The bar is open from 1pm to 1am every day of the week – and is so popular that you’ll often find a small queue of guys waiting to get in before opening. There are a variety of themes: ‘cruise’ is every day and welcomes everyone, while there are also nights for underwear only and strictly naked parties, where no clothes apart from footwear are permitted. Whatever day you opt for, you’ll find guys to suit every taste, from mature to muscle to under 25s – who even get a discount on certain days. Vault139 is that rare thing on the gay scene: a bar that does what it says on the tin – making it one of the first ports of call for tourists all over the world who are looking to sample a hot, sweaty and friendly British welcome.
