On the hunt for a rooftop bar in London? There’s a clue in the name at Eighteen Sky Bar, an elegant and enigmatic cocktail lounge perched on the eighteenth floor of the prestigious InterContinental London - The O2. If you’re after a venue with impact, this is your ticket. The luxe bar boasts unrivalled views of London’s dramatic skyline, including breathtaking vistas of the River Thames, Canary Wharf and the O2. With unrivalled floor-to-ceiling windows, a seductive ambience thanks to smoky mood lighting, and a curated playlist to set the tone, Eighteen Sky Bar is a location like no other for an elegant cocktail with friends or colleagues.
For dining and drinking in the summer months, there is also an east-facing outdoor terrace which offers 360-degree views of East London’s landmarks, from the IFS Cloud Cable Car to London's Dockland’s. We'd argue there are few more impressive backdrops in London for an alfresco drink in warmer weather. Inside, the interiors are designed to evoke unparalleled luxury, from suave charcoal grey armchair seating to grand metallic columns.
Alongside an extensive range of Champagnes, wines and spirits, Eighteen Sky Bar offers a distinctive cocktail list of exciting and contemporary creations. Examples include the Sky Breeze, a heady mix of rum, pineapple and almond liqueur, and the Goji Fizz, which combines goji liqueur, gin, double cream, egg white, fresh raspberry and soda water. You’re guaranteed to find something new and intriguing.
While Eighteen Sky Bar does not serve food, there are multiple restaurants within the hotel that offer a sumptuous dining experience, from its contemporary Indian fine-dining restaurant Kinaara to the more relaxed Market Brasserie.
Do note that the bar is open from Tuesday to Saturday in the evenings only.
