    We had such a great time here with Romane and Molly, they were such great hosts the whole time. Would highly recommend. Simmons are always excellent but this had an even more personal experience and we felt so welcome

    Attended friends 40th birthday party. 1st time attending this bar and I found it small and cozy. The atmosphere was buzzing and everyone was having a good time. The staff were attentive and the DJ played some good tunes but don't make a request as he is limited and he only has "what they send" ??? Not the cheapest of places for drinks JD & coke £12 but as a treat its a nice place with a good vibe.

    I may be Kate to the party on these bars but I really rate them. Good quality cocktails made with care. 2 fir a tenner on a Friday night till 9pm in London, do me a favour. Great atmosphere, good vibe but seating can be tight. Otherwise get in.

    Bouncer was a bit rude. Inside, it took a while to have the people working the bar to take my order (they were too busy getting down to “Calm Down” with their friends or whoever the loud folks were). The drinks were okay, not the greatest; a little watered down. This bar seems to be mostly for the aesthetic and niche crowd. I’ve seen better service and drinks at a Hooters.

    Walked in to this empty bar on a Tuesday night with a gang of work colleagues after our Christmas party. The bar staff definitely earned their pay that night - they thought they were going to have a quiet night bless them. But yeah decent vibes, good spotify playlist and lovely staff.

    Unfortunately the space reserved for us was far too small for our group, but Sabina was really helpful and understanding. She was amazing and managed to sort us a table at a nearby Simmons so we could still carry on our night. Thanks Sabina!

    A hidden gem. Cocktails were well priced and the decor was lovely. Not too busy and service was great. Only thing was the Cocktails got a bit too sweet. Would have drunk more if they weren't as sweet.

  • 5/5 Liliana 1 year ago on Google
    Yesterday was my first time visiting Simmons and I had an evening spent here (during happy hour). Good drink selections, nice atmosphere, good music, the place felt cosy and was clean (inc. the toilet which is a plus!!). The staff were friendly too so, keep it up! 😊

  • 5/5 Eliane P. 1 year ago on Google
    This bar as well as the bartenders are amazing !! Good place, good music, very safe and chill ! My friends and I really had a great time, especially thanks to Ashley, Ryan and Romane - they are very welcoming and friendly ! I do recommend !!!

  • 5/5 Jordon T. 1 year ago on Google
    Great spot for a dance and drink! Wish DJs would play requested songs or at least the music people wish to hear

  • 5/5 Kendra K. 4 years ago on Google
    Cool affordable place for flavorful libations. The ambiance was chill for two travelers on a Tuesday spending their last evening in London. The musical vibes were great. The cocktail list was creative. Definitely a place I would visit again.

  • 5/5 Aidan F. 1 year ago on Google
    Despite being one of the smaller Simmons bars, this one is big on atmosphere! Very efficient and friendly service - will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Swet Lii P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice quiet spot on a Wednesday night if you want to hear eachother talking. Happy hour was great. Bar staff very good. Cant go wrong with Simmons.

  • 5/5 Nile I. 1 year ago on Google
    Just stumbled upon this bar on our way back. Saw the bartender put tissues over the drinks of the group of girls who went out to smoke. Instantly felt safer. 10/10. Great vibes, great service, great music.

  • 5/5 Damarius P. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing little bar with a great staff. Super friendly and amazing drinks. Definitely recommend getting the "teapot," whether it be during happy hour or regular hours. They have a photo booth, which was a lot of fun after a couple of drinks, lol. I also recommend the gumny bear. Overall, some of the better drinks I have ever had at a bar, especially for the price.

  • 5/5 Dario Aguinaldo C. 1 year ago on Google
    On of the best! Manager and Staff are wonderful! Also Security Guy very caring and welcoming. I recommend for sure. Cheers everyone.

  • 5/5 M A. 4 months ago on Google
    So this weekend was my first time in this bar and I live around the corner . Don’t ask but I can only remember the staffs names as “Chaka Khan, Sexy Sheikh/Stu and Ryanichops”. They were amazing been to few Simmons bar let me tell you this is by far the best . Amazing team atmosphere and crown . Looked after like family and nothing too much trouble x

  • 4/5 Jack R. 5 months ago on Google
    The manager Sabinaa M is wicked! Very knowledgable, kind, funny and knows her stuff. Recommend for a late night drink or easy after work pit stop!

  • 5/5 Erika P. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Rod M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Desislava D. 2 years ago on Google
    Great vibes, great music, great staff. We accidentally found it and went in for a quick drink, we ended up staying for 3+ hours. It's a small, but great place.

