I went there with a small group of friends and I didn't know what to expect because of the varied reviews! My main concern was that they might not let us in. This was only because of some other reviews which said they did not let straight people in (we were all female, mostly heterosexual). We walked up to the... More

We waited in a row outside the bar for 2 hours... security staff very unfriendly and snotty. They preferred people to let in by chance. Candy Bar was recommended to us for the London scene so we hold out. Which was a really bad decision! Should have switch to an other location.. As we finally got into the bar it... More

Had shots after shots and champagne and beer then on our way out, I asked the barmaid for some water and told her I felt dehydrated, my mouth and throat was so... More

I have been to lesbian bars all over the world and this is by far the worst. I would have expected as much in a fascist country. The place is under new management and most of the clientel is complaining. Candy Bar used to be packed on Saturday nights, now it is half empty. I went last weekend to give... More
