Freedom in City of London

As a preface, I work in service industry so have no issue paying service charge for good work.I actually like the vibe there, however, without solicitation charging 12.5% service for BAR service is outrageous.When I queried this the rude N. American lady said that's just how it is.Well, the law requires you mention it and that it is optional. Effectively, the menu is incorrect pricing.

I find Freedom as one of the decent clubs in Soho. It’s great fun, has a bar area (upstairs) and a club area (downstairs). Great music and friendly people. However it is definitely not a cheap night out and sometimes getting in could take ages- but that’s pretty much everywhere in Soho lol

Be very careful, there is a group of 10 guys stealing phones/wallet and the bar staff/ security guard is doing nothing about it. Someone will come and try to hug you for no reason pretending they are drunk… in order to steal you, all of this in front of the eye of the security guard. Very dangerous people , avoid at all cost

The only reason I’m giving this place any stars is because of the acts they have on. The drag queens and performers are fantastic. So professional, amazing and fun to watch. However, as a supposedly LGBTQ+ venue, why is my transgender friend being forcibly removed from the female toilets? She is a woman. I spoke to the manager who repeatedly said there is a “non-binary” (disabled loo requiring a radar key) upstairs. I said she’s a woman wanting to use the womens loo but he just wouldn’t take this. I’m incredibly upset by this. Sadly, due to the repeated assaults against my friend she has become accustomed to this sort of treatment, however this is COMPLETELY unacceptable and I hope the people involved feel absolutely ashamed of themselves and receive the appropriate training to ensure this never ever happens again. As I said, the actual performers were fantastic I am so sorry it’s tainted by the appalling bouncers and toilet staff but this sort of transphobia is unacceptable and illegal.

Freedom Bar in SOHO is an amazing place to go clubbing. The music is lovely and the ambience is great. There are poles at the center of the club where people can pole dance. I also love the vibe of the people that go there - everyone is just so wild and down to party! Most importantly, the bouncers/door staff are very kind. This was a shock to me as I have experienced being refused entry for no reason, bullying, verbal abuse and manhandling from several bouncers at popular nightclubs! At Freedom they treat you with respect. One of the door staff even told his colleagues to take care of me every time I was there because he said I was a "lovely person." I'm glad I found a nightclub with an amazing vibe, that treats customers with equality, inclusion and respect. In fact, after I discovered Freedom I ended up going 4 more times the same week! Definitely a must-visit if you are in London.

I came here for the first time just before Christmas, a real lovely place full of friendly people and staff! Amazing cocktails and entertainment too. A staff member from my first visit that worked in the cloakroom named Saffron I think, was an absolute angel to me. Super polite and enthusiastic and assured me my belongings would be safe with her in the cloakroom. Since my first visit Saffron has sadly left, she was such a gem

Been to this place a few times before but hadn't been for several years, so some work colleagues of mine decided to go for a Christmas drink last month. I went up alone and I asked the door man what we needed to get in and he said just the COVID pass thing which we all had. I called my colleagues over (only 2 of them) and once he saw them he was like, have you booked? I said no because we never needed to be before. Then he was like, no you can't get in. It was after 10pm and there was absolutely no one inside. Through the window you could see the place was completely empty. I'm thinking he saw my colleagues were slightly older and decided not to let them in. And ageist place that will not see anymore of my money.

Never a dull night, especially when they open downstairs. This place epitomises Soho... easy going, fun crowd with a great vibe. Great place to start or end the night.

I was a regular to this club and had a lot of good and amasing night. Recently I find it very unfriendly and the door men doesn’t really care anymore with their valued(regular) customers. Sorry to say that it’s really disappointing and utterly how this club become very unfriendly. If they don’t change they keep loosing their regulars .

It was my first time here with neice and her friends and we had an amazing night. The drinks were a little pricy but the drag show we watched was phenomenal and that made up for it. It was a great experience that night and had so many laughs. 10/10 from me. Thank you.
