Easy to pass this doorway by on Oxford Street but it is one of the better bars on the strip. Head upstairs and the vibe is definitely dive-ish but friendly. Drinks are reasonably priced and on the night we visited a Japanese DJ was spinning classic hip-hop tunes. Don’t expect much in the way of mixology happening behind the bar but it’s a decent, relaxed place to spend a few hours. thernbdiary.com

Love this little bar. Very small room with big mood and friendly staff. I was here a few times here and fun. Last night we ordered the Pimms jug and it was so good, we ordered another.

When we first went to ching a lings, we were surprised how dead it was just our group and a few in the bar. but when we went on, we realized that the party was outside and we were only there at 930 o'clock. waffel fries with aioli $10) long inseln great service at the bar and a hyped atmosphere. Unfortunately, the waffelfries we had ordered lasted so long and we had to go to the bar to remind them, but the bartender was so accredited and apologised, even gave us “Vakzine” dishes as an apology. yet good moods and a good bar to get to the oxford street.
