Place for a couple of drinks tonight

Recommended Posts

Later tonight I am meeting a friend I have not seen for a long time as she lives abroad. Any recommendation for a nice bar around the South Bank / Waterloo / London Bridge where we can sit for a few hours chatting away with a nice glass of wine? Doesn't have to be too fancy or anything like that. Just looking for a nice friendly atmosphere, not too noisy and maybe something a bit special about it (eg views over London...I suppose the shard is the only option for that??).


Thanks in advance for any recommendation!

I always meet a similar friend at a bar under the Southwark Bridge. Called the Mug House. I think its a Davies Wine Bar. Nothing special but it is normally half empty, they do 'bar food' and its quiet so catching up doesn't mean shouting. Its also easy to get to and home being at London Bridge.

Why not give Scooter Bar/Caffe a go. It's on Lower Marsh, at the Westminster Bridge end. It can get busy but it's very eclectic and fun, with soft drinks, tea, alcohol etc. You can also take your own food in if you want. There's a small patch of outside space at the back, looking out onto the railway bridges and back alleys of SE1.

Depending on what you're after... would recommend the below


Skylon - posh, relatively pricey but delicious cocktails and amazing views over the river

Las Iguanas - fun, Mexican themed (slightly tacky in a good way) cocktails behind Waterloo station

Gordon's Wine Bar - Embankment, just over Waterloo Bridge - atmospheric wine bar in cellar, good selection of wine (and cheese) without outside tables (can get busy)

    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
