     If you're trying to get something up and running, just being in a space with people in the same situation is great. Various individuals have different knowledge and experience to share. Even though I only spoke a couple of people, together with the presentations, I came away with more of an understanding of what I need to do next.

     Simply the best non corporate(suits) group on the internet in London if not Europe. There are some very intellegent and skilled individuals who will give you very forthright informed comments on your idea/concept. Everytime I attend I learn something from other attendees and share my skills with attendees. So get out of your comfort zone and let your peers rough your ideas up.

    Nicholas Del Conte on Apr 25, 2009.

  • MiniBar

     3) The guy who talked about Amazon web services should never have presented. If you allow this crap presentation to happen ever again then people will not come no matter how attractive the subject 

    Alain on Apr 25, 2009.

  • MiniBar

     If you're an entrepreneur looking to meet other entrepreneurs, come along! Don't come with an agenda though - just come to meet people.

  • MiniBar

     A good way to learn what other great ideas are about and how it can inspire you. Meet new people in your field and some you may know already. Help others too if you can and share what you know. 

    Kerry Malone on Feb 3, 2009.

  • MiniBar

     See how people are making money from web apps. It doesn't have to be an original idea, just one you package, sell well, and people need. Inspires you to think about different ways of sellling/developing your own products. 

    Kate Mayfield on Feb 2, 2009.

  • MiniBar

     Great place to meet and mingle with talented and creative people. Excellent presentations showcasing hot information that every web technology entrepreneur and/or enthusiast should know. 

    Max Irwin on Feb 1, 2009.

  • MiniBar

     If you are looking to start a web based project, or have a project in its early days, this meet up is an essential place to share and learn of other people experience and knowledge. You can't put a value on meeting other people going through the same challenges as yourself. Startups are testing, and simply knowing others are facing the same difficulties is useful and encouraging. We can't all be wrong!

     It is a good opportunity to meet people and give an elevator pitch. Keep it short, keep it tidy! 

    Peter MacRobert on May 31, 2008.

  • MiniBar

     To engage with a range of intelligent, driven and creative people who are passionate about their area of work. As a consultant to government being able to mix with this group was very refreshing. 

    Michelle Lyons on Apr 28, 2008.

  • MiniBar

     Its a great opportunity to get out of the office, look above the parapet and see what else is going on in this exciting space and who's dong it. Good to chat and network with others.

     It's a great place to showcase your tech startup and get to know interesting people. 

    Fabio De Bernardi on Mar 28, 2008.

  • MiniBar

     Many startups comprise only a few people, by networking at minibar you get some great connections, inspiration and the opportunity to bounce larval ideas around with people likely to "get it." 

    Steve Ganly on Mar 6, 2008.

  • MiniBar

     See above - I liked the MiniBar concept and only the music made the goal difficult. Might be good to get more mixing of people - have some way of finding wants/haves and let people set up mini-meetings. 

    John on Feb 23, 2008.

  • MiniBar

     Good people, interesting topics, 

    Kerstin on Feb 23, 2008.

  • MiniBar

     First timer. Will come again (is there higher praise?). 

    Jon Knox on Oct 20, 2007.

     Good group - always someone interesting... 

    sirish reddi on Oct 19, 2007.

  • MiniBar

     Useful, interesting, friendly - and the free drinks are a nice touch. 

    Peter on Oct 19, 2007.

  • MiniBar

     Generally interesting and good for meeting people. Occasional presentation that's interesting and thought provoking. 

    James Andrews on Sep 30, 2007.

  • MiniBar

     Cool that O'Really is involved too. 

    Tristan Spill on Sep 29, 2007.

  • MiniBar

     3 minutes to present made it challenging but not really enough, 5 mins sounds about right, 10 is too much for the MiniBar format. 

    Alex Craxton on May 27, 2007.

  • MiniBar

     Interesting bunch of people. I felt it took a while to warm up, but people were otherwise very friendly. 

    Simon Thompson on Apr 25, 2007.

  • MiniBar

     great bunch, some very interesting characters 

    david ingram on Apr 23, 2007.

  • MiniBar

     Great idea. Eclectic mix of people. Someone should do an analysis of the strange spectrum that are attracted by this beacon in the mist. 

    dan mquillan on Apr 22, 2007.

  • MiniBar

     Very good! :-) 

    Richard Anderson on Mar 5, 2007.

  •  There's a good buzz about the meetings with a good mix of people and lively conversations. 

    Keith Errington on Oct 31, 2009.

  •  Not bad for my first visit... 

    Jason Scrutton on Sep 1, 2007.

  •  If you like drinking and being in a noisy, secluded and unwelcoming bar this is the place for you! 

    Sanchez on Sep 26, 2008.

  •  For the above! 

    Paul Wood on Nov 29, 2008.

  •  Because they like free beer. For 12 minutes. 

    Per Kvalvaag on Feb 28, 2009.

  •  good, maybe a more structured and slightly longer presentation stage, 3 mins per project is a bit mean. I wanted / I offer was good 

    Barry Pretsell on Jan 27, 2007.

  •  Great group not living up to its full potential but plenty of scope to do so. 

    —A former member on Mar 4, 2007.

  •  Could do with a bit more enforced mixing... perhaps. 

    James Bridle on Jun 1, 2007.

  •  Difficult for non-party animals! 

    Steve Dowding on Apr 26, 2008.

  •  I don't think they should unless they are looking to get people onboard to talk about their ideas 

    Sarah Blow on Apr 28, 2008.

  •  FTW! 

    Jon Reay on May 31, 2008.

  •  To network in the startup industry. 

    Evgeny Shadchnev on Jun 27, 2008.

  •  Sound was good, but need to shut the door once the presentations start, it was pretty cold outside and its going to get colder! 

    Josef on Dec 11, 2006.

  •  A change of venue would be good - not ideal for networking. Take a leaf out of second chance tuesday - well lit, wide venue devoid of background noise. 

    —A former member on Jan 26, 2007.

  •  First attendance, I admit, but... it did seem to be over flowing with pretentious "I am an IT /entrepreneur/", therefore what ever sh*te I (i.e. them) listen to OR people listen to from me is worthwhile. Maybe this is the wrong group for me, as I am interested in technical talks and or something socially practical and helpful. I am not interested in seeing how I can take advantage of others, less experienced or youthful people OR the Open Source community for ideas. 

    —A former member on May 26, 2007.

  •  Good idea, but could be done better. Also, 18:00 start is pretty early if you're coming straight from work. 

    Steven Morgan on Feb 23, 2008.

  •  Suggestions - Lights slightly up more so people can really see each other. Allow people to set up and demo wherever they can grab a space to encourage discussion and mingle. Gives the opportunity to share more . 

    Olivia Webster on Feb 25, 2008.

  •  Great place to network and share geeky ideas : ).
