere and people you can talk too, Lacking in a lot of London bars, The live singers are amazing especially the talented singer from behind the bar 👏

    I had the perfect pleasure of hosting a karaoke event at the Zodiac, and had an utterly fantastic time! The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, the vibes were on-point, and everyone had a great time that went on to the early hours of the morning. The venue is welcoming, inclusive and instantly makes you feel like you're at home the moment you step through the door. I look forward to spending many more evenings at this marvellous bar and club!

    The vibe at Zodiac is amazing! Dee and Jade are incredible hostesses, singers and dancers (literally nothing they can’t do) and they helped to make my birthday so memorable. My friends and I felt free to be ourselves, which is not always the case even in other queer bars. We will be back soon!

    I went to Zodiac for a special party and what an amazing place. There was karaoke, Dee Chanelle was singing, she rockssss great entertainment, it is free entryyyy, uhhh la laaaaa😍😍😍The cocktails about £10 and the mocktails is about £6. The interior design and lifting is amazing. There is toilets, even thought the venue was packed the toilets were still okay 😁😅👍I had so much fun. I am now back for the second time. The cliente is mostly gentlemen but there are also beautiful Goddesses.Miss Gendered has joined Dee Chanelle this time. Cliente is really cool here. I highly recommend this venue. Blue Arres lovesss you All👼🏼💙💎😇🐍💜❤️🖤🤍💙🕴️🌊🔥🌈🌍🌐🌀✌️💫✨

    Went based on a show promoted, in outsavvy, that show was not only great & full of laughs [+ amazing vocals], the cocktails (by a talented bartender) were delicious. Music in both levels were great & very convenient to have. Staff is so fun & kind, overall very great venue.

    Hi! I’ve been to Zodiac a few times and wanted to write a review based on my always positive experience. Zodiac is one of the most welcoming accepting LBGTQ+ bars in London. Everybody there creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere which makes for a really enjoyable night. I’ve seen a few performers who play crowd pleasing songs and get the crowd going. Most recently I went with my dance group and Zodiac cornered a section off for us. The staff are all so lovely I can’t recommend it enough!

    I was in zodiac bar when the open today and it was good until about 7 when i went out for a smoke when i went back I found that they close the bar and told me its received for a party i was astonished because no body told me before the funny part was when I called the owner and she humiliated me with some Arabic words she knows without accepting my complain . I figured out that the problem from the owner herself after we spoke on the phone. She was looking for Specific customers so there is no need to allege one falge one love when she sent me to lower floor so her regular customers don’t see me I found it’s dirty and hot and without any service

    Amazing gay bar in north London. This place is fresh with modern decor it serves good drinks and have best Dj music and drag shows. Toilettes are label free which is nice and not ncie at the sameas men tend to be messy. But the decore with pink paint just makes them perfect. It is a must visit place especially when they have drag shows. And It is literally LGBTQ+ so girls and trans preps this is a place u will surely like.

    Went there last night was so lovely and the drag queen was unreal and the bar staff were brilliant But we had an issue with one of the Security guards , we were outside of one of the shops having a drink which was not on there premises. I am a bouncer myself and you are allowed to drink on different premises but not one the premises on the club. we spent a lot of money there last night and one of the stated stated “ that’s the most amount someone has spent here on one bill” Was really enjoying the night until the bouncer gave me an attitude of a 15 year old & they were abour 20 years older then myself. stated I had an attitude because I asked “why aren’t we allowed in could you explain please?” But we previously went back in & the bouncers didn’t stop us.:. Then came in after us to start we weren’t allowed in. So why let us in if we weren’t allowed in because “ we were drinking and it wasn’t a hangout venue” once again we were not on your premises we were outside of the shops premises next door which is there premises. Unless one of the group drank outside the premises without us realising then I don’t know. There was about 16 of us there and as previously stated we spent a lot of money. Everything else was amazing the drag , atmosphere , music all sorts but what ruined it was the one Security officer and she also stated “I don’t want the hassle of my manager” which I found was also unprofessional & no polite towards the manager. Apart from that I’d like to thank you for a great night until that one Security guard ruined it.

    I truly believe this is the best gay bar in London. It is by far the most welcoming, accepting place for EVERYONE in the community! I have never had a bad experience here, like I have in so many other gay bars in London. It is such a happy place full of amazing people and atmosphere. Jade does an amazing job, I can’t recommend it enough 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

    We joined the karaoke night and had so much fun! The venue is clean and cosy. I love the friendly atmosphere in the club and the drinks are very affordable too. A great venue if you want to avoid the busy Soho.

    You will not find somewhere with a better atmosphere in London. Fab parties, specialist nights like underwear parties, trans nights, karaoke, amazing drag hosts. From the door staff, bar, and hosts all friendly, fun and hospitable. We love ZODIAC at Soho fc. 🧡🧡🧡

  • 5/5 Max D. 10 months ago on Google
    Friendly atmosphere and helpful staff. We have our event here 3x a year the soundsystem is brill perfect for club/event nights.

  • 5/5 Calvin W. 11 months ago on Google
    I recently had my birthday celebrations here and had an absolute blast!! The staff are all friendly and accommodating, always making sure we were happy with everything. Zodiac always has a comfortable yet lively atmosphere and I highly recommend it if you are looking for a private or semi-private hire! You can also have karaoke, run your own playlist or use of the stage all for a very affordable deposit.

