    The lychee and porn star martinis are my drinks in this place. Been to a few birthdays here as well and the nibbles are good too. Staff are always pretty, dressed well and organised. Love downstairs for the deco, dance floor and the pole :) Slightly over priced but all worth the experience.

    Spectacular Spectacular and Hunkadola

    Oooh I really wanted to like the cocktails this place as the venue is lovely. Beautifully decorated with blue lights on the bar, cool, comfy sofas and trendy looking decor. But the cocktails were such a let down (well the Freedom Signature ones anyway). The names of the cocktails were clever and sounded delicious, but unfortunately they lacked flavour and tasted more like watered down juice. I tried the Spectacular Spectacular (this drink certainly did not warrant 2 "Spectaculars" in the title as it was far from spectacular) and the Hunkadola (this was the one that tasted like watered down juice). They did have a happy hour on, so I was glad the cocktail didn't cost the full price (each were £5.50 instead of £9.40). I would like to give this place another go and maybe try a different cocktail, but with the average price of a cocktail hitting £10, not sure it's really worth it. Maybe I'll go for a non-cocktail drink. There was a bit of a funky smell in the place too, which wasn't too pleasant. So for the reasons above, I'm only able to award an average 3* for this place.

    Qype User (inspir…)

    I've spent a sizeable wedge of the last 10 years coiled around one of Freedom's poles downstairs, haphazardly swirling, attempting to balance out their trademark French Kiss cocktails with deft free-flowing movement. A veritable swamp of anecdotes come to mind over the years, crashing down the stairs at 17, having an 8-way at my 18th birthday and getting thrown out for 'inappropriate behaviour' at 23. The scene of many of a memoir narrative, the zebra print, mixed vibe of Freedom - you'll find me here on any given week day behaving marginally better than in my lusty youth.

    Sometimes there is a line but there was no/minimal cover charge, decently priced drinks. Great music/DJ/dancing on the bottom floor.

    After downing a Carrie Bradshaw-style cocktail at the chill subterranean Friendly Society (review:…read morehttps://yelp.to/4zJuovAN4J), Jamie W. and I were way too intimidated to face the manly crowd in front of Compton's. We went in the opposite direction on Rupert Street and found this inviting courtyard bar. It's marketed as a gay bar but... The clientele was more mixed than gay. Hey, it wasn't a big deal to us. Especially as we sauntered to the bar bathed in pink and royal blue dayglow. Boys bellying up to the bar. Oh yeah, we home. The print was really small in their comprehensive cocktail menu, but that didn't stop us from ordering more libations. Stop judging us. Jamie went for the £12.50 Margarita, and I continued my Cosmopolitan streak with their £12 one (photo: https://yelp.to/RsyQWeRD5R). We went back into the courtyard to find a table. The leafy terrace and strings of white light were quite inviting, and we ended up hanging out in this sanctuary until they closed at 11PM. Cool. DRINKS - 4 stars...they did the trick AMBIANCE - 5 stars...the courtyard was loverly SERVICE - 4 stars...efficient bartender TOTAL - 4 stars...a nice way to end our first night in London RELATED - Exploring London?

It gets dull quickly especially right before they close so be prepared to watch for open seats or stand, which is not the worse so you can dance a bit to the great playlist.
