Retro Bar
Retro Bar, George Court, London, UK
Tucked away down a little alley, Retro Bar is one of gay London's secret gems. It's a small, mixed, indie bar, where eccentricities are welcomes. The music mixes 70s, 80s, New Romantic, goth and alternative, and is reflected in the decor, which features photos of iconic rock and pop figures. There's a jukebox with even more great tunes, and multiple regular events every week including quizzes and comedy. If you're in London during Eurovision, the parties at Retro are great fun, but be sure to book a space!
