The Yard Bar

Set just off Rupert Street with its own heated courtyard, The Yard is one of Soho’s most stylish and relaxed gay bars. The venue is especially popular with smokers thanks to its spacious outdoor garden, which stays busy throughout the year.

The main highlight is the leafy courtyard bar, a rare outdoor space in central Soho and a great place to meet friends and enjoy a drink. Inside, there is a balconied loft bar overlooking the courtyard that offers a more intimate setting and works well for both summer evenings and winter nights.

The Yard attracts a mixed crowd and is known for its friendly atmosphere, good music, and excellent cocktails served by a charming team behind the bar.

The entrance is directly opposite Rupert Street Bar and just a short walk from other Soho favourites such as Village Soho, placing it right in the heart of London’s gay scene.
