The area
Address
Neighbourhood: City of London
From its ancient past as a Roman trading outpost to its 21st century status as the wealthiest square mile in the world, the financial district known simply as “The City” is one of London's most historic and fascinating neighbourhoods. Here high rise office towers such as Norman Foster’s Gherkin mingle with Roman ruins and architectural marvels from virtually every era in between, including Christopher Wren's glorious St.Paul's Cathedral, and John Soane's dauntingly classicist Bank of England. This neighbourhood is also home to some of the finest restaurants and plushest hotels in Europe, in addition to an assortment of of watering holes, upscale shops, and Tube stations. During the week, the City is abuzz with white collar workers going about their business; the weekend sees this area turn into a quiet haven for sightseers.

- daithieoinLondon, United Kingdom203 contributionsCracking cocktails, vibrant views!We left the office yesterday after a mundane Monday, and we decided to cheer ourselves up with a cocktail on a rooftop. In The City, there are several places that have roof top bars serving cocktails. In pretty much all of them, you are guaranteed a great view. When it comes to the drinks however, prices may be high but the quality and service that goes with it, doesn’t always live up to the price tag. We were not let down by the team at Jun Bo Law. A warm welcome, promptly seated and an order taken. They even allowed to go off menu and have my staple cocktail… a top Tipperary. Oh, and those views. My camera skills don’t do them justice. Go check it out for yourself.Visited February 2024Travelled on businessWritten 20 February 2024

The place looks stylish and the staff is really friendly. The cocktails are delicious, especially the Old Tokyo Fashioned and Yuzurita, which were my favourites. It's a great spot for a special night out in the city!Visited June 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 June 2024
- mike f9 contributionsMixed ReviewGreat views , friendly staff and cool vibes. My only complaint is do not order a gin If you want it in a straight tumbler with no care and attention. It may have been an inexperienced staff member. However at £16 it should be as good as the cocktails.Visited June 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 21 June 2024
- OzetravellersGold Coast, Australia1,100 contributionsWould be nice to sit on the terrace in good weather (when not raining!)I chose this venue as I wanted a nice rooftop bar for late night drinks and my other presences were either booked or required age >21 yrs so my children couldn't come. Unfortunately by the time we arrived it was raining so we couldn't sit outside which defeated the purpose for us. Also, all outdoor terraces seem to close at 11pm due to noise rules (which was informed on the website). The cocktails were good but very expensive (even for London). Service was good. Vibe was good inside. Overall, it was expensive hour for 4 cocktails and a cab ride home !! (no trains after midnight during the week !!!).Visited July 2024Travelled with familyWritten 15 July 2024

We went here for a couple of drinks each after dinner on a Tuesday night. It was surprisingly busy but it wasn't packed as everyone was sat on tables and they had table service for drink orders. The staff is what made this place for me. Very friendly and welcoming from start to finish and always on hand to help. Only thing stopping me from giving the full five starts was the price was a tad too high and the drinks was not as imaginative as what you'd expect given the price point. The rooftop was great and it was nice to be able to have the drinks outside especially in the summer, but if I'm being picky as its on the 14th floor you don't really get a view as such as its surrounded by taller buildings. If you're coming for a view, I would recommend rooftop bars on the edge of the city to get a view of the buildings from a distance. But if you're looking for a place thats higher end and in the city itself then you can do no better and the reviews for this bar speak for themselves.

Actually expected so much more from this experience. Having planned our evening with this as our last stop we were really looking forward to the view.
Having ordered our £35 for 2 cocktails we asked if it was possible to sit on the terrace to be shutdown by the waitress that others are ahead of us in the queue. Fair enough, we understand but her reply came across quite rude at the mere request. However, the saving grace I feel is the host who clearly understands the guests a little more. She stepped in although we said nothing a table became available shortly after. We very much appreciate her efforts and sincerely thank her and we stayed for more drinks before going down to our room.

Amazing place, the staff were friendly and helpful. Cocktails were delicious and the view is amazing! We only stayed an hour to avoid the minimum spend rule (£75 per person if you are there for 2 hours). The dress code is smart casual but others there had smart jeans and flat sandals so it was quite relaxed (during the day). Definitely worth a visit!

They tried to charge me a 12.5% service charge on a bottle of wine (which was already £36) that I went up to the bar and ordered myself.
When I said I’d put the £36 on a card, the bartender had to cheek to ask how I would be paying the remainder of the bill.
I said, isn’t it a discretionary service charge, he said he could take it off.
I wouldn’t recommend anyone go here if that's how the bartenders conduct themselves. I’m all for tipping table service or even a mixologist, but adding £4.50 to a bill for taking the wine out of the fridge is ridiculous!

