Major New Gay Venue Opens in London
Gay-owned and run Manbar opens its doors at 6pm on Thursday 1st November 2012 to customers who are set to experience a late-night gay bar like no other in Soho. Bringing new life to an old venue, a major refit has left the space brand spanking new. New sound system, new air conditioning and new decor have been brought in to revitalise a location which is part of London's gay heritage. A new age is upon us.
With the help of two of London's coolest artists, Manbar has created imagery set to be iconic with its look while also a throwback to classic gay artwork of yesteryear. Internationally renowned artist Mikesbliss has painstakingly created dozens of images that adorn the interior walls of Manbar over three floors.
To create a strong advertising campaign Manbar has enlisted visual artist Nik Pate . For Manbar he has created an iconic logo of a muscle man silhouette showing off his biceps featuring a simple macho anchor tattoo.
The soundtrack to Soho's newest bar will be mainstream, commercial dance with London's best DJs doing residencies including Alessandro Londra , Tony English , Brent Nicholls , Rich B, DJ Minx and Pier Morocco.
When it comes to customer service, Manbar will not be outdone. Table service is standard and Manbar operates a free cloakroom service to everyone. It is also noteworthy that Manbar will have free WiFi access available.
Soho has not had a major gay bar opening for many years and the scene is desperate for something new - now their prayers have been answered.
