Been to the Edge on many pervious visits to London and found the place to be really friendly and welcoming. Although a self proclaimed gay bar there is a good mix of people and both myself and my wife have spent many a night drinking at The Edge and have always had a great night and met some really nice people. Have always found the staff to be friendly and it really has a good atmosphere.

28/08/08 @ 7-7:30 pmWhat a disgrace !!!!! Been to the edge on many occasions. My work colleague was waiting to be served at the bar. And a group of my work colleges were waiting outside. It was 7.15pm and not many people were waiting, 2 bar staff were on duty downstairs. So, after 10 minutes I went into the bar to see why it was taking so long. I noticed 4 customers had come in while he was waiting and were being served, yet my friend was still waiting.The two bar staff; one black guy and another small guy were on duty. I informed them this was completely rude only then to be told by the small guy to f**k off!!!!!! I was mortified "what a disgrace", how un-professional and disgusting is this, many people around the bar then over heard and made an apology, however the barman who made the remark remained un-phased by what he said.It seems this member off staff needs to be taught some basic manners and with his current attitude is surprising how he managed to secure a job behind the bar. It seems that If your face doesn't fit then you don't get served......this is no excuse!In my opinion, better training or hiring procedures should be adopted otherwise you may loose many more customers.RegardsMartin Perry

I have been going to the edge for years. I have always found the staff warm and welcoming and depite being incredibly busy at times they have always managed a smile.

Maybe the member of staff no longer works at the venue and if he does then you should certainly talk to the manager and she is very friendly too and I am sure wouldnt tolerate the behaviour!

Top Tip always tell the manager! You might even get a free drink out of it lol.

That is appalling. I have notice the bar staff are slow and unprofessional in here, but telling a customer to f**k of is unforgivable. I hope he lost his job for that.

The Edge Bar has a good atmosphere and the staff are usually very good, including the bouncers at the door (which makes a refreshing change).


Lots of fun to be had at The Edge Bar and it's definitely one of the better gay bars in London.

I went to The Edge Bar for a private Christmas party, and despite my initial reservations, I was fairly impressed. It's stretched over a few floors, so you're bound to find somewhere that will suit your particular mood.


But be warned, drinks are expensive at The Edge Bar, and some of the toilets lacked adequate locking facilities. Given that it advertises itself as "London's premier polysexual zone", I'm not sure whether that's intentional.


Nevertheless if you're straight, gay, bi, or whatever, this place is still good fun.

Unfortunately when my friend and I went to Edge. we only had about an hour until we needed to be somewhere else. Next time we'll stay longer.



I was very impressed by the lack of "bouncerness" of the guys at the door.



We had a few drinks and our picture taken by a guy doing promotion (under duress!) Still need to check those!



Had a great time - staff were lovely. Toilet attendant was a good giggle (makes a change from the normal sour face). Saw an old face from a bar that I used to frequent which made our brief time there even better.



You may have to queue for a bit, but if you use the guest list thingy on this site, you'll be in so much quicker. For us it was about two minutes!