The only good thing about our visit was the drinks. The view is overrated and we were given a corner table with no view where we were constantly disturbed by staff going in and out of a side door. My partner had to keep moving his chair around to let them in and out. Even though we had pre-booked and there were other tables available we were given the worst table in the place! I would not go back again as there are other, much better rooftop bars in London. Also there was a lack of social distancing, tables were close together and staff were not wearing any PPE, they just came up to the table as normal to take orders.

I went there for my 21st birthday and was overcharged by more than £50 on my bill. The staff tried to say we were lying and were being extremely rude. This ended up with one of my friends being called names by one of the members of staff.They didn’t treat me and my friends with any respect, which baffled me since we were paying for their ridiculously overpriced drinks. They are unwelcoming and the music is dead - just bad vibes overall!

cosy, small rooftop bar with an outdoor terrace with a unique view covering alot of that area in london. The ambience, design and atmosphere is great, it is a shame it is small but it does add value to it. There is also a back area seperated by a curtain which looks even more intimate. staff are very friendly, tentative and polite. They also organise parties there, and also attract a good crowd.

Worst customer service of any bar in London! there wasn't an option to post a minus star!!!
I was left extremely shocked and disappointed by your so called Manager, Olga and your receptionist on duty last Friday, the 31st of July.
I called on Wednesday, 29th of July to reserve a table for 4 people, 2 of which travelled from Kent for this occasion and your staff has absolutely spoiled this for us!
On Wednesday, they told me you don’t accept reservations as you are expecting to be very busy this Friday and its only on walk in basis.
As a results, my friends made sure they made their way very early to your venue and were there at 5:30pm only to be told – “Sorry, reservations only”!!!
I was still at work so I called you straight away to find out what’s going and spoke to the receptionist who told me the same thing so then I asked to speak to the Manager as they can try and resolve this situation and misinformation on your behalf.
I was put through Olga who said she is the Manager, which I don’t believe is the case as no Manager would ever speak to their customers in the extremely rude and patronising way that she did!
She basically implied that it was me that did not understand what your staff have told me on the Wednesday’s call and there is nothing she can do and we just have to go somewhere else because you are fully booked.
Didn’t make any effort to listen to me at all, kept talking over me and when I did eventually started speaking – she hanged up the phone on me!
Naturally, I called back and the receptionist just told me that Olga is busy now and refused to put me through to her and just said Goodbye and hanged up as well!
Called again to insist to speak to someone senior – nobody bothered to pick up the call after 10 consecutive rings so I guess the call got diverted to the hotel reception downstairs where I finally managed to speak to Franklin.
He was the only one that seemed to care to help and tried to assist me to best of his abilities. Thank you Franklin again!
I can not stress this more but this is the worst customers services I have ever had and your staff and particularly Olga are seriously lacking in customer service.
It seems as though you are trying to be a high class luxurious venue but seriously failing.
I have visited the highest level of service hotels across the world and the staff bend over backwards. Unfortunately your bar has got it all wrong, by speaking to your customers appallingly it doesn’t make them want to try harder to be given entrance to your bar!!!

Our 2nd visit to this small roof top bar in 2 weeks! Love the buzzy atmosphere and liked the efficiency of the reservation service, right from the security/hosts on the ground floor to the lift opening and the hosts knowing who you are and showing you to your table or area. Thursday night was just as good as a Saturday but on Saturdays they have a dj. Hosts made sure we were moved to an outside table as soon as they could. Drinks are pricey but view, music and general ambience is worth it. I noted that all the hosts and bar staff worked really hard. We were the oldest there last night but I'd go back again.

This place was such a disappointment. We went for a birthday and after ONE drink they said we were “overserved” and that we had to leave. Truly horrible service, especially from one bartender who targeted our party after my friend and boyfriend simply asked him how they could surprise me for my birthday.
An absolute horrible experience... would not recommend to anyone. Don’t waste your money there- it is overpriced for the quality of service, especially after talking to managers and trying to reason.

Hello - how easy is it to generally get in on walk-in without table reservation on a Saturday around 9pm please?

We went on a Friday early evening and it seemed quite full. I wouldn’t risk it without a reservation as you may have to wait quite some time.

Midweek it’s pretty quiet so you can easily go up there and they will give you a table but booking is fairly easy too.
