Bussey Rooftop Bar in Southwark

The rooftop cinema was such a great experience and they even gave us visors because it was really sunny. Great place to go with friends

The positives: Nice views and funky decor. Wasn’t too busy which was nice. Table service. My friend liked her pizza but it came with no cutlery or napkin or offer of sauces - had to chase after this. The negatives: Really uncomfortable bar stools with no padding - in the end had to stand as my rear end was numb. A lot of cocktails were not available according to the QR ordering app but I kept seeing a frozen pink one being sent to other tables but no staff (asked several) could advise me what it was and why it wasn’t available to order. There was an ordering glitch for a while that resulted in a wrong order going through and this was never really resolved - I ended up with two drinks instead of one. Staff offered to switch one to a frozen margarita for my friend but after waiting for half an hour we gave up. Initially we were told it’d take about 5-10 minutes to prepare but it took way longer. We were moved after a few hours which wasn’t a problem but there was a smell of sewage at the second table. Overall drinks were a bit too sweet and too much ice so I’d say overpriced for the area. Had a nice time but wouldn’t plan to return (mainly because of the really uncomfortable seats).

One of the best rooftops in London - excellent service everyone is super friendly - ideal for summer

I visit regularly.. Great drinks, pizza and the atmosphere was good with amazing views from the bar.

Only went for a cocktail - not cheap, but a fun place to try. Didn't try their pizzas. Good views. Have an open air cinema up there too, so you could make an evening of it. Good service and friendy staff.

Amazing views across London! I love the whole area around this rooftop bar so go for a wonder afterwards. Bar is great for cocktails.

Was a lovely visit all round, was promised pizza, however they completely FAILED to deliver, after 2 hours still no pizza, quite lazy imho :/

Amazing place, great pizza and drinks and staff super friendly. All good. Music also was the top! First time here and eas really good. Must try!

Have heard a lot about this place, so booked a table on a Monday night for a special occasion. Honestly, you'd think we were trying to break in to Buckingham Palce! The number of people with walkie talkies repeating our names and time of booking ( 7pm) was laughable! And so unfriendly! The whole place was full of plastic- flowers, greenery, 'glasses'. The cocktail menu was full of really sweet choices. The beer menu consisted of 2- one non alcoholic and one american ale. The whole experience was a total disappointment. We had one drink and went to a pub. Dont waste your evening.

A truly miserable experience. 30 minute wait for our booked table. 60 minute drinks wait. Pizza was just 6 inches of crust with a miserable dollop of n’duja in the middle, favourably known as an intalian cream pie. What a waste of my time.

we celebrated a 30th birthday and we were very well looked after by Ace. all of our needs were met :) we felt that we were the celebs of the night which really made the birthday girl feel special

Great atmosphere and bar. But come to see Ace, he’s legend with incredible bar skills!! Good roof top hang out

Wow we loved it here. I came with my boyfriend and we came all the way from the east midlands (3 hours away from Bussey) we loved Emma Holly and Matt, who were ever so friendly and the pizza as so amazing. It was the best part of our weekend away in London EVERYONE COME OVER HERE YOU WILL NOT GET LET DOWN!!!! Thank you Matt we love you. Everyone come along.

Good contactless ordering system and great views. Had a decent few hours here on my birthday. Cocktails were decent although when one had run out (a frozen cocktail) rather than coming to tell us I had to chase up after 20 minutes or so.

Booked a table ages ago and really looking forward to it. However, despite the taxi driver and his sat nav, asking around, then wandering the streets we never managed to find it. Couldn't get through on the phone. Gave up and got the train home. Didn't feel unsafe in the area though despite extensive wandering.....

Went for my birthday. Had planned on being seated in the area with high bar table and chairs. But no. Got sat in an area that is never seen on their social media, with low beach chairs, small folded tables and the only way you could see the view was by standing. Staff claimed tables ‘can’t be booked’ yet when I asked politely if we could sit in the other area (where I could see there were free tables) I was threatened to be kicked out by security. Totally unreasonable staff with 0 manners or social skills.

Staff are super rude, place has become gentrified and up itself. Cocktails are £10 but served in plastic cups and not well made. This place used to be great years ago but has become v commercial and gentrified, no idea what the staffs problem is especially the woman who does the table seating - we were hassled to leave our table even tho there were 10 other free tables, much better bars in the area

The bar is quite far out of the way so if you're not local to Peckham I wouldn't recommend going. On top of that the area is very unsafe and is not ideal to be in alone, as a young woman I felt very unsafe...

We had a day booked for drinks, booked at the high tables (the nicer side of the rooftop) and we ended up getting sat at the other side.. which was just fake grass and beach chairs. We booked the high chairs as we knew they...

