The Reynolds Bar
Hidden from view behind Charing Cross Hospital, the Reynolds Bar is a gem in the heart of Hammersmith – serving a variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. The staff consists of a dedicated team of sociable and outgoing students from across all year groups, making it a great place to have fun and maybe earn some extra cash. The most popular drink served here is Snakebite – a blend of cider, beer and blackcurrant however we also serve hot drinks and snacks.
Reynolds is where we hold the vast majority of med school social events and it is open five nights a week from 5pm to 11pm. However, on Wednesdays and Fridays we stay open late so our students can party on into the small hours. By day the bar also doubles as a student common room and a cafe serves cheap food and hot drinks to keep you nourished through lectures (or cure that horrific hangover from the night before!).
Wednesday night is Sports Night where the sports clubs come down to celebrate the day’s victories in the usual raucous style. On Fridays we host our legendary bops in which 450+ happy ICSM students meet.
The bar also holds a trophy cabinet housing the vast array of silverwear we collect over the year, a pool and fussball table and some “borrowed” memorobilia from other London medical schools. We also have 2 giant screens where we can show films, television and major sporting events.
As well as being 5th year medical students by day, by night we double up as managers of the Reynolds bar. When we are not serving drinks or clearing up after a heavy night of fun on our nights off, we can be sighted on the other side of the bar enjoying a casual drink (or two…).
The Reynolds Bar is a home away from home and a best friend all in one. It’s the home of med school events and the venue for all of the Freshers’ Fortnight events, RAG week and the infamous bops to name a few. But if you’re looking for a quiet drink after lectures or a place to relax with your friends where you won’t have to pay extortionate London prices, then look no further!
We can’t wait to meet you all in Fresher’s Fortnight.
