Forget overpaying for a lift to the 'view of the shard'! Visit Göng instead to enjoy the view with style while enjoying a nice cocktail ! Book ahead & ask a table by the window.
Been here twice and it’s a nice splurge when visiting London - the views are incredible. The speciality cocktails are uninspiring imo; go with an old fashioned or a martini .
Fantastic view of the Thames and Tower bridge , and very creative cocktails . They do not accept reservations and tables are allotted for 2 hours.
The cocktails we tried were all very good, so just ask the nice staff for your personal recommendation. Currently 18 Pounds per drink, so enjoy a relaxed evening for 80 Pounds for two...
You can make reservations on OpenTable now. I booked about a month in advance. Oh, and be sure to check out the restrooms !!
Amazing views over London from the 52nd floor of the Shard. Cocktails are expensive but incredible. Well worth a visit for a special occasion
The view : incredible. The drinks: very good. The service: atrocious. Inattentive to the nth degree. Aloof. My god, I know to expect some "distance" in the U.K., but where £50 = two cocktails , really?!
£30 minimum spend per person, drinks go about £15-20. No option to book a table and it's live queue . Awesome view of Tower Bridge once you get a window table :)
Stunning view over central London, friendly staff & snacks included but pricey !
Stunning views over London. Recommend the Bourbon Bee cocktails - you choose the honey and they do the rest!
Great Gin Tonics and free bar snacks
The Spring Julep is the epitome of what a ginger infused cocktail should taste like. Tingles perfectly!
Great view , better service than the restaurants in the Shard just next door. Good cocktails and Mocktails . Highly recommend!
Breathtaking views - and prices. You'll get a cocktail for the price of a decent meal. But the experience is worth it.
Love how they've redone their cocktail menu , making each drink unique and wonderful.
The view . OMG, the view . Even in the bathroom . 52nd floor , unbeatable. Drinks are nice. A very classy bar .
Amazing views over London , but nearly impossible to get a window table - live queue . Cocktails are OK, well executed classics but nothing special + overpriced - you're paying for the view .
Fantastic view which almost makes up for the extortionately priced drinks and the slightly OTT service.
Great views . Good service . Nice selection of cocktails . Minimum spend per head - £17.
Incredible view of London’s iconic buildings and bridges .
Great view , great cocktails (try the Penta Force), acceptable prices
Pricey but awesome view and nicest staff on earth ! Must try the cocktails
Fantastic views of London and perfectly made cocktails . A real treat.
It's not on the menu but ask for the Amaretto Sour! Delicious!
The views and excellent service
Lovely views ! Not much difference from level 36 but wider selection of drinks!
Atmosphere and the London view are so amazing ????
One of the 10 bars in London
Tasty cocktails and the best views over London. First come first served - not possible to book a table any more and be aware they have introduced a £30 per person minimum spend.
Cocktails and view !
An amazing view .. so warm place ..
Ask to see the indoor pool .
Book a table to avoid disappointment
Worth it for the views . OK drinks.
Great selection of gin
Not cheap , but... WHAT A VIEW !!
The views ! Not the Oysters .
Great cocktails at £17 a pop!

The cocktail is good! The place is great for dating. - Stephanie Au
Life jazz, awesome cocktails, surprisingly good Indian food. Basically heaven on earth. Prepare to spend for it, though. - Brian Dammeir
Window seats at the front are the best; a great late night option. Solid cocktails and bar snacks. - Tomas Furlong
The architecture and views are phenomenal. The toilets are simply awesome, if somewhat lacking in privacy! Whilst an awesome building and experience, the price is extortionate. - Adam Flanagan
Excellent photos from many location when the sun is out, the bridge could do with a clean / repaint. - Phil Schofield
Try the green asparagus with sesame as starter. Simple, but very tasty. Yummie! - Kai Szatkowski
