Aqua spirit in City of London, Westminster

We went because of the rooftop view but honestly you don't see much. Cocktails are extremely overpriced with small portions. It took 20 minutes to be noticed in an empty terrace and when we were, we were treated terribly We were even forced to pay an 8£ tip for 3 cocktails while one of the waiters was on the ground drinking straight from the bottle EMBARRASSING

Food is tasty, mocktails are great.

Great little rooftop terrace with some amazing cocktails!

I recently visited Aqua for the first time, and it is a very beautiful venue. The staff was amazing, and the manager, Sam, promptly found us a table. A big shoutout to Krishan, our server.

Excellent place for a drink but for food as well, the service is quick and drinks look beautiful Samuele has been very welcoming and krish brought our experience to another level.

I hadn't been to Aqua in a long time after my last bad experience, but I have to say, this place has changed a lot. The staff, especially Krish, was so patient and attentive with us. I'll definitely come back.

Great experience, after brunch we went to the bar, the experience was lovely, thanks to krish

The customer service was outstanding, and the cocktails was exactly what I was looking for.” “I was so pleased with the service I received from this amazing rooftop bar.

Amazing bar if you lucky to be served by Krish you will have the best time! Thank you 🤗

Where to start from the cocktails to the bar snacks, Aqua Kyoto is amazing and if your lucky enough to be served at the bar from Krish your in the best night in London. I couldn’t recommend this roof top bar enough, it’s my new to go place.

Camilo and Krish are pure stars!

Was ok. Service slow. Not a great rooftop

Thank you so much Bharath! You served us really well. Highly recommend. I’ll definitely come back!!

Wonderful place! Atmosphere is on point but it was made even better. By my server Bharat! Really professional calm and accommodating. Come for the view stay for my guy Bharatth

Camilo at Aqau is a fantastic host at this venue. He really does go the extra mile to ensure you have a top night out! Highly recommend!

Pricey but vibey rooftop bar. Japanese snacks were 10/10.

Had an amazing time celebrating on the rooftop and Camilo made us very welcome. Can’t wait to visit again!

Great place with a lovely view. Fantastic service and Camilo (manager) deserves a special mention for making the night with his warmth and attentiveness

Camilo and his team always provide a first class service. For over a year now I have been coming to Aqua rooftop with my friends and always overwhelmed with the incredible energy, atmosphere and enthusiasm Camilo and his servers bring to our evening. I would recommend Aqua if you are looking for the ultimate rooftop venue for any celebration, guaranteed to be a 5 star experience. Thank you again Camilo.

Julieta was very helpful in the entrance of the local. The drinks were quite nice and the views were great.

Camilo at Aqau is simply a breath of fresh air within the hospitality industry. His warm welcome and excellent cocktails certainly lived up to our expectations! Definitely a treat of a night out!

Francesco was absolutely awesome. He made the best spicy margs with amazing service and conversation!

Attentive staff and okay views from the roof bar. Cocktails aren’t really as good as other bars in the area. Shame considering the price and location.

The bar is extremely expensive and quality is very low. Moreover, when it is crowded they are to charge more with the excuse of bigger quantity not even mention in the menu. Last but not least, they add service charges even if you queue and take the cocktail at the bar.

A rooftop space especially good for sunny days & warmer evenings. When the evening or clouds draw-in, the bar & restaurant inside are perfectly agreeable places to munch & swill to your heart's fill. #Visit 3: late afternoon this time, a totally empty deck and so, for a while, the whole rooftop to myself: nice. The crowds began to grow after 5pm. Note to owners: the auto-service charge at the bar - thanks; but no thanks. Merely pouring a drink does not constitute 'service'.

Absolutely love this rooftop, beautiful decor, amazing service, great choice of wine, always good crowd

Amazing vibes, the price was really higher than before

Lovely place for cocktails in central london. Would definitely recommend

Amazing terrace, quiet on Sunday night.

This place relies on the fact it has a roof terrace, very central in the heart of London, just around the corner from Bond St Station. The drinks were expensive. But expected for the location with a terrace. Whilst the staff were friendly enough, some were scruffily dressed- not a great impression that matched the prices. Just under £100 for 4 drinks. Steep. The furniture on the terrace was really poor quality and uncomfortable.

