Very Good Service

Enjoyed the bar , convenient location near Waterloo station, on the South Bank , nice views over The Thames and very good service . Great venue for an early evening drink.

Michael Wilson

We visited the grill and the service is incredible, the food is really good and it's all in a lovely setting. Great place for a catch up

Delicious vegetarian option (carrot risotto was lovely). Very attentive and friendly service , well organised, and venue is stunning. Such a contrast to the tourist trap chain restaurants underneath.

BarChick

If you are on your way over the Waterloo Bridge to the station, then make a worthy detour to Skylon bar for a killer cocktail complete with incredible views of the Thames. Read more

New chef formally of le pont de la tour means more fish on the menu. Beautiful view and excellent French focuses wine list

Georgia KV

Great views , service and food for a special celebration! Recommend the monkfish

Ashleigh Gardner

Skip the overpriced dinner - but worth a visit to the bar for their amazing champagne cocktails and beautiful view over the river .

N Chambers

The main 'Pork ' (pork belly ) dish with mash is really good! Nice atmosphere and good customer service! Also expensive :)

Onwah

Unfortunately I didn't catch the bartenders name but he made the best Old Fashioned cocktail I'd ever had and have never had one as good since

c0uP

Looks more pretentious than it is. Grab a drink or ten, as the cocktails are decent, and reasonably priced, considering the great view you'll get overlooking the River Thames

Grab a panoramic window seat - where windows soar from floor to ceiling - within the chic cocktail bar/grill of the Southbank Centre 's grade 1-listed Royal Festival Hall Read more

This place gets better every next time I go there. But leave yourself plenty of time, because you'll want to enjoy the views as well as the food.

The food, the vibe, the staff and the view

BarChick

Sit at the bar and drink your way through their huge Bellini menu while watching boats on the Thames

Sam Duffy

It's not always clear whether you are booking the fine dining or Skylon grill. The grill is more fun for a weekend lunch so make sure you check when making a reservation .

Brian Storey

Try to book a window table and match a great view with the great food you'll enjoy here :P

Kathryn

Glorious cocktails , beautiful food, amazing view . What's not to like?

Dave Marshall

Great scenic views from most dining tables

Derryck B

Friendly staff , nice service and great view . Take advantage of the Evening Standard summer offer, as its pretty pricey .

Riaz K

Take in that wonderful Panoramic View over lunch .

Antony Hawkins

The cocktail on the winter warmer menu with yamazak whisky and plum sake is incredible

Claudia Costantini

All perfect it is London guys

Elizabeth Valleau

While every dish was presentable at best, the service couldn't have been worse if they had been training us for a dog fighting pit. A boardwalk hotdog would serve you better. Also they have bed bugs .

Rob Clark

Once you start on the cocktails you can NEVER stop!

John Wells

Good Thames views . Relaxed atmosphere and menu to match.

Ali B

Loving the bold 80s theme.

Jess LV

Cocktails might be good but avoid having dinner there. It s expensive for what it is. The pork was terrible si was the risotto . Good deserts (only).

Kate Hills

Have the £20 Brazilian set lunch and get a free ticket to the Ernesto Neto exhibition at the Hayward until Sept 5.

Lisa Shaddick

Try the Adriatic Breeze cocktail - very light and clean ! And the broad bean, feta , artichoke salad was to die for!

Gemma Kaplan

The Bellini bar menu is something special!

Nuha AlMedbal

The food is so good.

Lauren Brewer

Try the Hibiki Season - looks beautiful & comes hot! Basically plum sake & green tea . Yum!

Paul Prowse

Try the Duck and Foie Gras Terrine .... World Class Starter!!!!!

Nixie

Beautiful views of the Thames

Bill H

Pan fried cod was a bit overcooked (tough and dry)

Benn Achilleas

Get the Absinth pipe cocktail for maximum effect!
