Whether you’re hosting a private hire gathering or unwinding with friends after a long day, The Sterling Bar is the ideal spot to experience the essence of an iconic London landmark.
Perched at the base of London’s most iconic structure, The Gherkin, The Sterling Bar offers an exclusive space for your wedding party. With a large wrap-around Terrace, Mezzanine, and ample room for break-out space, we can cater to your every need for your special day.
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 their crown our 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 ample 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 ‘barrels’, 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 prime place to entertain and impress.

- Ian BeeAugust 2025
It is a stunning building with a restaurant on top as the effective means for getting in. It does not have a public deck (free or paid) in the truest sense. You can walk around the entire building and it feels very externally accessible and grounded in the areas. 5 stars for architecture and the feeling, 4 stars for overall experience.
