Summer Vibes & Skyline Views – Up at The O2’s Rooftop Cocktail Bar

Everyone loves a cocktail in the sun – but how about raising the bar, literally? This summer, Up at The O2 is launching its very own Summer Sessions, a series of exclusive Friday night climbs with a twist: refreshing cocktails and mocktails, sky-high sunsets, and a resident DJ on the roof of one of London’s iconic landmarks where climbers will get to soak up the sun and the sights for the ultimate summer evening experience.

Running every Friday night from 25th July to 29th August, Up at The O2’s Summer Sessions will bring this stunning rooftop cocktail experience to life with climbs at 7pm, 7.30pm, and 8pm – perfectly timed for golden hour views across the capital. Climbers will meet at base camp, located beside The O2’s main entrance, and will be taken on a guided climb up and over the venue’s iconic roof, where cocktails, views and vibes await at the 52m-high summit.

Included in the Summer Sessions ticket, climbers will be treated to a premium cocktail, with non-alcoholic mocktails also available, served and garnished in a classic tiki glass, with a summer soundtrack provided by a live DJ. Climbers will be able to capture picture perfect shots of them relaxing in classic striped deckchairs against the backdrop of the London skyline, during extended time of 25 minutes on the roof. The ultimate way to kick off a summer weekend – whether you’re gathering friends for a unique summer spin, planning a date night to remember, or just looking for a reason to swap ground-level drinks for sky-high sips.

For more information and to book your Summer Sessions climb, please visit Up at The O2’s website here. The Summer Sessions climbs are available for £45 per person and are suitable for those aged 18+. Spaces are limited, and with views this good, they won’t last long. Advance booking is strongly advised.

What’s more, Up at The O2 is also offering adult climbers over the summer holidays (July 25^th – August 31^st) the chance to enjoy a selection of cocktails on the roof as an add-on for all regular climbs, so there’s plenty of opportunities to enjoy a sky-high tipple this summer. Climbs are available for those aged 8+ with prices starting from £37. O2 and Virgin Media customers can also enjoy 20% off when booking via Priority. Alongside the Summer Sessions, Up at The O2 offers a range of daily climb types, including Daytime, Twilight, Sunset and Celebration Climbs which include a glass of bubbly on the roof. Bookings can be made via Up at The O2’s website.