  • 5/5 Gemma B. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Adam T. 2 years ago on Google
    Best happy hour ever. Cocktails are cheap, strong and tasty! Great place to go for a few drinks! Janie was attentive and super friendly! Thanks guys, will be back ☺️

  • 5/5 Martin R. 2 years ago on Google
    Picture this: You’re walking through London. Everything is going well. But deep down inside you can’t shake the feeling that something is missing. Something is stopping “pretty good” from being “perfect”. This bar. This unsuspecting bar is your perfect. Go. Embrace it. It’s waiting for you. And ask for Elliot and Meg. They’ll treat you right

  • 5/5 Aidan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Elliott and Meg are the best! Felt right at home amongst the picturesque Whitechapel streets, the glowing skull disco ball and their smiling faces. 5 stars.

  • 1/5 Mr J. 2 years ago on Google
    Slow service and all seats had been reserved. Didn't feel welcome at all. Not the best experience if you want a 'spontaneous drink'. It used to be a really good bar! Would not recommend or return

  • 5/5 Rishem K. 2 years ago on Google
    Josh is 10/10. Great service. Made our trip to Simmons Tower Bridge memorable.

  • 5/5 Lily-Ann L. 2 years ago on Google
    lovely experience. the staff are really fantastic !

  • 1/5 Rahma A. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is nice and played ok music but what upsets me the most was when you buy a drink they give you cups full of ice and barely any drink in there, we spent £30 on a cocktails but as you can see in the picture it was all ice . please stop ripping people off by serving them ice, , I feel like the mix race lady behind the bar that served us done this on purpose unless she hasn’t got a clue how to make cocktails, image paying £30 for ice absolutely ridiculous.

  • 5/5 Rita O. 2 years ago on Google
    The whole chain of Simmons is amazing!! Great drinks and great vibes every time I come. Also has a great playlist with a great dj!!

  • 5/5 Cristina C. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Ryan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic place. I’m American and this might have been the best spot I went to and London. Joshua and Ash were very friendly and made great drinks. If you’re here or a local come here !

  • 5/5 Razvan G. 2 years ago on Google
    This is one of the best bars in London - Elise is one of the most legendary bartender ever! We loved her company and she’s incredible. She made us feels very welcomed, she offered us the best deals and I will come here more often.

  • 5/5 Natalie B. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the best happy hour I, Nat, have been to in the Whitechapel area. The cocktails are delicious, and the vibes are supreme. Truly a sublime experience. I would recommend it to all. Josh was a true friend to all, and a beautiful soul.

  • 5/5 Bryan R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar in a great location. The bartenders Ash and Joshua are very friendly, and made the experience even better. Definitely recommend checking this place out, you won’t be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Elijah P. 1 year ago on Google
    Joshua & Ash was the best bartender I’ve had here in London. We’ve been to bars in Soho but nothing compares to the immaculate vibes that radiate from this gem of a bar. Definitely a must visit

  • 5/5 Josh H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great service by Barmens Ash and Joshua would highly recommended as he atmosphere is amazing.

  • 5/5 Jacob d. 1 month ago on Google • 1 review New
    Tower bridge Simmons has a different feel than any other I have been to. The vibe is unmatched. Sabina, Josh and Brian are amazing and friendly and the music choice is unbeatable!!!

  • 2/5 PEDMAN 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Everything about this venue could of been better in my opinion. The juxtaposition of seating was uncomfortable , the lighting was misplaced and interior design lacked ambience. Cocktails were weak and lackluster, even thou they seemed to be a fair price for the happy hour. The one single focal point about the space was the photo booth , which quite frankly is a whole separate review but to put it simply I felt majorly robbed!

  • 5/5 rajma d. 3 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    Sabinaa was cheerful and was fun She gave us good suggestions for drinks it had a great time

  • 5/5 Neha 2 months ago on Google • 2 reviews New

  • 1/5 Ricky G. 7 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    First time visited Simmons our first cocktail was really good and great service from the gentleman behind the bar. However on our next cocktail the female bartender not only over charged us didn't even bother to explain the cost or apologies she served us with possibly the worst long island ice tea ever. Her attitude was don't care and not botherd. Shame really that one staff ruined the service and our experience

  • 5/5 Grace 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I always recommend Simmons to everyone i know who wants a great night out in London. Tower Bridge Simmons is cosy, delicious drinks and super friendly staff - Shout out to Sabina who helped me choose a shot for my Mom!
