The Mash Bar, Oxford Circus

i had the great misfortune of going here this past saturday night. it was closed for a 'refit.' and after the night i and 3 friends had on saturday - i wish it stayed closed. the music LET ME GET THIS CLEAR - WAS COMPLETE RUBBISH! previously [as a few others below comment] at least the music was top notch - now its nothing but sub-standard, sad, suburban and extremely rubbish - what have they done? and the 'refit' has turned this place into a white elephant that charges the highest prices and looks like the foyer of an Ikea. even the touches that made it work like excellent DJs for instance have been forgotten. the Friday we went before the closing was bang bang bang house we were in and out of there in 2 minutes. and as we thought the saturdays were better, we'd give it 1 last chance. i'm happy to say - BEWARE THIS PLACE and the nasty people who don't know any better who go there. its gone from bad to worse - CLOSE THIS BAR!
