The Loop

I only had a mojito but it was goooood :) The bar upstairs is nice and light but apparently downstairs is verrrrry noisy (not great for a post work drink but I am sure fun for a night out?). They have a happy hour (can’t remember the deal) during the week. Their cocktails don’t seem anything amazing but are standard and thirst quenching!

This comment concerns only people who want to have a drink in the afternoon.
We went there around 5pm just to get a refreshment and I must say it was not the best place to be. True, they are unlucky because at the moment there is a construction site in front of the bar which means that there is literally no one in there during the afternoon and you can’t drink outside (or at least you don’t want to). I will probably need to change my comment when the construction is over even though I don’t when that is…
Plus the drinks are more expensive than in the other bars I have been to, there is no beer under 5£.
It might be a good place to party though. Indeed, the room downstairs looked really nice and at the end of the afternoon people were starting to arrive for some pre-​drinks…

Awesome if you’re looking for a night out dancing. 80’s music in the basement level is my favourite.
The only down side to this place is the extremely rude security staff. Nazis!!! I’ve been many times and every time they’ve been extremely rude.

Loop Bar is one of my favourite and regular places to go to, if I am looking for somewhere to dance and have good old regular fun. Its not pretentious, door policy and vibe of the club is relax, there are ample of dance space, three floors with two being dance floors, current music played on middle floor, and lower floor playing — and my fave 80s tracks. — I love the fact they have disco theme, with multi light grid floors and large booths.
They do happy hour on food and drinks, and they welcome birthdays.

Having never been here for a night out my friend brought me here and we had cocktails in celebration. Loved the two-​for-​one until 8pm and then the pornstar and mojito offer til 10pm. We think they were filming Made in Chelsea as some of the boys popped up on our Happn accounts. So maybe if you want to have a shot at being on TV this is the place to go!

This place is located two blocks from Oxford Circus. I came twice for group events and every time this place was packed to the brim and it’s often hard to move around in. The lower two ground floors are designed for dancing and are equally packed and stuffy. You can find the coat check on the lowest floor — it’ll cost you 2 quids per person.
Not bad but not good either. I wouldn’t come here unless it was for an event.

Yea… not my scene.
I came here for a friend’s birthday gathering, a banker (you know it goes downhill from here). Unfortunately it did have that «bankers-​night-​out» feel– you wouldn’t dare find people of the artsy ilk here. While it’s going for the exclusive, chic direction, it ends up feeling generic– it doesn’t help being a stone’s throw away from Oxford Circus.
I was on the 1^st floor bar– nice décor and such but nothing to rave over. I passed through downstairs where the pumping ‘club’/dancefloor is, and as much as I love to cut a rug, I had no desire to stay and linger. And that’s really sad coming from me.
If you prefer a place with a dire lack of ambiance then this is the place for you.

I think I read from one of the screens that happy hour (50% off every item incl. food) is every Sunday — Friday between 5−8pm. That is pretty good if you’re looking for cheap drinks in a very good central london location, just around the corner from Oxford Circus station. The place has 3 floors. The ground is quite busy and plenty of natural light. The lower ground a bit dank but with more bar staff. A dance floor is the highlight in the basement.
The food and drink would be quite pricey if not happy hour, but it’s happy hour on everything so who am I to complain. The music is loud and the dance floor can supposedly get packed.
Great place for after work drinks in the area. Perhaps nice for lunch on the ground floor, but given the many other places I want to try in Soho, this place doesn’t go very high up my list for food.

Having reached the grand old age of nearer to 40 than 30 I must say I’m reluctant to go to a lot of clubs. I don’t like arrogant, drunk men and girls who feel like they’re SO pretty & SO awesome that they can flick their hair in my face.
I had no option in going to The Loop as it was for my friend’s hen do. So I went. AND I ENJOYED!
We were given a booth near the main dance floor, complete with lots of jugs of cocktails and some mediocre cupcakes. We were just near the DJ booth actually.
The music was great — lots of 70s and 80s fabulous music that you just can’t not dance to. Even in a place full of hen-​dos, and it was, it was still really good fun.
I wasn’t drinking so have no idea what the drinks costs were and I don’t know how much it cost to get in as we were on the guest list but I’m sure I’ll be going again so I’ll find out then.

