What makes The Bedford Tavern special
The Bedford Tavern is a pub for drinking and talking, not dancing. On Sundays many come for the homemade roast and stay for drag bingo in the evening. Guests praise the food, staff and atmosphere. One review criticises the staff for not intervening when homophobic remarks were made.
A good fit if you …
- are looking for a Sunday roast in queer company
- like bingo and cabaret in a pub
- want to combine it with the Grosvenor Bar next door
Not ideal if you …
