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 .

Neli Parchik

Fantastic view of the Thames and Tower bridge , and very creative cocktails . They do not accept reservations and tables are allotted for 2 hours.

Yv Onne

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 !!

Ralph Mallett

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?!

Roman Tomjak

£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 :)

Susanna B.

Stunning view over central London, friendly staff & snacks included but pricey !

Jacob W

Stunning views over London. Recommend the Bourbon Bee cocktails - you choose the honey and they do the rest!

Silvan

Great Gin Tonics and free bar snacks

Karina Asheater

The Spring Julep is the epitome of what a ginger infused cocktail should taste like. Tingles perfectly!

Lester Kan

Great view , better service than the restaurants in the Shard just next door. Good cocktails and Mocktails . Highly recommend!

Kaisa Hernberg

Breathtaking views - and prices. You'll get a cocktail for the price of a decent meal. But the experience is worth it.

Megan Luff

Love how they've redone their cocktail menu , making each drink unique and wonderful.

Samuel Heinle

The view . OMG, the view . Even in the bathroom . 52nd floor , unbeatable. Drinks are nice. A very classy bar .

Jenya S

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 .

andrew wong

Fantastic view which almost makes up for the extortionately priced drinks and the slightly OTT service.

Michael Wozniak

Great views . Good service . Nice selection of cocktails . Minimum spend per head - £17.

Robyn Allyn

Incredible view of London’s iconic buildings and bridges .

Simon Schräder

Great view , great cocktails (try the Penta Force), acceptable prices

P-Edward Lieb

Pricey but awesome view and nicest staff on earth ! Must try the cocktails

The views and excellent service

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.