This place is a real mix of styles…3 floors, all different. The bottom floor was a 70’s-esque dance-​floor, accompanied by the cheesy music too. Fun… but I could only enter once I’d had a fair few drinks! Middle section was good… good mix of current music, and a nice mix of people. There is a restaurant area through the back of the middle section, though I did not venture there. The top floor (entry level) is a basic bar, which leads to the smoking section (which is very long and thin, and isn’t too sociable). The drinks were fairly priced for central London — I was drinking Caipirinhas all night and paid £7 a drink. Happy Hour was from 6−8pm but we missed it, as it seemed far too early to get there! It was free entry before 10pm, otherwise £8. Overall, a fun night, but The Loop is not on the top of my list to revisit.

This place is huge– a combination of bar, club and restaurant. dressy.
booked a table on toptable and was able to get 50% off whole dinner bill at their restaurant. ordered some cocktails for happy hour, the cocktails came out to be around £1.60 each, wowza!!! price was alright for happy hour.
the menu consisted of a few common starters (salad, soup, shrimp, chips…), mains included burgers, steaks and fajitas– quite a fusion selection of food (there were even green curry). the dessert choices didn’t sound very appealing though (hot fudge, key lime pie, waffles, sundae.)
the service wasn’t very prompt either, as it took a while for the waitress to get us our jug of water and our drinks. the food also took a while to come regarding the fact that there were 6 of us on the table. the dining area wasn’t the best spot for an intimate dinner meal, noisy and the table area was a little cramped. party peeps start heading in at around 9:30, making the bar area a little more crowded– well, that’s expected.
we ordered ribs– which was really worth the munaaay$£$!
fajitas was a little overpriced, and a little too oily. plus C’MON, a little more salsa wouldn’t hurt!!!
green curry– wasn’t spicy enough for an Asian but the sweet coconut milk taste was quite mouth watering.
the lamb was mediocre, but towards the fancy side as of its presentation.
overall, i’m not sure if i’ll come again as there are many Nottingham-​esque peeps who are not exactly my choice of community. but with the 50% discount, i guess my wallet is feeling slightly happier than my stomach is.

Good place to go out on a friday night.

It’s the new Sway. Or at least that’s what my friend Dil says in his quest to find the next girl for him. What that exactly means is still a mystery to me but from what I’ve gathered I think it’s the place with decent rnb music (or at least nothing techno/​trance/​house), serves black sambuca at a fair price, and has attracted a significant portion of the brown (and by this I mean Indians, Pakistanis, Sri Lankans, etc) community.
All of this combined makes Loop a bit of a madhouse, but almost always sets up the night for a lot of fun. From memory (which is a bit hazy), there are three levels. The top level is where you enter and is composed of a bar and some seating. It’s relaxed, relatively quiet, and ultimately good if you need a break but not for much else as it’s not very private.
Down the stairs you go and you come to the middle floor. This is highlighted by a big central bar, dim lighting, flashing strobes and colours, and lots of people dancing. It’s not massive and the bar in the middle tends to segregate groups but it’s alright if you have a party of your own and you don’t care for mixing with strangers.
The second basement level holds some key areas: i) toilets, ii) coat check. This is the biggest dance area with a raised central dance platform (which you aren’t allowed to bring drinks onto and will be chucked off fairly quickly if you try). I honestly don’t know what 6 inches of raised platform make a difference but it does give you an excuse to down some liquid courage before trying it on with the person of your choice. This is the highest energy point of the bar/​club and definitely the best if you want to throw some shapes.
Other thoughts… hmmm…well the below ground nature does tend to make the place hot and steamy so dress accordingly (though that’s rarely an issue for girls). The coat check is awkwardly placed and creates hellish lines at the end of the night. Cover ranges from £5−10 depending on the night. Yep, all in all, it’s a good place to go for a casual night out and you can hit the casinos right after if you are so inclined.

