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 |

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. |

Second time I have been there and found it ideal for first time in a public space Plenty of support from the other " Girls " and a place to get changed and is a lovely relaxed venue with a nice crowd of customers and lovely bar staff. I would recommend the Retro bar to anyone who is starting out and it is handy being five minute walk from Charing cross station. |
