London, London
Gay pub on Wardour Street with bingo, quiz, and DJ nights since 2001.
The Duke of Wellington — "The Welly" to regulars — has served gay Soho since 2001, when it took over a Wardour Street site that had been a chain bar. It works two ways: a relaxed daytime local, and a warm-up before a bigger night out. The weekly lineup stays busy — Busy Lady Bingo with Sheila Simmonds and Beverly on Tuesdays, a Wednesday pub quiz, FURSDAY for bears and admirers with DJ Ben Jamin, and DJ dance nights Friday through Sunday. Downstairs is where the dancing happens; upstairs is for tables and talk. It's dog-friendly, with a pavement drinking spot out front that fills up in summer, and step-free access available on request. Part of the Stonegate group, but it has kept the feel of an old-fashioned, friendly Soho local rather than a polished chain.

The Village People were created by a gay producer as a set of gay fantasy characters and launched to gay disco audiences, but the members themselves differ. Here is what each has said on the record, and the two readings of YMCA.
