If your old Saturday night prime time pal Mr Blobby was a pub, this one would be it, although this pink extravaganza, right in the middle of Old Compton Street, might look louder than the people drinking inside would justify. The crowd is mixed, mostly gay but straight-friendly and in general, more mature than that which spills out of its Soho sisters doors. Dance out of the closet and straight into here cocktails are £4 and on week-nights till 7, £5.50 for 2. Go on, flutter those eyelashes; you know you've always fancied sex on the beach.
