As a couple of other people have mentioned, the toilets here are REALLY bad! As a bloke, you get used to the conveniences often being a bit grim, but this place took it to new extremes. Also, a quick note about the guy in the gents who gives out the paper towels and offers a spray of cheap cologne... Does... More

We arrived at Bar rumba having gone with The big night out package and eating at planet hollywood for £26 each. The club was poxy and small and practically as lively as a shopping day in Aldi. Slow and un-proffessional behind the bar, cannot make cocktails to be honest, not even value for money in happy hour. The comedy night... More

Went to the Bar Rumba to see a comedy night with a friend. The staff were all friendly and worked their little socks off behind the bar. Happy hour was handy but we were waiting at the bar ten minutes before happy hour finished and didn't get served until after meaning we had to pay full price since the till... More

We went as part of the Big Night Out Leicester Square £19 deal (food at Grace which was good too) and we did not expect much for £19 but were very nicely surprised. The club is small and personal as it is not a huge venue, but we liked that. The comedians were all very very funny, compere great and... More

When we arrived at the venue we were told that we have to pay the entrance if we want to use the voucher. Really really bad, so unfriendly guy at the entrance. I can't say anything about the venue as... More

Fantasic entertainment, comedians were brilliant, we emailed as my husbands birthday, gave him a shout out and good seats, very impressed. Drinks were resonably priced loved the cocktails for tenner a jug. Don't be put off by the dark stairway to the basement, its actually quite quirky and a great atmosphere, music good and staff friendly, looking forward to visiting... More

This was a surprise last minute booking and didnt really think it would be my thing! I loved it, I only stayed for the comedy but you can stay to party after. Cocktails was lovely and very generous shots were put in it! A downside is you can't choose where you sit in the comedy bit, was second row and... More

I visted Bar Rumba with a group of friends initially for the Big Night Out Comedy Club. On entering the bar/club it was near on empty and we wondered if we had picked the best spot, but as soon as the comedy started we soon realised we were in for a great night. The quality of the comedy was great,... More
