SAMA Bankside in Southwark

Recientemente organizamos nuestra presentación trimestral de negocios y un divertido concurso de pub en Sama Bankside, ¡y resultó ser uno de nuestros eventos más memorables hasta ahora! Todo el equipo se lo pasó genial, y no podíamos estar más contentos con cómo todo se unió. Muchas gracias al equipo de Sama Bankside por ser tan servicial y servicial: el profesionalismo del personal y la cálida hospitalidad realmente hicieron que la experiencia fuera excepcional. ¡Todo el mundo sigue hablando de lo bien que ha ido!

Genial para bebidas después del trabajo, ambiente relajado. Bebidas bien cuidadas, el personal es muy amable también Abdullah especialmente

Lugar de clase para estar, grandes bebidas, grandes vibraciones, grandes amigos y buena música, probablemente volverá en algún momento pronto.

Después de trabajar en ver un cartel para su francamente increíble feliz oferta con £ 5 Guinness y 2 - 4 - 1 cócteles. Estaba más que contento con la experiencia de un bar amigable con música jazz y vibraciones poco iluminadas. El personal es increíblemente atento y rápido! Hice de toda la noche un placer. ¡Nos vemos pronto!

Tuvimos la mejor noche celebrando nuestra fiesta de compromiso en este lugar! Fue la ubicación perfecta, el espacio y el ambiente para nuestra fiesta. Fue muy fácil organizar con el lugar / personal, que eran serviciales durante toda la noche. Nuestros huéspedes dijeron lo genial que era el lugar y me encantó la pizza! Nos encantó la música y la forma en que el espacio estaba decorado con luces. Recomendamos 100% este lugar para cualquier fiesta / celebración que tenga.

Held mine and my husbands joint 40th birthday party here, in the Upper Arch area. From the start of contacting them, the communication with Steve was great and he was very quick to respond with any queries I had. The venue worked perfectly for our party, and we were happy with the food offered, the quality of drinks - and how well the space worked. There were lots of bar staff so no-one was waiting for drinks very long - and the DJ (also Steve!) was great too - playing some very good music, which got all our guests dancing. A thoroughly enjoyable night. Thank you.

Great venue for our team building event. The food was really good, bar staff very friendly and everything ran smoothly. Would definitely recommend.

Had a fantastic birthday event at SAMA Bankside! The staff were incredibly friendly, the space was ideal for our event and the pricing of everything was exactly within my budget. The staff were great about organising timings for everything and so helpful.

I booked SAMA for a company event and had a fantastic evening. The staff were very attentive and the food was delicious. Steve made sure everything went smoothly. Happy to come back.

We hired out Sama Bankside for a work event and were extremely happy with it. The venue itself is spacious with a very nice look. The food and drink was of a great quality and service from all staff was impeccable. Steve took great care to liaise with us in advance and throughout the night to ensure that our needs were met. He even DJ'ed for us towards the end of the night! The space outside is gorgeous in good weather, it's a prime location for a Spring/Summer night out when you want a good mix of outdoor seating in the early evening, and then indoor partying as the night goes on.

We held or Sales Kick off for around 35 people. The venue, the set up and in particular Steve (super helpful, accommodating and flexible) were just perfect for what we needed. Super cool venue with everything you need. Thanks to Steve and team for hosting us. Really Reasonable costs as well.

We hosted our office Christmas party at SAMA and used this venue for the first time. We had the whole space for ourselves and were all greatly impressed with the venue, the quality of the food was superb and the staff excellent. Steve was always very responsive and provided good advice on the type of canapes and food to order. Shom the DJ provided entertainment and ensured everyone had a fantastic time. Will certainly be going there again.

We booked SAMA for a private work Christmas party for around 200 people. We have never had such a positive response from our guests about a venue! The venue, food, drinks, staff and atmosphere were all as good as we could have hoped. It was all super well-organised from the venue side which made our life easier - it shows the difference between dealing with the owner who cares (as in this instance) and the usual events managers that come and go that you usually deal with at other venues. An excellent night, which we intend to recreate next year! Thank you!

SAMA hosted us for our work Christmas party last week, and we can't recommend Steve and his team enough for making it the perfect venue. Steve was amazing leading up to the event, communicating with us on every detail and even let us come for a food tasing before. Nothing was too much of an ask for Steve, and he ensured we had a really smooth process on the night. All the staff were great on the night and couldn't have done more to ensure we had a great party.

