Upstairs At Ronnie’s
Been a while. Used to go here a lot. Best place in London for a musically accompanied, unexpected late night liaison – eh Susan? For its upmarket ambitions it was kinda grotty – in a good way. The staff were fun. Surprising really – they put up with a lot. The sight lines were all over the place, the bar was chaotic, the food was, well, put it this way, the Phoenix Club is way, way worse. And yet Upstairs at Ronnie’s was great. So is the Phoenix, if you’re looking for cabaret and the like. And who isn’t? But for all things jazz, and late night joy, there was only Ronnie’s. Upstairs.
Now look at Upstairs at Ronnie’s! Spuuuzzzy! Reopening in Feb this year. Is it an old friend in a new frock – or someone new to get to know? I guess we’ll find out.