DJ performing and the cocktail options were very good. A busy Wednesday night so a bit difficult to get a table outdoors.

Wonderful service and if you're a photographer, it's certainly a great place to go to. Have a look at some of the images that I captured when up there.

Great rooftop for drinks with a view and some good weather

Nice rooftop with the worst service. Rude and unpolite staff.

Great atmosphere, buzzing on a Tuesday night, nice rooftop bar. Food good - maki sushi rolls & tempura really good, croquettas less so. Totally let down by hopeless service. Inattentive barmen, one who took orders by memory but then forgot half the order and the other who wrote things down but still got it wrong. We wanted another round of drinks (and the bill) half an hour before we had to leave, but couldn’t get their attention. In the end we resorted to going up to the bar to request the bill (too late for drinks) and even that took so long that we ended up leaving one friend to pay while the rest of us ran for our trains! If not for the dozy service I’d be rating highly.

This place has my heart ❤️ it’s one place I keep getting all my friends too , the vibe the service , the drinks are perfect. See you sooon again x

Nice weather and lovely staff, and an excellent view!

Popped in with a friend during a day out in London. Nice outside roof top bar with good friendly service. Restaurant looks nice but we didn’t eat there.

Great place for a drink and dine. Lovely atmosphere and decor

I recently attempted to visit Aqua Spirit in London with some friends. We arrived at the bar a few minutes after 10:30 PM, only to be turned away at the door by the bouncer. Despite explaining that we had been held up at another venue, he was unwilling to let us in and instead directed us to find another venue. I was disappointed by the bouncer's inflexibility and lack of understanding, particularly given that we had made an effort to visit the bar and were only a few minutes late. It's understandable that bars have to enforce their closing times, but the way in which we were turned away was unfriendly and unprofessional. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the quality of the bar itself, as we were not allowed inside. However, based on my experience with the bouncer, I would not recommend Aqua Spirit to anyone looking for a welcoming and accommodating atmosphere.

Un bel posto dove prendersi un buon cocktail a un prezzo ragionevole. Musica un po’ troppo alta.

Went for drinks on the terrace. Impressive at night time. Excelent coctails. Should be good during summer nights. Good covered space outside. Excelent service by staff. Partial view of regent street. Very impresive restaurant inside.

2 different restaurants, Aqua Nueva and Aqua Kyoto . Both very stylish. Great views of London and you can even see the London eye from one of their rooftops. Great place to go for drink or dinner.

If I could leave 0 I would. We were greeted at the door by 2 doormen who turned us away due to us wearing open toe heels, claiming that we were wearing 'flip flops' which was very confusing and absolutely ridiculous. We've been to this bar before and saw people wearing converses, considering we were extremely dressed up we had no clue where this had come from since we have been here mutilple times before and we were always walmly welcomed. Would not recommend at all.

Avoid at all costs!! There’s plenty of fantastic bars in Soho and this isn’t one of them. Pretentious staff looking down on you and average premixed cocktails. Had to wait over ten minutes at the bar to get served. Only 2 people working the bar but 10+ people on the door but told ‘bar service’ only. Overcharged for drinks for a long wait, poor service and poor drinks. Will not be back…

What an awful experience at this place. Not vetting who they are letting in zero class!!!!!!! Extremely poor service and the so called general manger with curly hair is not helpful and frankly useless. At the prices being charged expect a far better service!!!!

I used to love coming to aqua, I returned after some years last night and my goodness am I shocked by the service at the terrace. My husband simply asked if there’s table service and the manager with the curly bushy style hair laughed in his face and said it’s bar service. He was not acknowledged at the bar either, waited 20 odd mins in total for them to finish up with the person ahead of him and for what seems like a wait on the bartender to decide whether he wants to serve my husband who has seen him waiting but a pretty girl comes over and was immediately served. At that point I got up from the table and pulled my husband to leave.

Waited over an hour for 3 drinks and the terrace was completely full so we had to sit inside

This place is a good one! Love the Rum drink…people and it’s a vibe. 5 stars at sunset for sure.

