Great rooftop bar with amazing views . Drinks are well priced and the DJ's set just the right mood. The blankets on the lounges are a nice touch. Nice crowd of a Friday for after work drinks.

Lizzie P

Perfect rooftop bar for a few after work drinks with the beautiful backdrop of St Paul's behind. It is pricey and will most likely be full of suits

Vasken Jermakian

The service is indifferent to bad. Aloof receptionists think they're holding the keys to heaven. This is a place NOT to take any important guests; go with friends for a glass and great views of London

Marina Bystryakova

Main courses were great, starters were very basic, rice pudding unusual, music was kinda outdated but made a nice ambiance anyway, the view was incredible tho, definitely worth it

Christine D

Great cocktails ! Try the pornstar martini with passion fruit and vanilla , one of my best drink I ever tasted

Essie S

Best place for a sundowner and post work drinks. Amazing atmosphere on a Friday evening. Can get too crowded though.

George Kyriakos

The outdoors tables are not really configured for eating, unless you sit on the high chairs . Otherwise an excellent spot for both lunch and dinner . Good views of St Paul's Cathedral and West London.

Jessica

Amazing view of St. Paul’s. Go up there for the sunset ! Cocktails aren’t too expensive , £10-£12.

Emily L

Good cocktails and great view of St. Paul’s. Not personally my vibe (lots of suits and ties) but can see how it appeals to certain crowds.

Yakaday Koroma

Great place for a fancy cocktail or glass of champagne good atmosphere food it tasty and looks great

Brittany Sübers

Madison is a fun spot with a lot of pretentious people that I would avoid if you can!

Jess

Try their " angel's lips" cocktail , with alcohol , hazelnut ( toschi nocello, Italian liquor ), and strawberry , delicious !

Manju Bagga

we had a early dinner here on a Friday night, service was great and the waiters were very attentive to us. The kings flute cocktails was nice!

Gabriele Guidoni

My “A la carte” menu suggests: Italian charcuterie board, 250 gr Argentinian Sirloin w/ fries and a Rosé wine .

Ben

One of the best views for people who don't work in a high-story office . St. Paul's looks nice from here. You don't have to be a guest of the bar to enjoy the view .

stelios kafetzakis

Very nice view . The staff is very kind. Nice place for coctails or coffee

Kevin Huber

Post card view of St Paul's bring your friends from outside London here. Also good first date spot in the summer.

Jon Moore

Wonderful views , great drinks. If you can sit outside then it’s great, don’t bother if you have to sit inside, it’s a bit tired ????

Danny UK

Stunning views , lovely cocktails and - thanks to the great British weather - absolutely empty when it was raining hard.

Christine D

I had such a great service, I am really surprised of all those bad comments. Great view and great food, it's a must!!

Mike Anderson

Amazing, possibly the best location for a sunny London evening. Service is absolute dog shit, and the Charcuterie board contained meat probably found on the floor in a corner shop

Ray de Silva

The view is great, the snack food is excellent and on a fine day the terraces are superb!

ahmed

One of my favourite bars in the City of London. Great rooftop view of St Paul's Cathedral and of London in general

Zeynep Ozturk Ozyer

Amazing view of St Paul’s and service is great. A good place to have an after work quick drink.

Kristina Pham

Beautiful view but very crowded in the evening, good luck on finding a table outside

Sera Koç

Henrick's & tonic and the view of St Paul's amazing???? outdoor is nice with with sofas and umbrellas plus heaters????

A-Young Han

Rogie

Really nice bar to chill out in, love bands every Tuesday and Thursday. Spectacular view of central London from the rooftop !

Darren Degiorgio

Long queue to get in (as it was sunny) but once up there unbelievable views , beers were £4 a go, service not too bad and atmosphere spot on. Good after work hangout.

Angela Fllt

Best view of London and St Paul's church although service is a bit slow.

Christine D

Really good food ! Love the octopus carpacio ❤❤

Kopernikus

Great view of St Paul's cathedral . Nice cocktails and crowd! Wiortg a visit

Federico OM

One of the best views in skybars in London! Go just before sunset ! It's truly amazing! Specially for a date.

Olin

Great space and terrace ! Recommended

Diana Kamil

Best to arrive early on Thursday to Sun, or make dinner reservations to avoid queuing :)

Jacek S

Beer (2/3 pint) costs around 4.5 pounds. Its nice there. Heated seats and excellent view .

Emilio Lara

Awesome views , wonderful atmosphere. Lovely place to chill or celebrate.

Omari Allen

Go for the amazing view , not the food. The meal and cocktails were just okay for the price. Plus a 15% “optional” service charge?? Don’t be fooled. You don’t need to tip in the UK.

Jessi @2feet1world

Fantastic scenic views and great Sunday brunch menu . Service was excellent too.

Amy Steele

Lovely rooftop bar with a gorgeous view of St Paul's and London skyline.

Rooftop bar with great views . Get there early to get a seat!

Gene Tiongco

Nice place to have drinks and catch up with friends. Hip and it's happening!

twee_d

Friendly if inefficient staff , awful restrooms/loos/call them as you may. But as a drink venue after 10pm, truly stunning views (warm blankets and heaters for smokers much appreciated)

Андрей Тимофеев яблоко

One of the fairest priced bars with an amazing view . (Still very expensive )

Jessica Young

Great view in the outdoor lounge but always overcrowded, only bearable on a Thursday night if you have an area reserved

Michaël Korsec

Great view over London and St Paul. Nice atmosphere, definitely recommended!!
