I had the best time celebrating my 37th birthday at the Zodiac. The venue was brilliant, and Farrah was an absolutely fantastic hostess, she made sure our party was looked after all night.

The karaoke tunes were top-tier too, including a Britney medley that made several (enthusiastic) reappearances throughout the evening.

I’ll definitely be back.

Thanks to the whole team for a fab night!

So glad we found this gem!!! We went there on Christmas night and it was the best decision ever!!! Sang so many songs on the karaoke. Met so many lovely people. Our host Dee Chanelle was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. If you’re looking for a fun night out with music and good drinks, don’t hesitate to come here!!!

At Zodiac you always find the best vibes! From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by the fabulous Farrah, giving the warmest welcome ever, to all the entertainers — especially Dee — and the entire crew who host on different days throughout the week. And of course, we can’t forget the sexy mama Jade!

Amazing people, safe vibes, and fabulous drinks. Karaoke available every day, incredible events like Way Out and many more.

What can I say? Thank you girls… I love you ❤️

One of the best LGBT place in London. Where everyone is safe and welcome

I couldn’t say much about the kitchen. Bartender was friendly and cordial. The karaoke was a big plus. We can feel the staff do their best so that the place stays a safe space for all. I did sing a few songs seemingly with regular customers. Everybody was so friendly. I can only recommend this venue if you want to chill-out though still socialise with great people. Thanks a lot

Like stepping into a glittery queer Narnia—with better drinks and company, and fewer talking lions.

It’s easy to look at Hampstead Road and wonder if you’re in the right place… And then you find the place you’re looking for.

Zodiac Bar is THE place.

From the moment I walked in, I felt like Beyoncé entering the Renaissance tour—but with more sequins per square foot. The STUNNING host, Dee, greeted us like we were long-lost gay royalty and her the team? Iconic. And fast (but friendly with it).

Not only was the energy electric (and possibly slightly possessed by ABBA and every 80’s diva you can imagine and more), but the whole place radiated safe, welcoming, judgment-free joy. You could dance, strut, flirt, or dramatically lip-sync to Whitney, and not a single person would bat a false eyelash. The other guests don’t just turn into friends and dance partners, they snap straight into backing singers and duet partners. It’s the kind of place where your soul exhales and your inner diva takes the wheel.

I laughed, I danced, I probably overshared with a stranger (who was deeply supportive), and I left with sore face from laughing so much, a full heart, and a new favourite bar in London.

To summarise:

Go.

Live your best queer life.

Listen to Dee’s vocals. They slap.

Singalong at the top of your lungs.

Stay for the magic.
