Cocktail Bar London Bridge

After-work drinks, happy hour until 7pm and a terrace under the lights

The Old School Yard is London Bridge's liveliest cocktail bar: a proper neighbourhood bar with a school-themed cocktail list, festoon lights and an atmosphere that lands the moment you walk in. After-work drinks, a pre-dinner cocktail or the start of a big night, we are ready for you from 5:30pm, Tuesday to Saturday.

Open Tuesday to Saturday from 5:30pm, happy hour until 7pm

After-Work Drinks in London Bridge

Five minutes from London Bridge and Borough stations, we are the easiest yes you will make all week. Grab a spot on the terrace, settle in at the bar or take a booth inside. The cocktails are made from fresh ingredients, the music runs from 80s and 90s classics to whatever is filling floors this year, and the fairy lights are doing their thing.

Walk-ins are always welcome. If you are 4 or more and want a base for the night, book a free table and it is yours from your chosen start time until close.

  • A school-themed cocktail menu made from fresh ingredients, plus a full alcohol-free list.
  • Beers on tap and in bottles, wines and soft drinks.
  • Festoon lights, the mural and a bar that is busy by 7pm.
  • Bench seating inside and out, booths for groups.
  • Private karaoke rooms downstairs if the night needs a chorus.
  • Seconds from Borough station and a short walk from London Bridge.
