Saturday DJ Night

The Retro Bar's Saturday DJ nights draw a steady crowd to the Strand, in the heart of the West End. The DJs work through indie and pop, mixing in retro tracks that regulars keep asking for. It's one of those places where the bar stays buzzy enough to chat at while the floor has actual momentum to it.

If you're building a Strand evening, this sits well in the rotation. Regular enough you'll see the same names on most weeks, established enough that you won't feel like you've crashed something private. The crowd tends toward people who care about what they listen to, which usually means you'll end up talking to someone worth talking to.
