I went in with friends recently (Id never been before) and the place was packed and looked amazing (the entrance is sooo camp! greek statues and fairy lights!)
Its hidden away on rupert street - you enter a tunnel that leads to a big courtyard where you can smoke (which was very helpful for me as a non smoker as usually I always end up on the street with my smoking friends.)
The barman (topless) were really hot and actually friendly (as opposed to the usual arrogant ones you normally get)
The only down side was the slightly dark toilets which were also quite cold.
But all in all I would definitely recommend.

There is a nice courtyard where people can stand outside in the summer. It seems however that the bar staff expect to be tipped which is not the normal custom in English pubs. If one spends £3.40 on a pint of lager, what is one supposed to give the barman ? Another £1 ? The drinks are expensive enough as it is.

The Yard Bar is a good venue to go to if you're with friends and want to chat and unwind.

It is not, in my opinion, a place to go to if you're alone and looking to meet new people.

That said, I'm only basing this on going during the week (on a school night) so the vibe at weekends could be entirely different.

A bar similar in feel to The Yard Bar is King Edward IV (nearest tube: Angel) where you don't feel like a Norman no-mates if you go there on your own.

This is due to the layout of the place: the bar is such that you can hang out there and check out the crowd without looking like a desperate predator whereas it's more difficult to find a vantage point at The Yard Bar.

But if you do want to meet new people at The Yard Bar during the week, then I recommend going with a few mates (not just one) and breaking away from them every so often to survey the scene.

It is so refreshing to walk into a bar like Yard right in the centre of the sticky and bustling Soho surroundings on a hot summer's day and be able to just breathe. The bar staff were very friendly and just as cute whilst the clientele were also relaxed and non predatory as they are in many of the neighbouring bars. I give the Yard a big thumbs up!
