A great bar. As a local I am often found in my favourite corner. Daytimes, it's a great place to meet friends and have a natter. In the evenings, it's very stylish and, perhaps surprisingly, very cruisy (even in the daytimes, I have noticed the occasional extended paired-up disappearance downstairs!). The one downside with the Rupert is it is notoriously unreliable in terms of its opening times. If you're meeting someone at a particular time and don't want to be stuck standing outside waiting for them to open, I would recommend that you either set the meeting up time well after the advertised opening time, or visit Balans in Old Compton Street instead.
