London's best, and I think only, 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 may be upstairs or downstairs, but there should be a notice on the the board in the entrance. Tables reserved from 8, but come earlier if you like. 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 Look out too for DINNER LADIES, probably on the first Tuesday of the month. |

A really nice evening with a friendly welcoming group of people in a great bar with very hospitable staff. They played some tunes as well. Hope to be back if I'm in London again on a Wednesday.

I always enjoy a night with tina and the girls. retro is a lovely friendly bar tucked away just off the strand. 12 or so there, great company and reasonable prices at the bar. Sometimes we go on to other places afterwards but I decided to head home at closing this time.

London Trans+/ Drab Drinks (Thursday, April 4, 2024)

My first time to visit Drab Drinks and had a lovely evening. The Retro Bar is easy to find. The staff were lovely and other drinkers very relaxed. It is definitely a nice safe space. The event was very well attended with 20+ trans and GNC I'd say. There was a mix of ages as the organisers promote on various social media not just here. If you are younger have no fear you will definitely have someone your age to chat to, but there are middle aged and older too so everyone is catered for :) Everyone was friendly and swapped seats when drinks were being refreshed at the bar to give you a chance to chat to different people. Some did drift away later in the evening. I don't know if to go home or into Soho. It was a wet evening so I don't think there was much desire to go walking anywhere. There were still plenty of us when the bar shut. All in all a well organised and friendly event in a friendly central London space. |
