Verified Reviews of 30th Birthday Party Venues in South Bank
Thoroughly recommend Alaska for any party. Celebrated my 30th here and was very pleased with everything - great team.
Great space, very friendly and helpful staff and booking was very easy. Guests were able to easily order food/drinks on the night and vibes were great!
A great venue to celebrate an event or birthday party, very close to Blackfriars station, nice decor, drinks and food, helpful staff and the minimum spend is very reasonable - thank you!
Food was great and well presented. Canapes (goats cheese target and mini burgers were fab!) as was the pizzas. Worked perfectly for the event. The space was great too
A great venue and perfect space for my 30th birthday party. Steve and his team were very friendly and helpful and everyone had a great time.
Steve and the team were really helpful and flexible in preparing, setting up and looking after us on the night. One of the railway arches was perfect was 50 people and the ability to spill out into the wider area was also great.
Excellent area, service and food! Was an extremely successful night for my 30th and everyone had a great night, the music was great as well! Thank you :)
