Casino Royale

About Me

"Clubland Royalty" said Time Out of Casino Royale, a long-running fixture of London clubbing at The Barfly (49 Chalk Farm Road, NW1) and - on and off - several other places. The club celebrated its 9th Birthday with a DJ set from none other than New York punk legend Marky Ramone!
Upstairs, the DJs take you on a musical journey from the 70s to now, joining the musical dots between the Stones, Smiths & Strokes...
Downstairs, it's a riot of pure 60s garage, psych & Northern Soul.
The night is hosted by the irrepressible Victor de Milo and his Drinks Roulette table, at which everyone gets a free turn!
-
Casino Royale has also recently finished hosting a run of spin-off nights at Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes and at East London edition at The Last Days Of Decadence . News on the return of either when we have it.
-
All nights also host live bands, in association with Corrupt Events (3rd Saturdays) and Campari Safari (1st Saturdays).
If you're a band and want to play, send a message to CORRUPT EVENTS and CAMPARI SAFARI via their MySpace pages. DON'T send a message to Casino Royale.

And look... here we are in BILBAO, on SAT 09 MAY:
