Bar Rumba is deffinitly not a place I'll go back too... me and my friends went there after persuaded by a PR, so we were expecting a good place but its like a small dingy corridor room with a stupid excuse for a dance floor!! The music is ok I will give them that but thats about all its got going for the place!!
A friend and I were persuaded to go here by one of those London clubbing guides. We paid ten pounds to get in, and I can honestly say it is the first time that I have totally regretted entering a club in London. We decided to go to the toilets and they were so dirty, even the mirror was dirty, as well as being really tiny. I didn't end up peeing, because the toilets were just rancid.
The main dancefloor was like a thin corridor with some dingy little tables, the bar was awful. The whole place was so grimy. We left in under 2 minutes and needless to say I am never going back.
I must agree with the other reviews this is the only venue ive been to where the Music hasnt made me leave the dance floor, it kept banging out the tunes all night!
mostly a black croud, but despite what you think their all very friendly up for a laugh dance and heck they even buy us ladies drinks! shock shock!
The decor could definetly do with a lift up, it reminds me of the old hammersmith palais or po na na as it was renamed for a short while, bar staff are very friendly as are the toilet staff, drink prices are reasonable im a spirit drinker and they always have what me and my friends want.
has a few seating area's which on busyer nights your better off reserving for free in advance, its so worth it!
the bouncers are miserable looking but as the ni8ght wears on you realise they just have a warped sence of humor as anyone putting up with west end wabblers would!
overall wicked venue very urban its just a shame its a bit grotty as if they did it up their'd be no hesitation in getting all dressed up for it and have your special occasion there!
I went to Bar Rumba on the 12th, my first time - and OH MY GOSH. I don't know what I have not been there before. Im telling you if you want a place where you can get propper music ALLLLLL NIGHT Long. this is the place to be. I have not danced so hard ("or so dirty") in time. They had it all - if you like your regge, bashment, old skool hip hop, R&B;, the works, it was there that night. If your thinking about going... dont think, just go!!!!
I went to Bar Rumba on a Saturday night it was my first time in Bar Rumba, I found it very dissapointing.
First of all, It seemed the bouncers would let anyone in as most people dressed VERY poorly and most people in the club looked under age and young school boys outside the club entrance asking the ladies 'can i get in with you?' , I was quite worried as the 'bouncers' did not seem to search anyone and they scanned my passport?...With identity fraud so high i felt slightly worried. As i got in the cloackroom was full so we had to wait 20mins to put our coats down. The bar was also poor, very bad deco and they did not have any malibu or pineapple juice left and served drinks in plastic cups like it was a school disco. If you are like myself and like classy, well maintained and high class service i strongly DO NOT recommend this club.
I went to Bar Rumba on Friday night with the girls and it was awesome!!!The music was brilliant, the drinks not to bad but the entrance fee of £10 is a bit to much i think. But all in one it was a great night out, i sure will go back.
Been going to bar rumba on Fri & Sun for a while now. I have to say this is the only club in the west end where you can get REAL music! Old Skool in the back bar is a nice addition too.
Bouncers can be little difficult but just so long as you are nice they will be nice too!
Wouldn't come here unless you're looking to party hard! You either love it or hate it and I love it.
Spent friday night at the legendary Rumba. As always the music and atmosphere was incredible.
Wanna say thank you to the lady who works in the toilet. My mate had a bit too much to drink and spent most of her time in the loo but the attendent was very sincere!
Had to stay til the end - the DJ's were playing so many good tunes I couldn't stop dancing until the music stopped - they had to throw me out lol!!!
