Being the first of its kind in the UK, The Chocolate Cocktail Club is a mixed venue that serves a selection of over 20 Chocolate Cocktails in the heart of London. Ranging from creamy to fruity, all cocktails come with a delicious twist of Chocolate.

Pick from a wide range of your all-time favourite treats including a Toblerone Cocktail, Shamazing Strawberry, Salted Caramel, After Eight o’clock, and many more. Don’t worry if chocolate isn’t your thing – The Chocolate Cocktail Club also offers a range of standard drinks and classic cocktails.

Feeling peckish? Why not try a slice of one of their beautiful cakes, a delicious dessert or just a light bite; all very chocolatey of course.

Caffè Nero – Soho

For years, Cafe Nero (corner of Old Compton Street and Frith Street) has been the hangout café of choice for many gay Londoners.

Perfectly located in the heart of Soho, its a place to meet up or a place to sit and just watch the world go past. The coffee’s pretty good, too, and it’s open almost 24 hours a day.

BALANS Soho Café

Strategically located at the epicentre of gay Soho (directly opposite Caffe Nero), this 24-hour café bar has become one of the most popular gay hangouts on Old Compton Street.

During long summer days, the windows are opened, shades lowered and tables set out along the street. Many stop by BALANS for a cold beer or coffee, but the café does serve a range of popular dishes, from bacon sandwiches at breakfast, to burgers and fish & chips.

BALANS – Kensington

West London branch of this well-known gay-orientated restaurant chain.

Whilst the atmosphere is not as quite as ‘gay’ as its Compton Street location, BALANS remains a popular place for gay friends to meet and ‘do lunch’.

Good food, reasonable prices and, last time we visited, some pretty cute waiters.
