The Pre Party

If you’ve planning to spend the early hours
of Saturday morning on a packed dance
floor, you need to do as every athlete does
and warm up properly. Not just a bit of twostepping in the mirror at home, but a proper
limbering up at The Pre Party. This is a new
fortnightly event at The Yard Bar, everybody’s
fave alfresco spot in Soho. DJ Keyth David
will be taking to the decks and blasting out
floor-fillers by the fistful, while gogo dancer
Lewie Fox is gonna be serving up copious
amounts of eye candy all night long. By the
time midnight rolls around, you’ll be more than
ready for the next stop, wherever that may be.

Freedom Bar
There aren’t many venues treating you to solid-gold
entertainment every night of the week like Freedom Bar does.
From Monday to Wednesday, performance nights like Kinky
Kabaret (every Monday) and High on Heels (Wednesdays)
shine a light on the capital’s up-and-coming drag and West End
talent. Then, from Thursday night onwards, it all goes a bit Studio
54 — hordes of beautiful people descend onto the dancefloor
and shimmy about under disco balls until 3 in the morning. No
wonder it’s a compulsory stop for any big night out in Soho.
