Ku Bar

⭐️ Lgbtq friendly
⭐️ Three floors
⭐️ Drag shows
🌙 Late night
🎪 Soho hotspot

Three floors of pure late-night energy make Ku Bar London's ultimate LGBTQ+ playground. The ground floor buzzes with attitude-free conversation, while upstairs the Champagne Bar elevates your night with premium bubbles and Aperol Spritz. Descend to Ku Klub basement where resident DJs spin commercial pop until 3am most nights. Monday through Wednesday brings drag acts that command the room, while weekends explode with Retro Sexual 80s nights and cabaret performances. The black and white decor with rainbow flags creates an Instagram-worthy backdrop, but the real magic happens in the inclusive atmosphere where everyone from first-time visitors to Soho veterans feels genuinely welcome. Free entry weeknights keeps things accessible, though weekend crowds justify the £10 cover charge.

What's Great

✓ Three distinct experiences in one venue

✓ Consistent 3AM closing times

Keep in Mind

× Weekend entry fees and expensive drinks can add up quickly

Christoff's Tip:

Hit the champagne bar at 8pm before the £10 entry kicks in, then descend to Ku Klub for the real main quest
