The Sterling in City of London, Westminster

Staff Christmas lunch. A lovely venue, everyone really enjoyed it - some said the best Christmas party yet! We were especially impressed by the food - and the service was excellent

Went here for a works do and it was excellent. Lovely looking place, very friendly staff but the food was exceptional. We were served lots of hors d'oeuvres which were hot and very tasty. Also very well organised

Very good food (I recommend the steak!) but the atmosphere is often very busy with people drinking at the bar and service is slow. Not the best place for a business meeting, but fine for a long drinking lunch

I’ve been coming here for years. Finally leaving a review. I work in the building and I only come because of the service. Lorene who runs the bar is superb. Ask for her and trust me! Superb!

Came here for lunch and the place was so busy! Decent variety of food and is quite a decent place for both formal / informal work lunches.

It was fine. Though didn’t find it great. Hence 3 stars.

Amazing service and quality of Guinness . I especially recommend Lorene, she’s a deserve a pay rise!!

The Sterling, located at the base of the iconic Gherkin, offers an amazing ambiance with stunning views and a vibrant atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to enjoy delicious food and a wide selection of drinks with friends. The music adds to the lively vibe, making it an excellent choice for a fun night out. Whether you're after a quick drink or a full meal, The Sterling is definitely worth a visit!

Amazing service by Lorene, great drinks and food. Love coming here! Definitely the best place in london

Good service, the waitress lady was very attentive to our table and the food was great, I would definitely repeat. The desserts were very good and the main dishes and starters too.

I saw this restaurant by coincidence and I wanted to try it since it had high reviews. I have to say I was impressed by the concept and how they made a theme for each place and for the overall decoration. The food is super delicious, service was amazing. Staff are super friendly and nice especially Lady. Tanks lady for your help

Good service and great food, I would definitely go back. The desserts were very good and the main dishes and starters too.lady was very helpful thank you lady for your help.

The food was delicious and of good quality. A very nice atmosphere. The price was appropriate. The service was very friendly and helpful. I would especially like to mention the kindness of Lady

Always fantastic, unique, with authentic and succulent cuisine. We love to come back and we like to come back to a place where we feel very good, trying flavours that awaken our senses, very welcomed. It is a success. An enviable work team, we thank their kitchen and their attention... Thank you Lady, again. And to whoever is behind it that we do not see and who makes this place wonderful.

We had an amazing experience at this bar! The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a night out. Our waitress, Lady, was fantastic, super friendly and attentive. She recommended a delicious cut of meat that turned out to be one of the best I’ve ever had. The flavor was incredible, and it was cooked to perfection. Thanks to Lady, our evening was even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service!

I went there for lunch with my family, and I must say the food was superb. The service was excellent and i must name the young ladie named Liberty who served as. She was a delight and very helpful. Thank you

Great location, drinks and service. Big shoutout to tayla and Sabrina for making the night special!

Great experience and the food was top tier. The costumer services is one of the main reason why I’d love to go back, Lady was so professional

Good food, drinks and even better service from Liberty

Liberty was so accommodating and lovely. Service was top tier didn’t have to wait for a drink and the overall atmosphere was so chilled but buzzy! Highly recommend!

Great bar, service was really good. Thank you to Lady, Sabrina and Liberty for taking care of me and my colleagues

Great pub, thanks to Lady the bartender

The best bar in London! In the heart of the city with an excellent vibe. The staff are attentive and really know their stuff with an excellent selection of drinks and food. I would definitely recommend

we had family dinner at restourant everything was good food drinks and we had an excellent servise from waiteress Liberty and meet all of our needs

Sabrina was a great bar host, remembered all my orders even though it was very long. Also she was very friendly. The bar has a food atmosphere and has tables outside

Sabrina was fantastic, thank you

We recently visited Sterling for a business lunch. The food was delicious (particularly the Ribeye Steak), and was served really quick. Lady gave us a great service, she understood that we wanted to take our time to select our meals and explained all of them in great detail. She even helped us choosing a red wine that ended up being one of the best we had tried. Looking forward to visiting again!

Sabrina was a great server and really lovely! Had a great time

Lovely staff especially Lauren. Great beer on tap aswell!

Our local drink after work, always good service for how busy it gets. Lauren always sorts us out and always serves us with a smile.

This is our works regular spot and the service is already good. Lauren especially makes us feel very welcome and is always very accommodating.

I've been to Sterling several times and always received great service. The atmosphere and attention received are just awesome. I want to mention special great treatment from Lady, Spanish young who was very careful with our table. We will be back 100%

Great place for an after work drink and food, team is awesome and Sandros dad jokes are top tier 😁

A great bar with good food and staff, Lorene is super helpful and really attentive!

Terrific place with great food and a good selection of beers. Staff are the best asset, specific shout out to Lorene who is always present and helpful. Highly recommend.

Beautiful city bar in the Gherkin, serving a good choice of drinks and tasty food. Service is always excellent with a notable mention to the lovely Lorene! Always friendly and served with a smile. Excellent outdoor space too for those sunny days.

