Point 101

its a good bar with a good mix of normal people open till early hours with djs prices ok for west end plenty of seating its not a place for people who think too much of themselves and read too many life style mags good place for normal people in a sea of pretentions that is westend

I have to concur with the lovely Siany here. If you’ll all pardon the expression, this gruesome excuse for a bar is a load of old badger’s cock.
Never mind the fact that it’s packed to the rafters with the sort of people that you’d normally take a transatlantic flight to avoid. Never mind the fact that, on the one occasion I found myself there, the concept of decent barkeeping remained a closed book in a locked tower in a foreign country on a distant planet. I can bring myself to ignore many of those things because they’re part and parcel of going to a «bar» in the centre of the old town. If you like — or are accepting of — these things, go and good luck to you.
What I can’t forgive is the concrete setting. It’s like the Barbican with all the charm surgically removed, assuming that you have both the time and inclination to search amongst the halls of the Barbican, measureless to man as they are, for any whit of architectural reward, then spend your time and energy trying to remove it with a scalpel. I’ve gone a bit off topic here, haven’t I? Where was I?
Oh yes. Point 101. It’s rubbish. Why are you drinking on the corner of Tottenham Court Road and Charing Cross Road anyway? Go into Soho. It’s only a minute away and it’s full of bars. OK, plenty of them are full of the aforementioned dregs of humanity, but then if you wanted to avoid all that you’d probably be at home with a gin and tonic and not standing in the middle of W1 looking for a bar. Right?

This bar makes me want to cry. It’s everything that’s wrong with London’s nightlife.
You only ever end up here because you can’t think of anywhere else to go. You’ll drink too much and you’ll regret it the next day. I don’t know why this place is so bad but I don’t know anyone who’s ended the night well if they’ve ventured into here.
Let me help: Roxy’s is down the road. So is the Intrepid Fox. And the Metro. Go to one of those. Don’t venture into Point 101. You’ll wake up in the morning and regret it.
It’s like all the lost souls of London come here. Don’t be one of them.

Le Point 101 est situé en plein coeur de la capitale, sur Oxford Street au niveau de Tottenham Court Road au r-​d-​c d’une immense tour (Centre point)… L’entrée est accessible, gratuite et la clientèle est cosmopolite… L’ambiance est unique, des gens dansant partout que ce soit au dieuxème étage devant l’entrée ou dans les escaliers… le son est typique londonien… variant du Hip Hop à la House en passant notamment par la Garage !! Première fois que j’entends du Groove Armada en club ! Les consos sont abordables si vous vivez dans la ville, si vous êtes touristes c’est clair que vous trouverez ça chéro ! Un endroit à fréquenter si vous êtes de passage =) Point 101 is located in downtown London on Oxford Street @ the basement of Centre Point… The atmosphere is really unique and the crowd is cosmopolitan, people dance everywhere (stairs, second floor, next to the doors…) and prices are attractive for locals but still expensive for tourists… Music is really enjoyable, Djs play Hip Hop, House, Garage… A place to go if you’re staying in the capital.

Well…
This place is quite trendy and well designed. But it’s somewhat easy to enter this place (or maybe were we lucky ?). The music is loud, so don’t go there to have a long chat with friends… This is a place for Party People as most of them go there to dance. Last time I’ve been there, it was essentially Raggamuffing (or maybe UK people use the word Dancehall) and R’n’B (Pretty hot stuff!). I think it’s a nice meet point before going to a nightclub…
