Candy Bar

A place that does not live up to the hype. Unfriendly atmosphere, unfriendly staff and some seriously aggressive door staff make this a miserable place to go. A shame this is one of the few places lesbians have to go as their own space in London. I'd rather stay at home.

It may not be perfect but where is? At least you know with candy the girls are important and there'll be no leery men or the need to defend your lesbianism. Girls can just be and enjoy. Also with the *social soirée* on a thursday night for women who want to meet other women in a relaxed environment and make friends, karaoke on a wednesday, student night on a monday and of course friday through sunday of great tunes, great DJs and more women than you could shake a stick at. There's seating upstairs, stools and seating on the middle floor with the disabled toilet and awesome bar (cocktails...ummm...) then downstairs it's the basement for dancing and space to move. A great place, a great vibe and great adaptability. There's comedy nights, film showings and spaces to book for more private gatherings. *Just remember* the staff have friends too even if they don't wear badges marking them as such.

The girl who worked there at the top of the stairs, was counting the people going downstairs and coming back upstairs. From my observations she was slapping femme girls' buttocks and stroking the palms of their hands. The drunk girls on the dance floor throwing drinks on each other was in abundance. Not being a party pooper - but the floor was to slippery and dangerous to dance on- staff were aware and gave five napkins to mop the floor with. Overall the experience was entertaining - however not for the right reasons.
