The Penthouse in City of London

Disregard the negative reviews this is purely from the riffraff.. I always have an absolutely sterling time at this place and the staff are very helpful and friendly and professional at all times. The food is absolutely marvellous.

This is a another Leicester Square money pit, three floors of varied average DJs will be combined with exceptionally un interactive and rude staff. To its credit you will find people in there and a good 'mix' if not to date purely to watch as entertainment. Your money and time is best spent elsewhere, but it's worth a visit for the view and one beer

Great night out with my friends! Totally took advantage of the Happy Hour where cocktails were 2 for 1! And then we ventured down to the club when it opened at 10pm and danced the night away. Great West End venue with a beautiful view of London. Really friendly staff and we took lots of pictures! Will definitely be returning soon!

This is somewhere I would never visit on a regular night out, but found myself there for a private event. The selling point is the wrap around balcony that offers views south over Leicester Square, and the glass lift on the side of the building that whisks you to the top floor is fun. The house wine was good and the buffet food was delicious (although I'm not sure it they serve this normally). Top tip: dress light, this place gets hot!

**Having read the other reviews on here, it seems like this bar treats its guest either good or bad depending on what RACE they belong too!**Me and two of my friends were on a day-trip to London after their honeymoon, this was my treat to them.We were first enticed and greeted (surely friendly) by the door staff who did a good job of promoting the Happy Hour - 2 for 1 cocktails.When we got to the bar in the lift (7th floor) had a nice feel and great viewsBut we placed our order of cocktails and were forgotten. When I enquired at the bar, our drinks were made in haste.When we got our drinks (even though we asked for it at the Terrace we got them on the sitting area) they tasted rank! water-downed and tasted more like flavoured and colored water.When I complained about the quality, I was spoken down to and made to feel like I am some high school fool (this was by a hostess who should have been better fitted on a catwalk with her mouth shut rather than customer service). I know my cocktails and that wasnt what we were served. Another couple got Cosmopolitans that looked like Cosmo and had the sugar lining on the glass.I was so disgusted not with the lateness of our order but by the wrong type of drink been serverd and the attitude of the hostess I complained to, that I turned all our drinks upside down so that the staff have more clean-up to do.Not even a apology or a complementry voucher we got,Note to the bar - if you hire people on the basis of their looks make sure they have the people skills to match!

Nicely done night club. Few dance floors with different styles of music. Seven flights of stairs to conquer if you want to get there though. Smokers and fresh air searchers beware - prepare for a mission to get to the outside.

To start with the positive; it has a nice view. That is, if you are looking out of the club which admittedly with the overcapacity tendency you might not even catch a glimpse as you attempt to battle your way through, passing in between the finest spray-tanned specimens and sweaty sleazy locals.At least you could buy a drink right? Well if you would like to spend half an hour getting pushed and shoved in constant fear of a fight breaking out to then purchase a £5 diluted shot, by all means, go ahead!

WASTE OF TIME!... I went without a ticket they never let me in for my birthday, I went with a ticket (2 guys) on another night and they said I need a group of girls.... seriously ? why am I going to go clubbing with a girl for 1 and for 2 if i had a girl why would i go clubbing ? STUPID ideology, go next door instead... then the bouncer says its a famous place ? Ye right what celeb have you ever heard saying, im going penthouse... ruined my day out twice, if i go Leicester square again, I wouldn't even bother going in there

Went to London for the first time was there only for 2 nights decided to check out the penthouse, worst experience of my life...the staff were extremely rude and disgusting, they literally took 60 pounds from us and then claimed we did not pay. When we asked to speak with the manager he pretended to listen for the first few seconds and then decided to kick us out in a vicious manner. Pushing 3 girls down the stairs is crazy!

I stopped there during the middle of the day. Stunning views of all of London, it's great on a sunny day out on the balcony, great service and delicious mocktails (not a drinker myself).
