The Life Bar, Romford

Well, what can I say! I spend a fair amount of time in this place on Saturday nites! Saturdays are by far the best if you are 21 and over, Friday nites r for the kiddies! I tend to spend my time upstairs as the music is much better, Rnb, Garage, Old Skool, Funky House and all the latest songs out. And theres a good amount of dancing space plus you can always get served at the bar. The drink prices are a bit overpriced considering it is just Romford! I would probably have a cheaper nite out in London, but cant stand the tourists! Getting into 131 at about 10:30ish will mean you dont have to cue much, also carry I.D. they ID almsot everyone, and I dont look young, so dont forget it! And remember there isnt much of a dress code, I think no trainers, but apart from that where wot u want, most ppl make an effort. Downstairs the music is ok, if your drunk, mostly cheese and some songs at at the moment, and some golden oldies, popular with the older generation - of which I am not a member - yet! Also the price to enter upstairs is far to say a rip off! When I forst ventured into Life it was free, then gradually started at �1 and now over 2 years has increased to �4, bit of a rip off, but worth it coz the music better! Also the toilets for ladies, r nice when they r empty but are like a sauna when they get busy, quick entry and exit is recommended, apply make up in hall way outside! The only bad thing about 131 Is that it closes at 1am! Bit lame when youre just gettin drunk and then u have to leave, u can always venture over to Time & Envy, not recommended, but if your drunk ull love it, and ull love paying nearly 3 quid for a bottle of water! lol
Anyways, back to the point, id definately recommend 131 (always wanna call it Life), take 50quid if you wanna get drunk and are sharing a cab home!
