Comptons of Soho

Comptons of Soho The Grande Dame of Old Compton Street
(411)

The Grande Dame of Old Compton Street, built on the site of the 200-year-old Swiss Hotel,
Compton's has been at the epicentre of the gay scene since 1986. A welcoming beacon through the tough times of the late 80s and 90s, Compton's became famous for the throngs of gay men drinking on the street outside the venue. Now one of London’s most-celebrated LGBTQIA+ venues, Compton's remains the steadfast heart of gay Soho and will be standing proud for many years to come.

It's giving... "I need a cold pint immediately." 🥵🍺

Darling, stop wandering around Soho looking like a melted Calippo and get yourself into Comptons. ❄️💅

We've got the cold drinks, the cool air, and from 8:30pm is bringing the heat in all the right ways. 🎧🔥

Expect R&B, throwback anthems, questionable dance moves, and that one friend insisting they're "only staying for one"... 😂

See you at the bar. We'll save you a cold one. 🍻💋

⏰✨ TIME MACHINES ON ✨⏰

This Friday, we're turning back the clock... because every legendary night has a story.

From the defiance of Stonewall to the glitter-soaked dancefloors of Tip Top, we're celebrating the soundtrack that shaped LGBTQ+ nightlife. The songs that brought us together, gave us strength, filled dancefloors and became the heartbeat of generations.

For one night only, DJ Alex Eugenio takes over the booth, digging deep into the musical history of our community. Expect disco classics, Hi-NRG anthems, forgotten gems, pop bangers and those songs that instantly transport you to another time and place.

Whether you danced through these eras yourself or you're discovering them for the first time, this is your invitation to experience the music, the memories and the magic that made Soho what it is today.

Because Pride isn't just about celebrating where we are...
It's about honouring the journey that got us here. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

☀️ London is absolutely baking... ☀️

You escape the heat, push open the doors of Comptons and... ❄️✨

That glorious blast of air conditioning hits your face.

Instantly, life is better. 😍

Before you've even made it to the bar, you spot two friends you haven't seen since... well... probably Pride last year. 😂💖

A hug, a gossip, a "where have YOU been?!" and suddenly the afternoon has completely changed.

🍹 You grab a round of Spritzes, head upstairs to our gorgeous Top Bar and claim one of those coveted window seats.

Outside? Soho is doing what Soho does best.

Tourists taking a million photos. 📸

Questionable outfits. 👀

Someone already on their third life crisis before 4pm. 💅

You sit back, sip your Spritz and watch the world wander by...

Honestly? There are worse ways to spend a summer afternoon. 😉

Even better... 🍊🍓🥂

✨ ALL our Summer Spritz cocktails are 3-FOR-2
🕗 Monday–Friday until 8pm
☀️ All summer long.

So come and cool down, catch up, people-watch and let us keep the drinks flowing. 🍹💖
