Located just off Wardour Street, in the alley between Ann Summers and The Village in London’s Soho gay district.
A laid-back LGBT pub in the basement, Friendly Society is distinctive and pleasant.
Friendly Society benefits from the element of surprise since, after passing through a dull back alley entrance, you are met with Soho’s most eccentric bar at the foot of the stairs.
It’s great to pop in for a drink and a quick glance at the attractive bartenders. The pub is a favorite gathering place for gay men, lesbians, and their straight friends because of the dangling Barbie dolls from the ceiling, quirky lighting, and black and white movies.
If you want to dance to Donna Summer while sipping (relatively) cheap prosecco, come here.