Did not enjoy my experience on the terrace..... Too many smokers

The venue is amazing! Nothing to complaint about it. But the bar experience is quite bad. It’s the classic rooftop where they try to trick you serving cocktails with little to no alcohol.. and if you point that out to the barman, they just lie in your face making you feel bad. Also, pay attention when you pay.. I took two cocktails and they tried to charge me way more than the price stated in the menu. Considering the amount of people at the bar, is very easy not to pay attention to how much they put in the pos. For these reasons, I feel anyone should avoid this place! No one likes to be treated like that!

Great location over looking the city. 34 floors high. Rooftop seating and a stylish restaurant. The redefined beef Empanadas are mouth watering. Quality cocktails. I have visited a few times. I recommend timing your visit to capture the sunset.

In the first 5 minutes of arrival one member - a manager pushed me out of the way to speak to his staff and then I was later pushed aside whilst being served so they could block out an area after already moving twice. They were rude they spoke very unprofessionally. After this whilst I was trying to reach my drinks I was then moved back to the original spot and they actually moved the rope so aggressive they lifted my skirt. I come here weekly in the summer and this whole evening has really ruined my local sun spot!

The rooftop is tiny, the inside is enormous. After queuing for ages at the bar (because there was no service to the table), I ask a waitress if she could bring two glasses of wine (£30 no less) to the table. She did, and I was charged £45! When I asked why they said it was "table charge"??? But I went to the bar to order and got fed up waiting. I have to say I didn't even argue the point as there is zero management and just kids serving you. Shame, the place has potential but they are just cashing in on tourists who won't go back I guess.

Appreciated the rooftop on a nice day in a prime central London location but very disappointed by the quality and choice of drinks at a place as expensive as this (£15 a cocktail). Negroni and Aperol spritz totally mediocre; the old fashioned very poor. A decent cocktail bar should serve quality versions of these simple classics.

Great place as a treat. Drinks slightly over priced and service charge was added just for making our drinks.... even though that's there job !!

Worst service ever. Waited for 20 minutes with no drink and no service. Would not recommend

If I could I would give 0 stars. I was served unfortunately the waiter could not do anything (his first day) very bad for such a place. Prices are very high which is not a problem but we got at 30min wait nothing. Never again

Amazing spot in the sun, cannot speak highly enough of waiter Andrew. Welcomed from the minute we walked in the front door, great spot in central London!

We were trying to split the bill and two of the staff members were rude and basically kicked us out as if we were trying not to pay, bad experience i wouldn’t go back

Nice rooftop for sunny days, good cocktails and selection of drinks, but I was expecting a better view.

Beautiful decor, great ambiance. Delicious cocktails, bit pricey but worth it

The security guy (R*****) was very rude and tried to send us away, though we had a phone reservation. His attitude seemed racist and different than the way he dealt with other people.

Great bar and great service. Shout out to Raff, he always looks after us and is the best.

The organisation was chaotic, booked the bar. Moved to an empty area with no one else and no atmosphere. Cocktails weren’t great. We also ate at the Japanese, really cold with outside doors open. Food was very good, small portions but perfectly put together. Service was polite but you had to ask for it.

The bar at Aqua Spirit was fantastic. Excellent atmosphere and swift service. They catered for myself and a large group of friends for a 21st birthday with ease, and a special mention to Raf, who was constantly on hand to serve us and help make our experience a smooth as possible. Without doubt I’d return.

Fantastic service, great place for drinks. Service by Rafa is brilliant! New favourite spot! Have recommended to a lot of friends already.

Unfortunately the service was poor. Seated for drinks but nobody took our order in over 15 mins so we left.

The service to begin with was slow and inattentive then I realised I was double charged after being promised by the manager roberto that the money would be back in the account within hours this was just a lie and I still have not been refunded. Do beware I’m not sure if this is common practice to steal from there customers.

£100 for 4 drinks and they didn’t even bring tap water!

17 quid for a cocktail!! Lol. Mind you lovely views of lots of cranes and building work. Great for toddlers I should imagine.

One of my favourite central London hideaways, with chirpy upbeat staff.

Amazing food and it has a roof terrace!
