Bijoux Bar is a great bar! It has gone through some changes in recent times, being the Navy Bar, and @home, and now known as Bijoux. Previously i have been in @home and found it a bit boring, nothing going on, it didnt really have anything to it. It was a small space, and it just didnt feel right.
Now it is Bijoux and i have to say i like it! It plays some great music, the decor and lighting is perfect, and the selection of drinks is better than the rest of the competition. A Better bar than Perdu/Floritas/Baby Lynch/Madame Koo? It could well be!
Staff are friendly, including door staff (wow!) the crowd you get is good, it draws in the trendy-young-mature crowd; The place is not as busy as the others across the road, but that is not a bad thing. The number of people is a good amount, not packed, but not so empty it looks closed.
They sell high end drinks aswell as cheaper ones; 3 different kinds of patrón tequila did not go unnoticed 
and selling Cristal at £250 which is £50 less than the others (they still make a good profit!) and if you wanna go all out you can get whole bottles of spirits, Grey Goose vodka runs at £100. This is what i love-The choice. They might not sell many whole bottles of Vodka, but they offer it. Going in with a big party i would definatly consider buying a bottle, it would definatly be worth it.
Music on offer is cool chart, rnb, hip hop and a house mixture. Its good for a trendy bar to play thing kind of thing, it really is one of the good things which seperates it from the neighbouring bars, who all play funky house; Nothing wrong with that, but if you go to 3-4 bars in a row playing the same stuff it can get old

The diamond strip is a popular place these days, with people even queuing to get into a bar (queuing, for a bar?!?!) espeically at peak times. Perdu bar seems to have found some popularity is lost, with sizable queues outside; But the doormen were clearly on form again, as people were being rejected for no apparent reason; One person clearly upset at not being allowed in had to be restrained by his mates. Perdu and the others have this problem of being a “trendy bar for trendy people” but also want their bar to be for the “normal people, open to everyone”. It clearly doesnt work, with actions like this, a man getting glassed in perdu as i posted before, and so on. It is a problem which these bars seem to have. Tiger Tiger also has had these problems in the past.