Epic spot to really kick your night into gear. 3 floors, 2 dance floors, more than enough bars to always get service. Go if you are ready to have a good time. Music selection not really my thing, but awesome dj.

I went to go eat there to help celebrate my friend’s birthday. I was a little apprehensive about dining in this nightclub, especially on a weekend.
My friend reserved a table for 10 people and we were all squashed together like glue. Service was appalling, food was so not worth 19.95, very noisy so forget about trying to make conversations with people and to kill it off it took them more than 2 hours to deliver our food.
The only thing I liked about the Loop Club is the disco light dance floor on the lower ground floor. Other than that. meh never again!

Happy hour till 8 pm meant we could have a few drink before settling down for dinner. I treated 2 friends from India who want to go to a club. The staff were friendly and it was slightly exclusive as you had to book and can not just walk in. Weather was great so they had some of the bar girls dress up in 70s theme aerobics outfits and dance around. It was fun to watch and we had photos taken with them.
Food was also a great deal as we booked through
and got 50% discount. after that we were treated to 70s and 80s disco music and danced the night away. I left early as I had to get home before midnight but last I looked the 2 guys from India were strutting their stuff amidst a bevvy of girls!

If I had a penny for every time I have been to Loop… I’d have thrupence.
In all seriousness… I have been to Loop SO many times over the last decade. I think I spent 5 Birthdays there. It used to be that good.
Easy for everybody to get to. Easy to get home from late at night. Great crowd. Decent drinks. Downsides were always that you had to queue to get from one floor to the next. It was a bit like Super Mario but with Eastern European bouncers. Other pains were the terrible toilets and the ridiculously long queue for the cloakroom.
For a couple of recent years, this all stopped. It was replaced by hundreds of sweaty tourists or on some nights… nobody at all! It really was in decline, and without a doubt a hideous place to spend your hard-​earned cash of an evening.
However, my friend and co-​conspirator of many a Loop fueled night, Mark and I stopped by. The place was heaving with a buzzing crowd, the interior had been given a spruce-​up and best of all… an old-​school a multicoloured back lit dance floor.
I was won back immediately.

I recently went here as part of «Girly Night Out» with my female co workers. Maybe my coworkers don’t go out that much and wanted the over-​done-​Leicester Sq-​type place, but I wasn’t feeling it. Seems like these clubs just use the same formula for «club/​bar atmosphere» with a tweak here or there.
The place had three floors with different music… lowest level was a bit dingy and stuffy I thought.
Drinks were decently priced for a club
If you like all the place in Leicester Sq then I say give this place a try because you’ll get the same feel… with out as many people hawking their clubs to you as you walk by. BUT if you aren’t a fan of the L sq .keep on walking.

Dear Girl Bouncer,
I know you are paid to be imposing but are you also paid to be illogically judgmental? I’m glad that when I apologized to you, you decided to make the command decision of shouting that I «wasn’t really sorry!!» Are we going to fight now? In the rain? While you’re checking ID’s and your colleague is giving you a nonsensical look of confusion?
xoxo,
Me
Also, this place needs more dancing, more alcohol variety, and less people selling flowers.

During University I went to quite a lot of awful, trashy club nights, a few of which were at Loop. The top floor is a fairly standard modern, smart bar which has outside seating. The downstairs is larger with seating, a bar and a dance floor. The décor throughout it is smart standard, as at any Leicester Square club. The bars are well-​stocked and when I went there were often drinks deals.
The music was largely wannabe middle class r’n’b/rap with a crowd to match. Though I would imagine this is dependent on the club night as during the evening it is popular with office workers.
Not an awful place, particularly if you stay upstairs, but essentially the kind of place you wouldn’t be if you’d planned ahead.
