Best Rooftop Bars In Shoreditch

Ask anyone which rooftop in Shoreditch is the most unique of them all and they'll likely answer Queen of Hoxton. Notorious for their quirky themes, the party venue transforms every summer and winter with a different collection of wacky events, props and libations taking to the skies.

Situated on top of the Montcalm Hotel, Aviary has got all your drinking and dining needs sorted. Take in the jaw-dropping London skyline at sunset whilst enjoying stylish sips and excellent wines during the summer months, or get cosy come the winter in one of their gorgeous igloos.

Sitting pretty above the Courthouse Hotel, Upper 5th is bringing you some of the finest views across Shoreditch and the City. Head up for some stunning vistas, but stick around for their refreshing cocktails and delicious dishes fresh off the grill.

Not a lot of people know about this unassuming rooftop, but we're happy to share. Tucked away above a pub just shy of Hoxton Square, The Red Lion are keeping visitors sweet with faux grass, wooden benches and a very affordable selection of pizzas, burgers and booze.

Searching for the best rooftop bars in Shoreditch? The Gate should be firmly on your radar. Outside, the venue features a pretty terrace space with amazing views of the city, while the inside is a haven for after-work hangouts with its live music, top-quality eats and delicious drinks.

A pub for all the people, The Culpeper offers a truly original rooftop space. Venture up to the top of the Spitalfields watering hole and you'll find a lush garden full of herbs and veg, alongside canopy cover and fire pits to curl up next to when the temperature drops.

An exclusive East London club, this swish multi-floor gem is solely available to members of the Soho House group. However, considering Shoreditch House touts a gym, spa, lounging area, rooftop restaurant and exquisite pool, the thought of applying for membership becomes more and more appealing...
