    Went as part of birthday party group 1May. It was a last minute replacement. There was some mix up as the whole boat was hired out, but the owner went and hired out the top section separately. I have no idea about the cost to hire It wasn't my organizing, so the music wasn't my cup of tea. Even though it's Central London, £15. 50 for a coke with a capful of Bacardi and a bottle of lager is quite expensive. Unsure I would personally hire it out, but the night was what we made it, and as it was amongst family for the greater part, a enjoyable night out was had.

    We held a 50th birthday party on the boat. Everyone had a wonderful time and the staff were all really friendly and accommodating. With the outside top deck you can enjoy the London views during the evening and later into the night you can head downstairs to the dance floor and turn up the music until 3am! Great fun!

    We were recommended Bar & Co Boat by a friend for our leaving party. Johnny and the crew were so accommodating to us and our guests, which were up to almost 100 people at points during the evening. We were able to make the most of the large upper decking area in the warm weather and could have our music playing on speakers across the boat. Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun party venue on the Thames!

    We hired the upper deck at Bar & Co for our summer party of around 50 guests. Bar & Co is located right on the Thames and is a perfect place to watch the sun go down ove r London. Xavier was very helpful with our booking and very fair in honouring a bar tab set up in 2019 before Covid. Staff on board were friendly and efficient and all our guests had great time. We will definitely be back soon

    Great customer service all the way up until the event (shoutout to Xavier). The boat was great fun and felt like we had it to ourselves! Really quick return of deposit following the event as well. Highly recommend :)

    Went to a friends function on Saturday. The venue is quite picturesque & intimate. As far as I'm aware, they weren't serving food, so I can't comment on that. But all in, I found the staff very friendly, helpful & polite. Highly recommended. 👌🏽

    It was my first time here and I loved it! The arepas were so good! Tasty and fresh. I enjoyed the sunset by the river Thames.. the cocktails were so tasty, and the bartender was a really nice person! Come to this!

    Great place to chill and to have some nice drinks & tapas, with a wonderful view of the bridges and buildings of London. Super nice atmosphere and welcoming place. Worth a visit if you want to simply relax & listen to good music on the Thames 🎶🙂

    My friend and I organised a private party at bar and co for c60 people. The bar had been newly refurbished and was in great condition and it’s such a great location down on the river. Over and above this, the real standout is the staff, we had a number of different requests (including decorations and live music) which they handled quickly and efficiently. Not only this but they were really friendly and helpful throughout the entire event. Would certainly work with them again and highly recommend.

  • 5/5 peter b. 10 months ago on Google
    Had a wonderful evening. The atmosphere on the boat was amazing and I couldn't think of a better place to be than on a summersxday than on the Thames in a boat. Great service and a great night. Thanks Bar and Co.

    Hired out for a friend's birthday, well equipped bar and sound system lead to a very good evening. Open till late too!

  • 5/5 El Gran S. 1 year ago on Google
    Bar&Co's lack of refinement is exactly what makes it one of the best open-air entertaining options in London. Unpretentious to the core, the lovely staff is more than able to cater for your party's thirst to enjoy a great summer evening-upon-Thames.

    Bar and co hosted our company's summer party and everyone was very pleased with it! The managers were amazing from the beginning until the end, giving us maximum support and accommodating our requests. We opted for Tapas and Paella and it was delicious and the quantities were huge - which is very hard to find in central London! They were very responsive when organising making my life easier. Definitely we are looking forward to book this Venue for more company events. The central location is a bonus, this way everyone could attend and leave whenever. Thank you Bar and Co for providing such a good evening.

    A great local. Great selection of beers, open fire for the winter, benches outside for the summer. Good WiFi connection and pool table.

  • 5/5 Misti P. 2 years ago on Google
    Hosted an amazing 25th birthday for me. Very well equipped. Amazing staff and everyone extremely helpful. Quick responses! Would 10000% recommend this boat for parties / events

  • 5/5 Sam H. 1 year ago on Google
    This venue is excellent. We held my husbands 50th birthday party here and it was fantastic. The staff were extremely helpful and very flexible with timings and putting decorations up. We had a lovely paella which everyone said was really tasty. Once the party boats go you have a fantastic view and it was beautiful to watch the London skyline light up. Bar prices were very reasonable for London. Thank you Bar and Co for a memorable evening.

    I hired this venue for a joint 30th and had the best time!! Xavier was extremely responsive and Johnny and the rest of the team working on the night were so helpful. We had the best time and wish we could do it all over again! Will definitely be coming back for drinks soon.

    My drink tasted a lot like the river. It was also quite wet and cold inside the boat.

    Amazing party venue!! The staff went out of their way to make sure my 30th party went well and they were so helpful. Great views of London from the top deck and fun club vibes on the bottom deck. Definitely recommend!!

    Wass here with my girlfriend with NYE. I would not recommend it to go there when it is a big event. The finger food was gone around 10:30 PM. The bar staff was really slow. Some products at the bar where allready gone for example simple normal vodka. For 200 pounds you expect a fully stocked bar and a littlebit better service.
