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.

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 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, 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 |

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 Retro Bar around 9-10pm for drinks and chat until 11pm, and then on to Mr Fogg's Tavern until 1am. It’s not too far a walk 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 night – Covent Girls don't lack for stamina! Heaven at Embankment is the option for the hardcore/late-niters, for which there are known to be a few... ;-) |

We were confined to a table at the back because the pub was packed with other parties, but we still managed to enjoy ourselves.

Fantastic night out starting at Retro Bar then venturing in to Covent Garden before ending at Heaven for late night drinks and dancing. A lovely group of girls, all super respectful, providing safety in numbers to give the confidence to walk from bar to bar. We were welcomed everywhere we went. I made some great friends and I would definitely recommend!
