What makes The Yard & Heaven’s Above special
The Yard is where many nights in the Pink Triangle begin: it opens early, has a large outdoor area and a programme during the week. Drag acts perform downstairs regularly, while DJs play upstairs in Heaven’s Above until 2 am. Guests praise the friendly atmosphere and the staff. Some reviews complain about unfriendly bar staff and entry problems despite valid ID.
