A cool funky place, now rebranded as Dirty Martini. The happy Hour is gone (great shame) and I have not been in since it changed. I am not one for 'trendy' bars but I thought this place was great. I will miss it.

A bit disappointed on my last visit. The music was turned right down (no DJ) & my friend make the comment that it was a "good place for a date" as you could talk easily. Past experiences of coming here were of loud, funky house played by v cool DJ's, but when we asked the barman/manager if he could turn it up, he said maybe later if there were more people. The bar was packed.
A great venue but please keep the reputation going of being a good place to go for a boogie & good tunes after the pubs have closed!

I REEEAAALLLY like this bar. Very funky and friendly feel to it early evening and then before you know it it's 9pm and the DJ's are starting, then by the time you run for the last train home you've missed it so you may as well stay until 3! My advice is become a member, the sooner the better. It's free and you get free entry, great drinks prices (where else can you get a beer in Covent Garden for �1.70), invites to tastings and free bookings. Also the girl that runs the membership is hot! A bloody good laugh too... Mmmmm maybe I'll pop in later to see if she's about! Grab a membership and make the most of retoxbar!!!!!

Enjoyed the drinks with jelly babies etc... Staff quite up themselves, I think its some 'im working in central london' powertrip, although frankly i'd just like to be served cheers. Like the music. Look out for deals for special offers at this place on toptable.co.uk

Would have rec'd good rating from me but I saw the WORST behaviour by a doorman EVER at this bar. I will avoid at all costs.

Possibly the rudest barman I've ever met works here. Thoroughly unhelpful to the point of complete indifference. Myself and 5 friends left because of his service.

Great little place! Like the chillie peanuts! Good staff, needs to expand tho. Music very good, especially for someone who doesnt really like house!! Not bad, not great drinks prices.

Thursdays are the best, DJ'S pumping out funky house and they even played "pump up the volume"!
Good looking fun crowd, wicked bevvies, friendly good looking bar staff.

Very good location. Extremely small but cosy. Could do with a dance floor and some more tables. Overall highly recommended.

Cracking spot, there last night. Chilled atmosphere with some very smooth tunes. Just what you need to ease yourself into the weekend

Fan - bloody - tastic. (In my top five for a place to go for a drink at anytime). Good drinks and fast service at the bar. generally a good mixed crowd. Very up for it.
Relaxed atmosphere and NOT pre-tentious.

I visited this place twice and can only remember that the men were very "friendly". I am certainly not complaining. If the drinks weren't so good, I would probably have more to comment on!

Very nice and small place, good for pickup chics, try the coktails for four. They have double Absynt for 7.00 what was good for me.

Went there for birthday celebrations. They make the best strawberry margaritas, amongst other things. Huge cocktail selection. Gets really busy after 11:00 pm, but great music and good crowd.

Very cool little bar - best on a Thursday - go for vodka's they rock. Funky little booths and all round cool atmosphere. Everybody seems to be having a rocking time.
