Bad Management at Wax Bar by supasabrina
I would not recommend Wax bar to anyone, the management are terrible and do not deserve your custom. I had booked an area 3 weeks in advance for my 21st birthday on 7th Feb 09 with the promoter, as advertised on the flyer. When I arrived on Saturday, I was extremely disappointed to find my area was not booked, and this was very embarressing for me in front of my party. The manageress was very rude and not apologetic at all, claiming no responsibility, that this was the promoter's fault, nothing to do with Wax, even though the event is held at Wax! As a customer who chose to hold her party at Wax and bring them income, this was not the response I expected. The flyer says the event ends at 3am, but actually ended at 2am on the night. The security personnel behaved extremely over the top and unacceptably. We were ready to leave at 2am, but were waiting for one of the party to return from the ladies so we could all leave together. But the security guard kept pestering us and physically pushed my fiance and my brother who was innocently standing at the bar! The bar staff even looked shocked at this, as there was no reason for this behaviour. I did not invite my guests to my party so they could be physically pushed at the end of the night! I am extremely angry that this happened, especially with the amount of custom we brought to the bar on this night and the fact that we were doing nothing wrong, we were actually leaving! How dare this behaviour be allowed. The security guard would not reveal his name, as he probably knew what he was doing was wrong. I hope he will be dealt with suitably. There are plenty other bars in this area, but I wouldn't recommend Wax.
Bascially I only come up to London a few times a year for work and have been to this little heaven tucked away from the rush on Oxrofd Street every time. The staff remember me (I dont know whether thats a good thing!). I always end up here for a dinner with a friend that drags onto drinks, nibbles and more drinks into the night becuase its such a chilled out place. Its my home away from home! Thanks guys x
Watch out for the cheating thieves at this bar. I bought 2 drinks and ending up paying for drinks for other people. The actual bill came to £8.00 and the staff decided to add a £30 tip on top of the bill.
I find it quite hilarious that a manager of the bar in question poses as a guest and writes a rave review about it. I think its pretty sad.
I went to Wax Bar last Saturday and it was absolutely grooving.
Great music and really nice and hot bartenders.
If you want to have a great night out, this i definately the place to go!!!!!! No doubt about it!!!!!!!!

After reading the mixed reviews on this page I decided to check it out my-self. I arranged a guest list for me and around ten mates, we were a mixed group so didn't have any trouble getting in. It was a Saturday night and the place was packed decent house music playing downsairs and r'n'b upstairs in the smaller bar. Can't really remember much of the night although my friends say we had a storming time I'll have to remember not to get so drunk next time. ;-)
Organised a birthday party at Wax Bar. One of the worst experiences in my bar-going history. Guestlist was messed up and the male guests were left waiting outside. Despite my constant attempts at trying to reason with the manager, I was fobbed off in the rudest behaviour. I was told that there were too many males in the group, however, this was not an issue when I sent the bar my guestlist. Policies seemed to be made up on the spot and there seemed absolutely remorse on their part. In the end, the bar was only half full and there were obviously far too many girls. I felt completeley discriminated against because the males left outside were all the asian males. Will never go back.
Well well, what a pleasant surprise! I wasn't expecting much from the small entrance but once you get inside and go downstairs you realise its a pretty big and happening place! The subtle lighting and funky music (and I sress the quality of the music here - im tired of going into bars and clubs and hearing the same crap from Britney and Kylie no matter where I go!) is what defines the place as well as a long list of cocktails of all sorts! I've come a few times with friends who always find it a good place to chill out and i highly recommend thursdays when its not too busy that you cant walk around anywhere or too quiet to be boring (not that i'v ever seen it too quiet).
Oh, and did i mention the women ;)
I've only been over here for a couple of weeks and some friends I've made suggested we went to Wax bar. Its really cool to see a place in London that isn't up its own ass or for that matter a complete dive. Really funky tunes all night (it was a Friday not sure what the musics like the rest of the week) The decor is pleasing to the eye with bright colors and an ultra modern look. The staff were all lovely as well as talented bar tenders, just when you think you've tried every mojito in town you discover a place that makes them better. As I'm on a budget it was good to see that the place was not over priced either. Nice crowd loads of cute English girls (my favorite) everyone seemed to be having a great time. This place really is a must.
