Candy Bar was a lesbian bar that was based in Carlisle Street in Soho, London. It was started in 1996 by Kim Lucas who decorated the interior pink and provided lap and pole dancing.[1][2] Men were allowed into the bar if accompanied by a woman.[3]

In 2011, the bar was sold by Lucas to Gary Henshaw, owner of the Ku chain of London gay bars. New management brought in by Henshaw toned down the bright pink decoration.[2] The bar was featured in a Channel 5 six-part fly-on-the-wall documentary series named Candy Bar Girls.[4]

The bar closed in January 2014 following an increase in rents.[5]
