    During University I went to quite a lot of awful, trashy club nights, a few of which were at Loop. The top floor is a fairly standard modern, smart bar which has outside seating. The downstairs is larger with seating, a bar and a dance floor. The décor throughout it is smart standard, as at any Leicester Square club. The bars are well-stocked and when I went there were often drinks deals. The music was largely wannabe middle class r'n'b/rap with a crowd to match. Though I would imagine this is dependent on the club night as during the evening it is popular with office workers. Not an awful place, particularly if you stay upstairs, but essentially the kind of place you wouldn't be if you'd planned ahead.

    I only had a mojito but it was goooood :) The bar upstairs is nice and light but apparently downstairs is verrrrry noisy (not great for a post work drink but I am sure fun for a night out?). They have a happy hour (can't remember the deal) during the week. Their cocktails don't seem anything amazing but are standard and thirst quenching!

    I was a one point one of the office workers that used to go to this bar / club and whilst I agree it is a fairly mad place, I don't remember seeing anyone stripping out of the suit etc, maybe I was too drunk of the vodka red bulls. I always like this place and has some fun times, it was normally straight after work for a few hours and I didn't ever pay £10 to get in ? - Maybe things have changed here, I am on my way to find out. It does get busy and getting a drink at times can be a bit of a trial. Downstairs is the nightclub bit and the other two bars are just bar area's where you can reserve an area for the evening. Lively and brash it is but the previous reviews make this place out to be a hell-hole - This wasn't my experience, but I am going back to check again, Watch this space !

    LOOP - An after work venue, happy hour, lively crowd, 3 floors, and fantastic prices. One of the place to be on friday night!

    Quite a funny club if you like cheesy music It's probably better to be drunk or at least slightly tipsy Then you will have lots of fun

    Funny place with great 80's music and a good vibe. Lot's of smashed people, so you shouldn't be too sober in order to enjoy that place

    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.
