Bar Txt, Croydon

I visited this place the other night for the first time since the change - wow, what a difference!

It�s called Bar Txt now.

The place is cool, clean and comfortable. A huge range of drinks and all beers served really cold, each in the correct branded glasses.

Great music and a fun crowd � you�re made to feel really welcome by the friendly staff, and the service is great.

The food is good too - I had a great homemade burger & I saw people tucking into huge sharing platters - there was a nachos plate & a seafood one.

I really don't understand the "nostalgia" for Bar R. When I dropped in there in May, the place was almost empty and it was really dirty - my newspaper stuck to the table!

The staff weren't very interested or smart - one loser had a tee shirt with "I'd shag me" on it - real class!

The "cheap Thai food" was cheap for a reason - much better food up the road in a proper Thai restaurant.

This is a HUGE improvement on the old place
