I came to this place, which I’ve been to often, with my mum as she is visiting London. We had dinner in Compton street, and I promised my mum that after dinner I was going to take her to see the drag queens, as she has never seen one. As soon as we arrived at the door; the security guy asked me “how many of you are coming in?” to which I replied, as a joke…”20”, then he said… “sorry too many you can’t come in”, I then said “just joking is only the 3 of us” (my best friend, my mum, and I) he looked at my mum and said “sorry she is too drunk she can’t come in”, I then replied saying that I want to speak to a manager, as I’m not happy that someone is telling my mum that she is drunk when she A. She does not drink alcohol, and B. she is not drunk, and I would never allow anyone to labelled my mum of anything that she is not. (She is 63 years old and requires assistance). The manager came and took the side of the security (which was all assumption’s , and labelling an older woman). The manger couldn’t be bother to listen to us because he didn’t want, or feel the need to do his job correctly. I then asked him “please look at my mum and tell me that she is drunk?” he says ‘“it’s fine it’s ok to ask people if they are drunk” no one knows my mum, but myself and the fact that this place has not only labelled my mum as a drunk, but discriminated (the security accused, he never asked) against her, and ruined our evening is beyond comprehension. I have never been so angry in my life and I wish this bar will learn from this to not discriminate and labelled people. If the manager has a relationship with his mum where she gets wasted (his words) it’s his life and hers. But I don’t do that. Yes!!!! I came to a bar to show my mum a culture that is part of the queer community, and I really wanted for her to experience a bit of the drag art. Now I just have a bitter sweet night. Disgraceful discrimination and ageism!! Do better next time!

We attended the Admiral Duncan London on the 6th May 2023. A man was verbally aggressive to my partner without cause and witnessed by multiple individuals. As a result, we informed a security guard who assured us after pointing out the man, he would be removed from the venue. However, after the man was pointed out, he was removed to the same smoking area where he continued to be verbally aggressive swearing and threatening in front of the security guard. The manager was called who referred to this as “classroom drama” and working in a “nursery”. The aggressive individual was let back into the bar and we were told to avoid the man and avoid eye contact. Ultimately, as two females we did not feel safe with the outcome of this encounter and chose to leave the bar and informed the security guard of our disappointment, having been regulars at the bar before this.
