I came here on my first day in London, and stayed across the street in a hotel from this interesting restaurant, and was determined to be the typical tourist and do the whole fish n chips experience. The weather was not on my side, although it was sunny it was very chilly and windy, but I 'boarded' this floating restaurant/ship eager to try their menu and knew immediately I was not going to be brave and sit outside like others, so inside I went. It's a bit of maze or steps and turns to get in, but I sat down and then realized 'ohhh nobody waits on you here..got it' so I lost my table because I went to the counter, and didn't want to leave my items/purse, coat etc. unattended, so be aware you need to order before sitting. As far as food quality it was okay, I've had better fish and chips in the US/Canada then here, I know gasp, the irony, it was just okay. Nobody was overly friendly but absolutely not rude at all, just nothing that gave me the feeling they wanted or needed my business, perhaps the regulars and locals feel differently. I don't know 'pounds' and it was my first day in London so I wasn't sure if this place was pricey or not. Also, when I wanted another beer while eating my meal, I didn't know if I had to bring my plate and my stuff to get back up to order a beer because nobody was around asking if anything was needed, how weird would that look carrying my table back to the counter to get a beer? I stayed for a week in London and even tho this place was convenient to go back to, I didn't return., nothing impressive.

Went for a drink with colleagues after work. It has a really nice atmosphere and is a great place to hang out on a nice day. It was crowded even on a Monday, but people were lovely. Our group of 4 shared a table with a nice couple from Texas, then after they and I left, my group shared the table with a group of 4. You can reserve tables in advance and a lot of people were ordering food. Can't comment on the food myself as we didn't order any. The prices are the usual for central London. There's quite a lot of room inside too. Dogs are welcome but I'd say it's not very kid friendly as a) it's very much a pub and b) lots of aspects are unsafe for kids e.g. the stairs inside to the toilets are very steep, they could climb/fall through the railings.

We went there late in afternoon to have a couple of drinks, place was fully packed at least the upper deck, the lower deck was empty, I believe many people moved up because of extremely loud music on lower deck, the other issue on upper deck, yes it might have a beautiful view and relaxing atmosphere but it’s smoking area everywhere and if you are not smoker, to have a person sitting next to you having cigarette after cigarette 🚬 well is not worthy, there are not that many choices in drinks as well, beer doesn’t taste good there, apart loud music, bad beer and smokers everywhere at least we could enjoy nice view, but would I recommend this place or consider coming back - NO ways!

An old barge boat moared up on the Embankment between Lambert and Vauxhall bridge. It has a great atmosphere day or night especially now with the summer days and the warm summer nights setting in. Great views of London. They sell a range of drinks at reasonable London prices. They do a small menu of snacks and pizzas. I didn't eat but the smell from the kitchen was good. Staff were friendly and worked hard to serve people quickly. Toilets were a clean. The music played either by PA or DJ is always good enough to get people up dancing. A must visit for any local or tourist.

We Hired the Lower Deck for a 21st Birthday Party. I had communication with just one person throughout the entire organising process who helped qickly and without fuss every step of the way. We had an Amzing night. Great Atmosphere, Great music and no hint of any trouble. My one and only gripe was that after we set a password for the bar tab, the bar staff were asking regular customers if they were with our group giving them the opportunity to put drinks on our tab. Apart from that it was smooth sailing.

This is really unique bar and a great place to grab a drink. The views from the boat are awesome looking both ways on the river. Staff were all cool, and the seating area throughout the entire boat is awesome. If you’re lookin to grab some drinks with some great views I would recommend this spot for sure. It was open pretty late as well which was a perk.
