picture of Retro BarWith a preponderance of standy-uppy stripped pine bars and corporate pseudo olde-worlde places nearby, Retro Bar stands out by being just a little bit different. Tucked down a little alleyway, it's certainly more Camden than Charing Cross. An intimate arrangements of seats, a smattering of neon-lit nicknacks, photos of rock-stars and a great jukebox all add up to a place suited for a both a swift weekday pint or a longer Saturday night. There was gay-friendly crowd but it was still pretty mixed, interspersed with only a smattering of suited office workers. Certainly, Retro Bar is worth seeking out if you're in the area and tired of the usual drinking places.
