Performance venues

The best theatres, concert halls and music venues in London: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own work, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.

What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance

The Retro Bar

Up an alley off the Strand, with a jukebox where the dancefloor would be.

Late

The Retro Bar is at the top of a flight of steps in George Court, an alley running between the Strand and Chandos Place, and is easy to walk past twice. It is the alternative one - indie, goth and eighties on the jukebox, a quiz on Tuesdays, a small upstairs room - and it has none of Soho's scale: the whole place holds about as many people as one floor of a bar on Old Compton Street.
