First Out Café Bar

Frommer's Review

First Out Café Bar -- First Out prides itself on being London's first (est. 1986) all-gay coffee shop. Set in a 19th-century building whose wood panels have been painted the colors of the gay-liberation rainbow, the bar and cafe are not particularly cruisy. Cappuccino and whiskey are the preferred libations, and an exclusively vegetarian menu includes curry dishes, potted pies in filo pastries, and salads. Don't expect a raucous atmosphere -- some clients come here with their grandmothers. Look for the bulletin board with leaflets and business cards of gay and gay-friendly entrepreneurs. Open Monday to Saturday 10am to 11pm and Sunday 11am to 10:30pm.
