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 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.

    The Gerkhin is one of the most well-known building but it's also surrounded by mamy others. Impressive!

    What a beautiful building. You get to see old and modern architecture next to each other, just amazing!🤩

    Beautiful work of architecture ...however, check-in person at the entrance was offhand and unhelpful, couldn't get into restaurant and she didn't offer any other way of entering the building. So went to Walkie Talkie instead and had a great experience at their restaurant - and it felt higher than the Gherkin ! Good to have options.
