London, London
Soho LGBTQ+ bar with glamorous cocktails and a basement dance floor.
Freedom has anchored a stretch of Wardour Street in the heart of Soho since 1990, one of the longer-running fixtures of the village's gay nightlife. The ground floor works as a polished cocktail bar — living wall, wooden floors, backlit bar art — while the basement turns clubbier after dark, with disco balls, plush seating, dance poles and DJs leaning on pop and dance. It pulls a mixed, dressed-up crowd, with a long-standing draw on West End performers and people working in media, fashion and entertainment, which gives the room a theatrical edge. Drag and cabaret share the bill with club nights across the week. Sitting mid-Soho near Old Compton Street, it's an easy first or last stop on a night that can take in Ku Bar, The Yard and Rupert Street within a few minutes' walk — worth a look whether you want a sit-down cocktail early or a basement dance floor late.