I recently went to the Sterling for some after work drinks and a bite to eat. The atmosphere was lively but the bar service was still quick and easy. Was served by Selina, she was both personable and gave me a great recommendation on a new beer. We then sat down for food and I must say it was up there for the best food I’ve had in London. we were served by Lauren who took her time to explain what was on the menu and recommended me the fisherman’s basket. The fish was cooked perfectly and you could tell it was fresh. Over all a great experience and you can expect me back very soon!

I love coming to the Sterling. The atmosphere and the drinks are so fun. Selina always provides the best drinks and Justina and Sabrina made sure our group had everything we needed. I’ll always come back!

Excellent place for pints, service is top notch, right in the heart of the city. A stones throw away from The Nags Head

Local pub outside of work. Brilliant service and decent pints! Go to stop for a few after work.

Unreal venue favourite place to have an after work drink!!

Excellent service & very friendly staff! Loved the drinks & atmosphere! Everyone was very friendly & polite! Lorene was so Amy making sure our group was happy and content

Selina was very extra helpful and lovely whilst serving us, would definitely come back!

Great bar. Good vibe. People in the bar are super nice. Loren, Selina, tamam and Jen were great with our booking. Highly recommend

Lovely city bar, the staff here are extremely friendly. Lauren, Selina and Sabrina are always wonderful! Highly recommend anyone visiting the City to drop by!

Amazing atmosphere and service!

Good spot under the Gherkin. Good beer selections. Good food.

Great pub for post work drinks - massive outdoor space for the sun. Lorene is class

Excellent location food and service. Would be even better in summer! Well worth a visit if in the area and this part of City.

Visited Sterling this evening and asked for a table in the (almost empty) dining area to have meals from the “all day” menu and was told they cannot serve from the all day menu and only the bar tapas unless you pre-book from the day before. It’s frustrating as this guidance nowhere to be found on the website. Disappointing, save yourself the wasted journey.

Nice drinks only thing is they cheekily charge you service even though your buying the drinks at the bar

Expensive drinks, friendly bar staff. Good service. Food is very average for the price.

Nothing special, quite small place and that is on the ground floor, which is very disappointing considering the location. Service slow.

Great food.spectacular building

We went there for Christmas lunch.The place was nice, and the service was good enough, but food was quite average: small portions, plates - barely warm and average presentation. Not a bad place, but nothing special.

Just wanted to say your barman, Adam can be taught a lesson in politeness. We visited the bar after work, it wasn’t even that busy on a Tuesday, probably about 5 people at the bar. My colleague asked if you had a certain Gin, Adam says no, so she looks over the bar to see what Gin’s you have. Adam goes: well hurry up because you should know what you want before coming to the bar and I have other people to help. Excuse you?!

Just went their for a biz event. It's OK. Nothing to rant nor rave about

Visited without pre-booking and they accommodated us. Excellent service and excellent quality. Good for a business meeting or a casual catch up with friends or family. £20-25 per person budget including a drink is possible. Options for vegetarians available here!

Beers was fine, aperol spritz was awful, pre made rubbish

Wonderful bar, friendly and polite staff! Really good interior design and a place to have a nice drink

Great food nice wine selection and great value wine list

Nice ambiance and outdoor seating as well, great for once the weather decides what it would like to do haha.

Here for a corporate event on the ground floor in that raised area, it wasn't quite big enough, but that's not the bars fault... the bar staff we brilliant bringing buckets of beer and loads of food...lots of food...too much food lol and chips in tiny little buckets

I love this pub good food, amazing staff and has a good vibe especially on a Thursday. I think if you are a central london come here it is a good vibes

I went with my colleagues for a quick lunch, and ordered a pasta plate in the first place but this was not available anymore so I ordered a barbacue chicken sandwich (also another of my colleagues ordered the same). In reality it was no a sandwich, it was a piece of hard bread with cold chicken on top and I didnt find the barbacue, anyway, the funny thing is when we tried to cut the bread was not posible! So we had to order 2 steaks knifes, even with those it took us 2 or 3min but we managed to eat something at the end also very small portion you can imagine. Definitely I am not going back and dont recomend for food.

Great city restaurant and bar. Summer outside seating is a delight.

Strange to order a steak, to then be told there’s no more steak, but then to be able to order a steak sandwich. Strange. Also came without a Gherkin, not so Sterling eh?

A hip place at the base of the Gherkin. Had a good time with friends.

Paid just over £13 for a large g&t. Fairly sure it wasn't a large.

Good ambience. However, my main course was served cold.

Went there for Christmas party,food was a bit standard,nothing amazing, staff were a bit off at first but relaxed and were more friendly and accommodating later but first impressions count,and lastly the dj,started off very well but decided to switch to grandad music,almost every chart topping song we requested after 90's he said he didn't have even though he was on Spotify,an overall mixed reactions to evening hence the 2 stars

Great cocktails!! Fantastic location - I had a tasty gin and tonic and fish and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce. Very tasty, friendly staff, just a bit pricey...but I guess what do you expect with the location.

Unique shape, beautiful building
