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.

  • Happy hour until 7pm Two menu cocktails for £10 and two bottles of Becks for £5 on every open day, while the bar fills up.
  • Heated terrace Bench seating out front under the festoon lights, heated in winter, first come first served for walk-ins.
  • Free tables for groups 4 or more? Book a table for nothing and keep it until we close.
  • Karaoke upstairs Five private karaoke rooms for 2 to 20 when the mood takes you.

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.

More Than Just a Cocktail Bar

The Old School Yard is also five private karaoke rooms, a cocktail masterclass, a Latin night and a Halloween party. Birthdays, work nights out, hen dos and date nights all start at the bar and carry on upstairs. Use the bar first, then take the party into a room of your own.
