I went to The Roxy a couple of weeks back and loved it, cheap drinks, friendly bouncers, good music, good atmosphere and generally good vibes. Will definately be returning and would recommend if you're into rock music and edgy party scenes.
Was absolutely appalled with the door policy when I came here with my boyfriend. The bouncer refused to let my boyfrind in accusing him of having had a "skin full", which was utter rubbish as he hadnt been drinking! He was left embaressed in front of his friends and the bouncer was so rude to us when I told him he was out of line and had made a mistake. I asked to see someone senior for a second opinion on this (as all my friends were inside awaiting our arrival) and I had a business card thrown my way. . . nice! I dont know whether it is nice inside but due to the incompetant security my friends nor I will be returning! Ha!
It isn't the biggest venue but has usually a good crowd and plays great great great music, so fun for a night out with friends wanting to dance!
Worst place I have ever been in London
I really liked The Roxy when I went. It was dark with atmospheric lighting and very reasonably priced drinks. The highlight for me at The Roxy is their Tuesday night club which starts at 10pm and is called Panic. It plays very good indie, post-punk and electro, and I have to say, was one of the best nights I've had out in central London for a while!
The Roxy really is just the Office Bar with a makeover. The cheesy music policy remains as do the cheesy punters. This place has a role to fill and does it well but it's not for me. Hey, at least they got rid of the orange walls. The Roxy is a bit of a wasted venue. Perhaps they will get more adventurous!
I have to say that The Roxy was not one of my favourite bars! I think this may have been purely because of the night we went on. The layout of the club was sexy and sophisticated though. The DJ at The Roxy on the night we went there had no clue about what she was playing and she really didn't get the crowd going at all!
I decided to meet a friend at The Roxy for a catch up chat & drink. Firstly, it's quite difficult to find - look up for the yellow neon hanging sign (which could be for a Chinese takeaway) as it's only otherwise a low-key doorway next to another larger bar.
When we finally got in it was not what we expected at all. It was extremely reminiscent of a student union bar - dark, gloomy, smoky, full of drab looking people. On top of that, the music was already really loud (it was only 8.30pm) and there was no area where you could get far enough away from a speaker to have a conversation. I can't speak for the drinks or bar staff as we left The Roxy immediately and went to the pub next door (which had fantastically good value drinks). How disappointing.
