SAMA Bankside is a unique bar, restaurant, events space and late night venue in the heart of London's Bankside on the Southbank between the Tate Modern and Oxo Tower.

SAMA Bankside would not be out of place in Brooklyn or Berlin and is located within Victorian railway arches over 2 floors besides Blackfriars Bridge and was voted "Best All In One Venue" in the Design My Night 2017/18 Awards within 6 months of opening.

The venue specialises in private hire for corporate events, away days, summer and Christmas parties, product launches, wrap parties, weddings and networking events. The space is very flexible and the friendly team is always happy to accommodate your needs and ideas. Send an enquiry to see how they can help you make your event extra special.

There are also private spaces here ideal for meetings and other events where you're looking to be slightly more secluded.

This is an independent company and not part of a chain, offering an individual experience in a friendly space where you can escape from the stresses of city life. A simple stroll up the cobbled slope and you'll feel like you're miles away from the city. Welcome to a completely unique venue experience!

Our Lower Floor is ideal for Company Away Days, Presentations, Workshops, Corporate Events, Meetings, Product Launches, Networking Events, Large Dinners, Birthday Parties and Engagement Parties.

With our signature artwork to get your guests talking and exposed brickwork throughout, the Lower Floor is sure to wow your guests and after dark, it becomes a great area for a private party.

    For 5 years I have worked very close by and did know of this venue. We had a small function for a retirement and I found it to be excellent The food and drinks were great and the service good and friendly It's quite a large venue across 2 floors under the rail track at Blackfriars, not that you would know that once inside It was a great evening and I we shall be back there

    One word: Wow. The venue is beautiful, the service from my server Evan was so pleasant. He maintained a smile on his face throughout my experience at Sama Bankside. I stumbled upon Sama on a bike ride and decided to have lunch around 2pm, I saw fish and chips advertised for £8.95 and could I say no? No 😂. Wow! Compliments to the amazing chef for his awesome food. The cod batter was light and fresh, fish was as precisely cooked as youd like. The double cooked chips were beautiful, hot and fasty! I noticed the mushy peas were cooked fresh onsite unlike some restaurants who use prepacked! Peas had a slight hint of mint 😍, for £8.95, I got more for my money than I expected! The atmosphere is AMAZING . Sama play current music on Bose speakers and this matches the beautiful urban design. Generally, this place is awesome for lunch or parties! Next time I'll try their HAPPY HOUR cocktails. Thank you EVAN!
