Queen Of Hoxton - Hackney

Great place to be, but ... The rooftop closes at 10pm, i tried to get in at 9:40 and got told i couldn't and that my friends had to come down to meet me, as they were all upstairs. You can't take your drinks with you on the rooftop for a smoke... Why? You can't take your drink with you outside either if you are going for a smoke, and also you can't re-enter once you're out, but some people are the exception to the rule from what i saw.

Really slow bae service for cocktails, we ordered beer after the first round because it took so long, very under trained staff. Ordered food with the bar and paid but the order never made it to the kitchen. Chased it after 30 mins and the kitchen was like we didn't get the order but once the food came it was really good, had the burger and the chicken burger with fries they were nice. Loved the rooftop vibes get there early or book ahead for somewhere to sit or leave your stuff. Would be back from happy hour but gets crowded as the night goes on.

I went to the rooftop bar area with some friends (Saturday night). They charged £8 for the entry to the bar area, which makes sense if you are staying for the nightclub, but not if you are just drinking something. The queue for the bar was extremely slow and big. The kitchen area closed super early and the queue was so slow I couldn’t get food. It was very crowded. The rooftop area closes at 10pm and then the nightclub part opens. Music was terrible and super loud. I wouldn’t recommend going to the nightclub, the bar area was nice but the queue, slowness, and how crowded it was make me not want to go back to it.

It's worth the effort of climbing the stairs to reach the rooftop. The atmosphere was amazing and great decor. May of just been unlucky but took over half an hour to be served no queue system.

Excellent venue which we have hired for a large party. the layout is interesting with lots of great room, fantastic sound system, good professional kitchen and a roof terrasse. I strongly recommend.
