CMYK, Wimbledon

This is an other drinking establishment and you may be charged for entrance at certain times.

Bar & Nightclub in the New Wimbledon Theatre. Reopened in March 2019 as CMYK bar, open from 5pm daily, "Wimbledon's first gay bar". Standard keg beers available.

Converted to a dental surgery late September 2023.

Licence had been temporarily suspended at end of November 2022 after a fight on 22 November and revoked on 20 December. Previously closed in July 2022. Wimbledon Times reported on 7 July:

'..officers were called to CMYK bar more than 10 times this year. The force called for the bar’s licence to be reviewed after a number of incidents, including a man being bottled on the dancefloor. Following a meeting last week, Merton Council’s licensing committee ruled the bar should close early on on Friday and Saturday nights – at 12.30am rather than 3am. A decision notice said there have been problems outside the bar when large groups of straight men have been barred from entering for being too drunk. But Merton Council said the venue had not taken incidents seriously enough, one of which resulted in a customer having his teeth knocked out.

Despite having three weeks to appeal the decision, owner Steve Sotiriou said he has been left with no choice but to close the bar. He expects this will happen in the next two weeks. He said: “I spent £300,000 to do this great bar. There were a few incidents, nothing to do with the gay community, many were to do with straight people; we had a battle on our hands to keep it as gay as we could." It was one of three places open late in Wimbledon, he said, and was popular after midnight for this reason. The 59-year-old said: “I tried to give Wimbledon a bar for the gay community. I tried to do my best. If the police and people in Wimbledon don’t want that bar then I will close it.”
