I recently hosted a surprise birthday party at Glasshaus, and it was a fantastic experience! All the staff were very helpful and ensuring everything went smoothly. Special thanks to Amy who was excellent in communication and Beata who helped me with catering, and Neve, Duty Manger on the day, was efficient and welcoming. The venue itself is charming and created the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. Guests loved it! Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to host a memorable event.

Andrew was so helpful from beginning until end. He made the process easy and simple and answered the 100’s of questions that I had. The venue was perfect location wise as it is right opposite Waterloo station. My guests were impressed with the decor and layout the venue. It made my 25th birthday so special! Thank you Andrew! I would recommend this venue to everyone.

Booked Upper Arch at SAMA Bankside
4.3

The place was quiet which meant that it felt very much like a nearly private party! The bartenders were very kind and attentive. Food went down well (it’s not INCREDIBLE food but it did the trick). Drinks demolished. Beer pong fun. Nice to be able to go outside to get some air. DJ did well and catered to what he saw we liked. Great birthday all around and would definitely recommend. Very accommodating and allowed an external birthday cake and balloons. Thank you!
