Retro Bar, London
A welcoming West End gay bar that's all about nostalgic fun, Retro Bar is well worth a visit. It's full of quirky, mismatching decor and pretty fairy lights, with an antique jukebox that plays rare, retro tracks to boogie to.
You can nab cheap drinks here, as well as enjoying 70s and 80s tunes from a regular lineup of live performers and DJs.