This is a brilliant venue for holding workshops. There is a large central area for presenting to the larger group and plenty areas to break off for syndicate work. Steve and Florin were very supportive. Breakfast and lunch was really top quality and much loved by attendees

Fantastic for a company meeting and networking event. The staff and venue are both great and I'd thoroughly recommend.

We held a private event at SAMA Bankside and it was just brilliant. The venue is really great for a party. The staff looked after us so well - they couldn't have done more for us and all of our attendees commented on the fantastic service too.

Not busy and over 2 hours for 2 patties with excuses galore and management trying to put it the onus back on us. Not a location I will be back to and I would not recommend it to anyone. Went on the soul boat and we’re recommended this location. Lies is all I heard do not trust these lot.

Great little venue for misoul event on Sunday . Friendly staff and reasonably price drinks . Not sure on food as didn’t eat here but it looked nice

We had our Summer Party on the 18th of July. Great venue, great food, great music (DJ), and the best of all was the Team. Temi, Katie, and the Team were great hosts. Professionals and very attentive. Nothing was too much. The location is also great. We had a great time. Enjoyed ourselves. Danced the night away. It is our second time. We will definitely have next years party at the SAMA Bankside. I highly recommend it. Sergio

We had our work summer party here and it was AMAZING! The staff were so lovely and helpful. Food was great and exactly what we wanted, DJ brilliant. In planning the event the team couldn't have been more responsive. Would highly recommend the venue for any party you might have!

I'm nervous to write a rave review in case word gets out and then it won't be available for next time we want to make a booking...! However... it really is the perfect venue for hosting a corporate networking drinks get together. Steve and his team were organised, professional and beyond helpful. Everything is set up to make it easy for the host. We booked one of the upstairs arches and because the weather was so lovely we could spill out onto the street outside which was perfect for a warm summer evening. Food and drinks are reasonably priced and tallying up at the end and settling the bill was seamless. Thanks Steve - we'll definitely be back!

Absolutely amazing independent venue! Steve and his team are fantastic welcoming hosts, nothing was to much hassle. They helped us to create a great evening, best summer party we have ever had. Drink selection was perfect, food amazing. Steve was the DJ on the night and played a great selection of music for our eclectic bunch. We will be back!

What a hidden gem! Lovely bar in a great location with some outside tables as well. Manager Steve was incredibly helpful with our business event and gave us a very competitive price compared to other local venues. The staff are brilliant and couldn't do enough for us. Highly recommend. Yummy pizzas too! We had a great night and we will be back!

Great venue and location! We have hired the entire venue for 3 company events and each time it has been a great success. The layout of the bar works really well having two levels, it is great having the dance floor downstairs. The food is always a really high standard. Steve is a fantastic host, I would highly recommend this venue. we are already booked in for 2 more events this year!

We held our Christmas Party at SAMA and could not fault the entire process. Thank you to Steve and the team for hosting such a great event!

We had our company Christmas party at Sama last week and I can't recommend Steve & the team enough. We hired the entire venue, which gave the perfect balance of chatting upstairs & dancing downstairs! Everyone said it was our best venue yet! We'll be...

I would not recommend hiring Sama Bankside for your event. My cousin booked the venue for her 30th birthday party and the manager Steve was incredibly rude. They closed the bar early and tried to make us leave while our booking confirmation stated we still...

We had a great time on Thursday eve! Delicious burgers, tasty cocktails and very nice staff! Thank you SAMA!

Overall an okay experience. A few points which let the night down - • our order consisted of starters and mains , which had been preordered. Some of our party had starters as their mains - which I had described and detailed in the pre...

For me this was just one of the worst bars I’ve been to in London. We went for a party and every time we went to the bar it was a 30 minute wait, none of us could get a drink and the place wasn’t...

I made a reservation enquiry via their website and they swiftly confirmed a table was booked. When we arrived the staff were friendly and took us through some of the cocktail options. The cocktails were nice. Really pleasant place to have a drink. Cool decor...

The staff serving downstairs were quite unpleasant. Very aloof. Unable to smile or interact. Why any of them work at a bar God knows as none of them seem happy about it or have the right manner to be serving people. All seemed unable to...
