I had to laugh at elsm's review below "I was overcharged, treated like scum and even hit in the face". Welcome to Romford mate!

I agree with below. This is by far the best bar in Romford if your on a good night out. People are generally a bit older (20's) and they get a bit more dressed up to go into edwards rather than just yates, custom h or the wetherspoons next door. I've been drinking in romford for years, so can definitely say that the barman/barmaids are so much more friendlier and smilier than the other bars in town. They even drink in the pub themselves on their nights off. On bank holidays or xmas / nye - they usually have a fancy dress which is always funny to see. My perfect Sat night out would be dinner in Edwards about 6pm ish, with a few cocktails, and then gets going with with dj about 8pm ish I think. Its cool that there is an upstairs as well, and you can look over to the dancefloor from the balcony.

I really like this place, it gets busy on Sat nite, but the staff serve fast and work efficiently. Edwards is a great place to start the night, they don't charge you at the door, and you can have great fun before hitting other late night venues like Opium or Liquid. Dress code might be a little bit strict, but I think they just want to avoid chavs and loud footie fans. Been there during the day, and had some nice meal deals- strongly recommend! Great music on Friday and Sat nite, def go back ;) ooh, and they do " GAY NITE" on Tues, drinks are well cheap, you can a round of 5 drinks for less then a tenner.
|
I dunno what these other comments are about: the doorstaff were really helpful to me last time i was there! I go a lot during the day and at night, and the staff are always friendly to me!
|
The staff are riduculously unfriendly and croud are way too aggressive.
I'm from london and my fist night there I was overcharged , treated like scum and even hit in the face .
do not waste your time going there beleive me.
|
Always found the doorstaff friendly and welcoming, the same cant be said for the bar staff who seem to serve their friends before anyone else. Prices are fair, music good.
|
The bouncers are really nasty there I felt really unsafe they where rude and full of themselves there was one bouncer a WOMAN who walked around the place like she owned it. I felt embarrassed for her! I couldn�t believe it they where on there phones and joking around with each other. Their whole security and bar team are awful. When you finally get a drink it�s a reasonable price the club is over filled and more and more people are let in its an unacceptable place to be and I strongly wouldn�t recommend it.
|
Last time I went there the bouncers were really nasty to me and wouldnt let me in and were gonna call the police, insisting my ID was fake. I sed call the police then cos im no criminal! (on the nite bus home spoke to a woman who was 27 who didnt egt let in!)They also sed they were gonna make sure I didn't get in anywhere else that nite, well thats put me off ever going there again.
|
Bouncersare awaste of space ive seen yates doorman have a fight and they would just embarress this lot they couldnt fight there wayout of a paper bag. Yates Doorman dealt with there problem the way it should b not like theses bunch of wasters! Dont feel safe with this lot looking after me...
|
the dress code is far to strict. you cant get to the bar most of the time and when you do you need to be getting about 4 drinks for yourself at a time. wouldnt go there again on the weekend. waste of time!!

Always a good atmosphere. Friendly, welcoming doorstaff and the bar staff are always smiling.
The prices are reasonable.
The music is always good, especially on a sunday when DJ Scott Angry Anderson is on the decks.
It does get very busy though.
|
OK if ur a wannabe middle class kind of guy, Edwards is the place for you. Its a 'look at me' kind of place... Look how much money im pretending to have!! lol
Music is alright though, scott anderson is there at the minute. who can atually DJ.. so thats good.
Upstairs is a little less busy, downstairs is just a joke most of the time. drinks prices are average.

pretty crap really. unless you want a fight, which you'll always get on the weekend ... if you really have to, go ij the week when it's quiet and laugh at the beckham wannabees drinking cheap champagne!
|
dont bother going in edwards on a friday or saturdday night.
Wont even be able to get near the bar upstairs or downstairs because there is too many people let alone get a foot in the door.
Strict dress code.
no footie clothes so dont go there to watch football, not as if its shown in there much any way!!
|
Nice girls but you wont pull in edwards

this is a pretty decent venue, although im pretty bored of it these days having been countless times, so havent been for about 6 months.
its an ok place where u tend to get mostly the 'pretty boy & girl crews' hanging out as its on the cooler end of the specrum within romford.
expect to queue at the weekends, and expect to have to spend 15 minutes to walk 20 feet due to it being so packed all the time. dnt worry about previous comments about the booth seats - unless u go during the day, or get there bang on when it opens in the evening - u wont get one!
drinks are pretty expensive as well... think it was about �3+ for a bottle of lager last time i went.
overall its a good place, bit too busy and at times a few idiots in there as well. but excellent music and generally a good atmosphere to start a night.

One of my past favourites thanks to its two levels, wicked tunes, seating booths, dancefloor and balcony overlooking the dancefloor (which is ideal if fights and/or cleavage are a personal source of entertainment). I've spent a couple of Christmas Eves in here and have got obscenely drunk there many a time. Unfortunately, this also means I don't remember much about it; it's not the kind of place you go for a 'quiet drink' and if you're in there during the day you're missing the point.
If you're local, there's invariably someone in here you're trying to avoid because it can hold so many people. Thankfully it's easy to escape to one of the secluded booths if you get spotted. You'll often find yourself having to queue to get in on a weekend and, being in England, usually in the rain. Also, if you find yourself parked any less than five metres away from one of the monstrous speakers, you'll come out with a raw throat from shouting at your mates, and ringing ears cos it's so loud. But fair play - you can't play good tunes quietly.
All in all not much bad can be said about Edwards if you're out for a good night. But if you walk in and notice all the blokes have got the same haircut, you're too old. Nothing special, but better than average.
