The Roxy London Review
The Roxy is featured in these Guides:
It’s always risky when a club ventures to use red lighting, especially when it’s coupled off with loud, retro music, and a type of Moulin rouge décor. The Roxy, however, pulls it off well. Descending down two flights of stairs, customers will be wowed with the sudden illumination of an underground bachelor pad adorned with red walls sprayed with intricate black art. Deep cream chandeliers hang above the bar creating a feminine contrast to a seemingly very male inspired design.
During the after-work hours, the clientele is predominantly young, social, business types, but late evenings tend to attract a more university based type of crowd, particularly every Wednesday, which is a student night. Thursdays offer 4 Decades of Guitar Hits, with music ranging from the Violent Femmes to the Libertines, while Fridays and Saturdays focus on more Pop Indie Cheese and Disco Retro Rock.
Drinks are relatively pricey but the cocktail menu offers a variety of tasty concoctions. The Apple Cosmo is highly recommended but if you’re looking for a night of inebriation, steer clear as the cocktails are a little on the weak side.
The Roxy does offer standard bar food, with a Spanish platter selection including olives stuffed with feta and mini salamis. The paninis are appetizing, particularly the chicken and char grilled vegetables, but don’t expect a wide choice. One gets the distinct feeling that this is not a place to come and tickle your taste buds - it’s a place to drink yourself silly.
As the Roxy is open late most nights, it turns from a trendy bar into a full on nightclub at around 10pm. The downside to those of you comfortably seated in tables in the middle of the floor is this: expect to move yourself to the perimeter of the club and clear the way - it’s about to get messy.

“I went to a gig in London on my 18th birthday and after the gig finished we went on a hunt for a decent club to carry on drinking (on a Thursday night)! We found some flyers advertising Teenage Kicks at The Roxy and thought it sounded ok. It turned out to be the best night out of my birthday (there were 4).
As I'm from "up norf" I always find drinks in London so much more expensive, but the cocktails were just less than £8 which worked brilliantly as there were 4 of us sharing them!
I will definitely go back to The Roxy next time I'm back in London, the atmosphere was brilliant and the people were amazing! The bar staff were friendly and the music was good to dance to! 5*s”

“As a one time visitor to London, the Roxy would have to have been my favourite pub in London. The Indie night we went to was fantastic, even if we did get rolled by a few ladies.. but music was fantastic, the drinks, a bit expensive, but good, and the livelyness was awesome. 5 stars to the Roxy!”

“This night is electric! A place where my friends and I dance till our indie hearts are content. It's very much like drugs enjoyable and totally addictive. The ladies are tasty too (the air conditioning's a good area!). Keep an eye out for me performing my shapes. ROCK!”

“The bar staff here need to learn manners. A group of us went along for a few quiet drinks after work only to be abused by unhappy staff who have serious attitude problems. Colourful language was used by the staff which was completetly out of order. Until management realise their staff need to lessons in hospitality I would steer clear of this place!”

“Friday nights are great and we have been going for about 3 years off ond on. Staff are great and always friendly. The rock music does get too much and that last dj really plays for himself not the crowd. Roxy gets a great crowd in and I have never seen any touble and there is always a relaxed feel.”

“Good, generally. Drinks can be pricey and clientele can sometimes be discerning if you don't come from a nearby office block. Friendly staff, generally attracts a good crowd and drinks are good value during happy hour. Generally, the atmosphere is really good and the music tends to get everyone up and dancing. Friday night is best music in my opinion. Definitely a regular.”

“I Absolutely love this place. I have never had a bad time, the music is great, the crowd is friendly, the staff are cheery and the oppotunity to dance in anyway you like is fantastic. I've only ever been to the Big Night Out on a Friday, turn up about 9 while its still quiet and you can have the dance floor to yourself - you'll appreciate it when it starts to get busy later on.”
