Wonderful Host and clientele, Tuesday night is my favourite, it’s men only and Sunday night is perfect if you like cross dressing as I do but everyone is welcome so do go along, it not expensive so don’t expect to be in Claridges 👌😉💖
3 people in the whole club who weren’t my type. I’d have better luck picking up a man on the street in all honesty, why even go in if there’s a small amount of people when you can just stand around in your heels on the busy street and get hit on by more people. Empty empty empty!!! Waste of money, everyone is 50-60 years old
Very friendly and upfront! Great prices on drinks. Ted (the owner) was very friendly. Definitely a good place to check out.
Another visit back to Ted’s in Summer 2024, and it’s as friendly and fun as ever. Cherish it whilst you can. I suspect it won’t be there for ever …
The story … Ted’s place is really, really friendly. It’s been there for decades, not judging, offering an inclusive, friendly, tolerant, welcoming space. Thursdays and Sundays are for t-girls and admirers. There are other days for other people who have had to fight the fight …
A stool at the bar can lead to the loveliest conversations.
And for those who would like more, there is the potential for more.
Respect.
We went on a Tuesday night, so not crowded and we knew that would be the case going in. The friendliness of the man at the door (we’re from America, never been before, had no idea what to expect, just gave it a try), and the bartender (Ted), the other bar guests, etc- everyone was very nice and friendly! The drink prices were extremely reasonable, it was clean, the drinks were good. Next time we visit we will definitely be back! Thank you Ted!!
