Great after hours drinking den - although its hard to know quite how long it is open to - as google maps listing doesnt match what the bouncers say.

Managed to blag my way in just after 11pm on a Friday and they seemed to be calling last orders at midnight.

An upper bar and a packed subterrean bar - where there was a great atmosphere and it was packed.

Stuck with the keg and Budvar Dark served in the correct glass.

Will go again, now I know where it is.

Assuming the bouncers let me in!

I also have not been here for a decade or two since my younger days of visiting the 100 Club but were dragged along here for pre gig refreshments by female friends who wanted a glass of wine and assured me there would be beer worth drinking (which was not in line with my remembrances).
And I am pleased to say that virtually nothing has changed from the reviews below. It’s still a fairly grubby two bar place that gives all the pretence of needing a good clean, the cracking juke box is still there and as it was a warm evening and the majority of drinkers had spilled out to block Hanway Street. I largely put this down to the fact that the toilets are also still diabolical and as well as the risk of falling in them the gents were producing such a pong to classify as a double pegger and after 15 minutes in the downstairs bar we joined the hordes in Hanway Street to get some air.
One positive point was they now have a couple of craft beers including Meantime London Pale Ale as well as the usual ubiquitous Spanish lagers.
Not a place I would make a special journey for, but for the few times I have to go to the hell hole that is Oxford Street, it remains a good way of escaping that madness for a period of time

We used to frequent this place too many times to recall in the late '80s and early '90s and what a hoot. On warm summer evenings drinkers would spill out onto Hanway Street virtually blocking it. It was run by two elderly Spanish wrestlers(?) - their photos adorned the walls - and the price of drinks would vary throughout the evening; no two rounds would cost the same.

The two-floor bar is very cramped and the men's loo was diabolical - so narrow that you'd risk ending up in the urinal if someone passed you. However, it did have a certain charm and today looks unchanged.
