Freedom Bar

Fantastic establishment! This is a sensible lounge with a classy feel and craft cocktails! Wonderful staff and management, very accommodating, and also a great crowd. Happy hour is half off all cocktails till 8p!

I'll definitely be booking parties and events here in the future!

I had an appalling experience at Freedom Bar Soho due to their abysmal customer service. The bouncers were rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. Not only did they fail to address my concerns, but they also displayed a shocking lack of empathy towards their customers. It's disappointing to see such disregard for basic courtesy and respect in a service-oriented establishment. I strongly advise against visiting this establishment if you value decent treatment as a customer.

This place did, for me, exactly what i needed it to do. Went to see the Kinky Kabaret and it did not disappoint.
Talented people, a great vibe and to top it all off, Anelisa. A beautiful singer with an amazing spirit. If you're in the hood, check it out!!!

Adam & B we're the nicest staff. They look out & take care of their patrons. I appreciate their kind hospitality

My friend and I had stuff stolen from our bags and the establishment said they wouldn't compensate us even for smaller value items. Would never go back, ever.

Upstairs bar, downstairs nightclub but the differences don't stop there.
Upstairs the staff are friendly, welcoming and efficient. Downstairs staff are rude, slow and as if your presence is an annoyance - my friend ordered a Gin and Tonic and was accidentally served vodka, when she informed the bar man he said if she wanted a replacement drink she would have to buy it.
If you are looking for a cocktail bar for evening drinks then I couldn't recommend freedom bar enough, but just steer clear of the basement club, there are plenty of other clubs in soho for you to continue your night

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

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.

This review is based off of a Saturday evening starting around 9:00pm until close.

Everything was going so well, or so I thought.

I came here for my birthday with some friends. I reserved a table for the night. We were welcomed at the door, and then taken to our table by the very nice and friendly host/manager person.

However, at some point in the night, they took away the sign that said my table was reserved. Other people then proceeded to invade our space, and crowd us, and make us feel like we didn't belong at our own table. The overall experience was very unpleasant, because while some people were friendly, most of them were rude and mean about it so I had to become confrontational at moments.

Also, this is supposed to be a gay bar, but it felt like a straight-person's version of what they think a gay bar is like. There were hen parties everywhere (yuck!) and one of them even stole my balloons. But, If you're into that kind of fake-Vegas-hip vibe, the cocktails are decent and the staff are friendly (well, most of them), and attractive.

Beware though, if you reserve a table, plan to fight for your territory the entire night. Also, plan on being harassed by hen-parties throughout your evening.

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.
