<![CDATA[Greater London - Bromley - Beckenham - Eating, Drinking and Nightlife - Bars - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Not bad for Becks http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/bromley/beckenham/bars/slug-lettuce-br31ea.html#r20943 I actually really like this bar; it’s fairly newly decorated and much better than before. By day it’s nice to pop in for lunch, the service is good and staff are helpful. Kids are also welcome. By day it is kind of typical of Beckenham…busy and fully of the same young adults making their way around all the bars! It’s not bad and good as a starting place for a night out.

By night; the music is good, atmosphere is busy and is much like many places in Beckenham. I probably wouldn’t spend a whole evening here but its ok for a while.

Full of chavy boys and girls thinking they are amazing! There are often queues… as it is actually very popular, but doesn’t have that friendly atmosphere that other places in Beckenham do.

The bar is quite small and there are lots of little areas which is much nicer than one open room. The food is good but overpriced. This isn’t my choice of venue but people obviously like it as it is always busy!

My insanely gorgeous friend had her group of about 25 mainly good looking people rejected from coming in because 2 of the boys had trainers on. I know some clubs have this outdated policy but given she had booked an area in the club for her birthday and everyone was obviously respectable it was quite ridiculous.

We went to O'Neills over the road which was er interesting.

The bar is really small and so gets really busy most nights. There's a garden tent bit out the back which hilariously contains a VIP section, which is just a few seats with a velvet rope around them.

It's like going back in time 20 years. If you're a man you're not getting in unless you're wearing a collar and have black shoes on.

That's their basis of working out if you're a trouble maker!

You could a nice friendly person wearing a jumper and a new band new pair of smart trainers but you won't get in. But the scum in the line behind you wearing a cheap polo shirt and a pair of Clarkes will get in.

Little Hitlers all of them.

Once you get past the idiots on the door the place is alright. Although if you pay by card it still comes up as Langtrys on your bank statement which is a wierd throwback to this place's last incarnation.

Like being in a posh working man's club in Wigan
