The Sterling takes centre stage in the iconic Gherkin, spilling outside for al fresco dining during the summer months. Take a step out of the busy streets into our restaurant that blends class with contemporary charm. Fabulous food served from a bustling open kitchen offering daily specials and topped off with an extensive wine selection. We heartily recommend you give it a whirl after-work.

Perched at the base of London’s most iconic structure, The Gherkin, The Sterling Bar offers an exclusive space for your summer parties, weddings, networking events, Christmas parties & so much more! With a large wrap-around Terrace, Mezzanine, and ample room for break-out space, we can cater to your every need for your next event.

Conveniently situated in the heart of The City of London, The Sterling Bar is easily accessible via Liverpool Street, Bank, Aldgate, and Tower Hill stations, ensuring a stress-free journey for your guests.

The jewel in our crown is the fabulous Terrace, which wraps around the entire venue. Start your party with bubbles, cocktails and canapés in the sun, then head inside for a delightful spread from any of our wonderful menus. However, it doesn’t stop there! With plenty of room for your own entertainment and space for a DJ and dance floor, you can be sure your party won’t stop.

We’ve got a range of event menus, from canapés to platters, buffets to three-course meals (and even our new fruits de mer option). We really can cater for it all, and my oh my, we just love private hires.

There’s a fantastic selection of drinks on offer, including some delicious cocktails for your drinks reception, a magnificent selection of spirits served by our experienced bar team, and finally, our famous ‘barrows’, wheeled out onto our Terrace filled with your chosen beverages on ice to cool you down on an early summer’s evening.

Our spacious bar and terrace, prime location, and exquisite food and drink options make The Sterling the ideal place to entertain and impress.