  • 5/5 Zarina 10 months ago on Google
    Came last night with my friends and the atmosphere was incredible even for a Tuesday! Theres karaoke and great drinks all night. The owner and staff are absolutely incredible and welcoming it’s so great to be in queer owned venues - absolute must visit

  • 5/5 Yiannis C. 5 months ago on Google
    Zodiac has such a friendly inclusive vibe. I chose this venue for my event as it has a great sound system (very important for a singer!) wonderful helpful staff who made promo, ticketing set up and getting the sound right on the night really easy and smooth. The venue has a great buzzy atmosphere, a ‘club’ feel with really inviting glam decor. I can’t wait to hold my next event there!

  • 5/5 Victorinoff H. 5 months ago on Google
    We celebrated my wedding there. It was very nice, cosy and fun. We had our wedding during the day reception at home and then party in Zodiak. Staff was very kind, a lot, Ron is a unique kind person. He decorated the VIP area for us. Our guests were very happy. We had the karaoke available since 6 pm up to the drag queen show. Also mine Straight friends had fun and the place is a safe place. Everyone was just about celebrating us. I recommend it guys.

    Such a lovely venue! Popped in after my birthday meal on Thursday and security immediately got me a shot after finding out. Everyone was so friendly and it was a breath of fresh air. Looking forward to returning.

    David and Jade what a fab venue great balance. My partner died in February her friend I wanted somewhere to exchange gifts and toast her memory. Zodiac hit the spot. We met others frequenting for the first time. Thanks for such a friendly welcome good music friendly bar staff and clean toilets. Have a fabulous New Year's Eve 🥳 wishing you all success for 2022 Anita and Colette 💛

    Really grateful for this new LGBTQ+ place to open in central London. The place looks lovely and the people working there are so nice and friendly. The music is great and performers are really good. It is such an inclusive place and it feels welcoming and safe to be ourselves there. It is clear that the owner definitely put a lot of efforts to make Zodiac bar a fantastic experience. Would definitely recommend and will be coming back!

  • 5/5 Onur Uz (. 2 years ago on Google
    exactly what the London LGBTQ+ scene needed; super friendly and professional staff, great drinks, amazing sound system and a 7-days-a-week non stop fun. I am so proud to see Jade and David are behind this great venue along with their brilliant team. It is more thana venue but a family and a community. Super easy location too! Close to central London, Camden even East London <3 Cant wait to be back

  • 5/5 Gregg W. 2 years ago on Google
    Last night was my first visit to Zodiac but definitely won’t be my last! All the staff are really friendly, the management are visible and approachable. The venue feels warm, safe and most of all an inclusive space for everyone in the queer community. I really hope it’s around for many years to come!!!

  • 4/5 Daniel W. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a Good night, thank you. Bar staff attentive smiley. The owner was there, glamorous warm and funny. It’s really cool having a new LGBT venue slightly closer to home. Will be coming back.xx

  • 5/5 Steven C. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing Bar!!! Just what the area needed! Great entertainment and the staff are wonderful, especially the young ginger barman who didn't stop dancing as he was serving all night. Couldn't recommend the place enough if you're in the area

  • 5/5 Tere G. 1 year ago on Google
    Really great vibes. The energy here is so bright and cheerful. Tutu on Wednesdays puts on a great show - 5 stars ✨😍

  • 5/5 Nick �. 2 years ago on Google
    Finally a London gay bar that plays real music- songs with lyrics from 90s/00s. Could have done without the drag show (they’re so overdone can’t the gay scene move on) but otherwise a great venue.

  • 5/5 Lilly D. 1 year ago on Google
    An outstanding venue! Attended for clrz event, DjYazzLdn pumping all the good music. The vibe was just overly lit, staff were amazing would so recommend going here as I will be back!

  • 5/5 Nikki C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely incredible vibe! Came here last week for an anniversary night out with my fiancée. Drinks were amazing and the staff are SO friendly. Definitely my new favourite spot in London. I ended up losing my fiancée's prescription sunglasses during the night and spent the following days searching frantically. Luckily I messaged via Instagram and the wonderful Jade managed to find them for me! Incredibly grateful for the amazing customer service and general all-round friendliness from all of the staff. Would definitely recommend a visit here!

  • 5/5 Arafat R. 1 year ago on Google
    As a brand new establishment @Zodiac -Bar & Club has done so much for the LGBTQ+ community by creating not only a safe space but also a diverse one. It's one of the many few clubs in LONDON which take pride in exclusivity. Everyone is welcome here with a very friendly approach. Fantastic Bar staff/service. I must have to mention JADE@ mother of ZODIAC bar, she is just amazing and mantra to GOOD TIME :) Also, amazing Security Officers who are always working towards safety and comfort for all the guests. I have eye-witnessed security manager @Michael stand against people who tried to cause disturbance near the club, he was vocal amd clear about the rules and regulations of the establishment and around the area. All im going to say is if you are in LONDON OR visiting, please go check out @ZODIAC.

  • 5/5 Aidan R. 1 year ago on Google
