GREEN DOOR

What secrets are you keeping? We’re not nosy, but Green Door wants to know. Share some of your indiscretions (or just ring the doorbell) and you might get access behind the door, allowing you into this quirky cocktail bar with its pastel gingham wallpaper, blown-out wood grain painted bar and bookshelves stacked with odds and ends. Leather banquettes are pushed into tidy nooks and crannies for covert whispering, or you could choose to get it all out in the open at a stool by the long bar where Kai mixes up an array of exotic cocktails. Some say the service is slow, others attest to the fact it’s a bit of a cruising spot for the wealthier gays, but all agree that it’s a bit of an institution. Yes, it’s a bit 70s retro, but when we tell you the greatest secret of all – that it was named for America’s first hardcore porno ‘Behind the Green Door’ made in 1972 – then it all starts to fall into place.
