| It's a smashing little bar. Decent music, nice atmosphere, not too pricey. roymondo - 8 Jan 2009 22:07 |
| Me and my friends stumbled on this place accidentally. The excelllent music being played by the DJ lured us in. Good quality beer and while none of us are gay, we had a good time. DickiedeVere - 1 Dec 2008 16:29 |
| This place is one of my fave bars in London. Gay or otherwise. For Central London the drinks are really reasonably priced and there is always somthing going on. The Music Quiz on a Tuesday is not to be missed! It does seem cliquey at times as alot of the regulars know each other and come in on a daily basis. Its the perfect place to come for an after work drink and the juke box is fab. MOST of the bar staff are friendly and i recomend everyone give it a try. It is also the only gay pub to appear in TIME OUT's top 50 bars in London list!! BettyBlue - 15 Sep 2008 16:06 |
| One of the biggest crap holes I've ever had the misfortune of visiting. Made me remember exactly why I no longer bother with central London gay bars. crabpaste - 19 Nov 2007 19:57 |
| Of all the dreadful gay venues in the West End, this is probably one of the best. However Wendy is not the cheeriest of landladies, and it suffers from the "gay beer" syndrome: no one can explain how "gay beer" differs from "straight beer", other than the fact it costs significantly more. No real beer of course, not even in bottles (if the Vauxhall Tavern nightclub which caters to much the same crowd can make Spitfire and London Pride work, why can't the Retro Bar?). I'm coming to the opinion that the Halfway to Heaven is a better bet, but honestly, when you have The Harp just over the other side of the Strand (a sublime pub), how much do you need a specifically gay pub at all? ghostwheel - 25 Oct 2007 18:36 |
