The guide
Where exactly
Piccadilly Circus Tube, walk up Shaftesbury Ave. Rupert St is between Apollo and Gielgud Theatres. Walk up street towards market stalls and Raymond Revue/Madam Jo-Jo's (lots of neon). Rupert Street Bar is on your right, after the stage door of the Gielgud. Follow the stench of bar staff with bad attitude and overpriced drinks. Cross street: Shaftesbury Ave
When to go
Noon-11pm. Phone (0)20 7292 7141 for info. Best times: 7pm-11pm
Etiquette
Don't make it too obvious you are only in there for the toilet. The bar staff may be self-absorbed, but the door staff are equally unpleasant but partially observant.(Although they seem oblivious to abandoned bags!) Pick up at the , wait for a quiet mooment and take your trade to the cubicles. Take a bag and block the two inches of open space at the bottom of the door. Exit the cubicle bold as brass (if anyone gets shirty you can leg it up the stairs and out the fire exit at the top, avoiding the barstaff and the bouncer!)
Safety
Overpriced drinks? Uptight staff? Attitude? Stand and Model bar. Avoid the bouncer and the ageing, bitter ex-manager (once had a ponytail, steroid habit and brazillan muscle mary for a boyfriend/escort- now has a face with the dermatology of Judith Chalmers and the expression of Jason BB5).
