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’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
