Queen of Hoxton Reviews Summary

Rooftop & Atmosphere

Pros:

• "This place is really lovely in the summer up on the roof terrace."
• "The rooftop is lovely."
• "Really beautiful rooftop and great atmosphere, I think this is a great place for drinks."
• "The roof terrace constantly changes image and is extremely quirky, they always have a bar, music, toilets and seating up there."
• "In the summer you'll find rooftop cinema, games, art viewings, and every year has different theme of craziness."
• "The main draw is the roof. Great views, nice vibe, and much better than downstairs."
• "Absolutely love it here - especially the rooftop space for drinks and BBQ in the summer."

Cons:

• "No lift to go to the rooftop though however once we do the trek it was worth it."
• "It's up four flights of stairs tho, so you might want to leave the super-high-heels at home."
• "The toilets in the roof are unisex and just 4, so expect a long wait."
• "It was too crowded and filled with young rude guys."
• "The roof top toilets were absolute vile, stunk of pi** and I was scared to touch anything, the smell was over powering."
• "It's frustrating to find a fun place to go out in the summer which was just so crammed - felt like they should limit the amount of people allowed up onto the roof."
• "Nice roof garden, but even on a busy hot day there aren't enough staff resulting in huge queues, the staff who are there are moody, and the beer is awful!"

Service & Staff

• "The bar staff were so friendly and are good with the recommendations of drinks."
• "Staff are friendly and drinks prices are not too bad considered its Shoreditch."

Cons:

• "Came on a quiet Tuesday night to celebrate a birthday... Rude and came across as hating life, as though making a drink with more than 2 ingredients was a burden on their existence."
• "I left feeling very disappointed and upset."
• "The service was incredibly poor and slow at the bar to order."
• "Unprofessional staff can't communicate and will blame you for it."
• "The bartender that served us on the roof had little to no customer service."

Food & Drinks

Pros:

• "The savoury waffle was delicious."
• "Inside the teepee there is a BBQ in the centre where they cook amazing sausages and burgers."

• "Drinks seemed reasonable for London and the music was decent throughout the night."
• "The drinks are a reasonable price compared to what's around!"
• "Once the food came it was really good, had the burger and the chicken burger with fries they were nice."
• "On the roof there are food huts and in the winter a tent that retains enough heat to keep the roof fairly comfortable on cold nights."

Cons:

• "The £5 cocktails offer from 5-7pm was rather disappointing as the cocktails were premixed and on tap."
• "Food wasn't great - burger was a bit dry and very little choice."
• "Paying over four quid for a pint always hurts a bit too."
• "The downstairs is quite basic and beer selection isn't great."
• "The drinks and food were very nice, hence the 5 star rating, and reasonably priced for the area and type of establishment."
• "The drink they top you up with was grim."
• "Really slow bae service for cocktails, we ordered beer after the first round because it took so long, very under trained staff."
