Cocktails at this iconic bar is definitely worth it in the Summer. Even if you dont get to sit outside on the terrace getting these top floor views across the river, the space is mostly glass covered so you get the views too. We had a French 75 and another classic gin based cocktail from the list which I cant recall. This is a cool spot. Great for friends or a date. Service is quick and professional. Prices reflect the plush rooftop location. I would definitely go there again and I must try the restaurant too.

I wanted to go to the OXO Tower for so long, since we have been working next to it for almost a year now. So we decided to go for a lunchtime cocktail on my birthday. It's really surprising that the bar is on the 8th floor as that is not as high as you'd expect, so you can have a great view but also be close enough to the river, which is exactly what I wanted.
The cocktails are all very nice, there's a great selection and an icon of the glass they are served in next to each one. My friends used that to narrow down their search as they said some glasses look too girly or like they contain less drink in them. Personally I choose by the ingredients so rum, tequila and blue curaçao are always favourites. If they also happen to have a funny name then that's a bonus.
I tried the corpse reviver (the blue one in the photos) and it was quite strong but very nice. Despite it fun bright colour it's not one of those you drink really fast; you definitely need to take your time.
I don't see me making the OXO tower a regular haunt but I would go back for another special occasion for sure like another birthday or something.
Great view (especially in the evening), easy access, friendly staff and delicious cocktails make oxo bar a nice place to socialize. I haven't tried the food, so no comments on that.
