The Colombian Hotel, in a former bank building on Oxford Street, is a straight-friendly gay bar that almost never sleeps. It has big windows on the street level for panoramic people-watching from early morning to long after the last call at night. With a downstairs video bar and an upstairs lounge, it features drag shows, creative cocktails, beer on tap, rotating DJs and wild dancing until dawn. Week days the crowd is mostly gay and lesbian.
