NEON

Typical queue

NEON is generally a walk-in bar rather than a velvet-rope queue. The trade-off for arriving late is a fuller room and slower service, especially on event nights.

Best night

An advertised show, DJ or community night is the best reason to visit NEON; on ordinary nights, early evening is the easier social window.

Locals vs visitors

Expect a broadly queer crowd and trans and non-binary guests at NEON. The mix changes with the hour and programme, so an early visit can feel very different from the late-night room.

Dress code in practice

Polished casual suits NEON: intentional enough for cocktails, still relaxed enough for a long night at the bar.

Staff inclusion

NEON's queer identity is built into the room or programme, so LGBTQ+ guests are the intended community rather than an afterthought.
