Reflex The 80's Bar London Reviews


A fantastic 80s night - Not. - A potentially fantastic 80s night out was damaged by over-zealous heavy-handed security staff. We were celebrating the engagement of a couple, one of whom was almost thrown out for standing on the stairs. Some other guests left at this point, frustrated with the way this was handled. Other friends who had made great efforts to dress up and travel far, were not even allowed in. Security found petty reasons (based on gender/time/clothing/etc) to deny entry. We won't be going back and unfortunately I wouldn't recommend this venue to anyone.

Such a shame... - I first visited reflex on 2nd Aug'08 I arrived on a warm summer evening to find there was no draught Lager/cider available! despite this we stayed & later on in the evening they seemed to find the draught?! Strange...Is there more profit in selling bottle beer/cider? We visited another couple of times after that & nothing spectacular went wrong then last Saturday I went with a different crowd than I usually go with (On my recommendation of a fun night out) we arrived at 20:10 the queue was really long (I have never queued on previous occasions) the bouncer at the front told us that the whole club was reserved to various parties that had booked in advance, I thought this to be ridiculous maybe book 70% to ensure trade but to book the venue to capacity seemed stupid to me, we waited over an hour & eventually as parties did not turn up 1/2 an hour after there booked time they let groups of people in to the size of the non arriving party. They do not charge you anything if you book and don't arrive, silly! When we got in, the place was near on empty!It did fill up very quickly though. This Saturday I visited again with my usual crowd they had tried to book but been told they weren't taking any more bookings but that if we arrived before 930 we should be ok to get in, we arrived at 20:55 & eventually gained entry at 22:30 My point here really is to say most people get dressed up to go Reflex which means they have spent money sometimes up to £100 or more on fancy dress only to have to queue in the cold for ages & not neccesarily gain entry as many just don't want to queue over an hour, I think it is ridiculous & will certainly not be returning, I will also be warning anyone I know not to bother unless they have a firm reservation. If the Management of Reflex read this hopefully they will sort it out. Book up to 70% & say "Get here early to assure entrance" then it is in the hands of your customers! I wonder are they making us queue so they can take £5 entrance price after 22:00 as it's £2 before? Please provide them with my email address should they contact you.

acceptable in the 80s - ok so i'm a huge cheesy 80s pop fan, give me some dmode and im loving life...but i can assure you this place rocks the casbah, you can dress up if you want, a fiver will get you in on a friday night and they serve pretty cheap drinks. Its less than a minute away from mansion house tube.

They play hilarious 80s tracks and have a good mix of luminous greens and pinks as the decor, mixed in with a picture of knightrider here or there. i can assure you, you will have a gangster time.