The view was amazing and atmosphere was good. However cocktails are overpriced for a medium sized plastic cup. Also, when you order Pizza you have to wait a very very long time to receive it (45min-1hr) as they only do 3 pizzas at a time....

We were having a lovely evening and enjoying each my friends’ company, that I hadn’t seen in a while especially since the pandemic has been hard on all of us. We were approached by this very aggressive waitress forcefully telling us to leave our table....

Booked here for sunset drinks on a Saturday evening! Views are great if you can actually be seated with the view, otherwise you are told to sit In your seat and not move even to take pictures! Drinks are ordered via the app, and took...

An hour wait for a vodka lemonade on a Saturday night?! We had reserved our table months in advance for a birthday. Not only were we given a table which had absolutely no rooftop views (part of the package, I presumed) but we were told...

Massive shoutout to Holly for being a babe and sorting out tables for us. All the staff were also friendly. Nice view too

The staff are so friendly. You can tell when the management are good because the staff are happy and it reflects on the customer service. Brilliant views and really welcoming staff. Drinks are at a good price too!!!

Great rooftop bar with scenic views of the city. Well run with friendly staff, good drinks menu and nice atmosphere

I recently attended the Rooftop Bar with my husband as we are newlyweds and our experience was somewhat off putting that the level of service was so poor that we were almost itching to leave. The aesthetics and presentation of the place is visually pleasant...

Been 2 Bussey bar many times pre-Covid. Went 2nit having bkd.10 mins queuing. 35 mins wait for beer. Waiters nice. Head person rude & surly. Finally got drink 1hr after res time,then told they needed table back for next bkg. Awful place.

I am here in my birthday celebration with friends, just asked to go to see the terrace of the bar with one of my friends and they didn’t let me go. They were rude and very unprofessional.

Me and my colleagues spent a lovely evening in this rooftop. Even if a bit scared due to the all covid situation, we booked a table x8 using the online website and we have been pleased to see that all the rules and precautions are...

We love this place, staff can’t do enough to help and the atmosphere is always amazing. Visit at sunset for the best view!

we booked for an anniversary drinks and turned up before our booking and were left to the end of the queue. we weren’t let in for over an hour even though we had booked! shocking service, why bother booking if you can’t get in

This place is so beautiful and has amazing views, sadly this is completely let down by the unorganised queuing/reservation system and terrible service! My friends were inside and I was stuck outside queuing, even though we had a reservation. 45 mins later and I’m still...

I went to this bar with my boyfriend but soon found they had no ladies toilets. You are forced to use cubicles next to males. I had to go to the toilet with my boyfriend since I was scared to go myself. My cubicle did...

Rooftop bar, good layout, drinks and pizza can be ordered and paid for through an app/website Negatives - overpriced drinks - £9 for a small (<200ml) daiquiri or Aperol. Live music would make a great addition

Great views over the London skyline. Otherwise generic and pricey drinks, but worth it for the view.

Nice cocktails but they’re a bit on the pricey side! £6 for some nachos is daylight robbery; and a bit stale. Should have said no thanks when told the price....

A great spot in Peckham at the top of an old warehouse building. The views from the rooftop are excellent and worth the trip....we arrived late afternoon and waited for the sunset. I did not see a lift so be prepared for climbing the stairs...

Both this place and Franks Roof top bar on the other side of the tracks have several things in common, they have great views, they charge premium prices for drinks and various fast food and the vast majority of the clientele are drawn seemingly not...

Went here to go to the rooftop cinema and I was not disappointed! We had a drink before the film started, the bar staff was polite and the cocktails were excellent but most of all the view is unreal!

Great venue, a bit hot but we watched Duttymoonshine play and they were amazing. Hidden venue at the back of a grubby high street. Some independent bars and fine eateries can be found there too. Parking available at cost or can park for free in...

Copeland park took my depost of £50 over a week ago to reserve an area on the rooftop. Sadly the rain came and they closed the bar, understandable. What I don't understand is that my friend and I that made the booking sent 3 emails...

Went here for Wingjam, a chicken wing festival, some fantastic wing vendors, the food was incredible. Drinks catered for by Monkey Shoulder, lovely! However if you wanted to sit in the roof top bar it was a hefty amount of stairs. Good atmosphere all round....

Amazing view on this rooftop. Love to be outside to have a drink, they serve food too (burgers, hotdogs and salads with a couple of vegetarian options). friendly service, I recommend it!

Great place for a nightcap after a lovely dinner at Artusi up the road. Particularly enjoyed the mint espresso martini, which I am now trying to emulate at home.

Great place to come and visit for an evening, sipping cocktails and catching up with friends. Loved the views across London and the chilled vibe. Will be returning again.

I was there last month and it was great fun. Amazing view while having lots of drinks, great altogether! Cinema also connected with them I believe, so you can get a few drinks before/after watching a movie so it's a really nice place to check...
