Description:
Retro Bar is a very friendly and busy mainly gay pub with a great atmosphere. George Court is an alleyway just off the south side of The Strand, in London, and is situated between Superdrug and Halifax. Normal pub hours. There is scope for parking nearby in John Adam street but it is very limited and difficult to access. The bar is a short walk from either Charing Cross or Embankment tube stations.Retro Rendezvous currently meets on Wednesday evenings at 8pm. If you want to eat beforehand, there are places in Villiers Street: Hobson's fish and chips, Lulivo Italian Restaurant, and Five Guys burgers, and a Pizza Express in the Strand, corner of Duncannon Street.

Retro Rendezvous is probably London's best free, purely social, weekly gathering of t-girls, transexuals, and occasional admirers. In a great friendly gay / mixed bar. Just the place to make your debut in a dress and get to know a lovely bunch of people. We are usually downstairs at the back on the left, but there should be a notice on the the board in the entrance. Tables reserved from 8. You may be the first, but don't worry, you won't be alone for long. We drink, we chat, we gossip, we put the world to rights, we may flirt, and we always try to be stylish. Well-behaved male admirers are welcome to join us. Tina x |

A very relaxed evening of drinks, chat and bar-hopping. It may be that this is your first outing in public, or maybe you're a seasoned pro. Either way this is an opportunity to get out into the 'real' world and have fun with like-minded girls. A rough plan is outlined below with complete flexibility for people to join/ leave as they wish. We know that being in a group can provide that extra layer of confidence to express who you really are and strut your stuff (strutting optional, especially on cobbles). No dress code - whatever you feel comfortable in. Rough plan as follows; Meet up at the Retro Bar around 9pm for drinks and a good old natter until chucking out time, and then off to Mr Fogg's Tavern to continue the festivities. After that, we can do whatever takes our fancy - London is ours for the taking! Anywhere afterwards will be not too far a walk away, so there’s no excuse for not wearing killer heels! Some of us may call it a night around midnight/1am but others may well carry on into the wee early hours - Covent Girls don't lack for stamina! Heaven at Embankment or the Freedom Bar are some of the options for the hardcore/late-niters, or which there are known to be a few... ;-) |

I didn't go to This weeks night of joy as I had/still have a Flu type thing of such a biblical plague and pestilence nature, I think it might be the first signs of the second coming. I'm sure it was a night out not to be missed that I missed. My star ratings attached to this review are hence a rating of my night in on my sofa. There were no staff, but I'm sure they would have been lovely so I'm giving them 5 stars anyway. |

Another f____g fantastic night at retro Mr M (one of the wonderful bar staff, They're all lovely people) joined us to socialise for an hour, and generously bought us all a drink. He's been on the scene long enough to share reminiscences of the PhilBeach with suzi I met two lovely cis girls in the smoking room, about to depart for the half way to heaven, they seemed to enjoy my interactions so much, they delayed leaving to the point they needed to run the 200 yards to get a last order in the half way. And they were either 1st class actors or ecstatic when i said we're here every Wednesday, come and join us again. It's that kind of thing, genuinely happy people in a comfortable safe space, guard down, joyfully open to conversational intercourse with others sharing that comfortable space. I don't know of any other venue where this magic happens. |
