I don't think you've quite grasped the issue here. I didn't ask for a gay bar, or a straight bar, because I didn't care. I asked for a venue. The problem is the tone of the reply, the concierge's assumption that I was straight, and the phrase "many of the clubs are homosexual", which just sounded weird.

Here's my original request for your reference.

To my great horror I am turning (AGE REDACTED

) this weekend. In a fit of unorganisedness, I have yet to set a venue for my birthday drinks for me and what will probably be between 6-10 friends on Friday night.

Can you recommend somewhere -- ideally with Bollinger champagne, my favourite -- within easy striking distance of the Novotel London City South, please?
