About this space

Riverside Rooftop is a Rooftop at Barge East that provides a covered timber deck and a direct waterside outlook.

Design: Weathered timber tables and bench seating paired with dark metal stools create a simple, utilitarian aesthetic under a low-coloured canopy. Festoon lighting outlines the roofline and the layout feels compact and open to daylight.

Features: Bar-height communal tables and moveable metal stools provide flexible seating for mixed standing and seated use. An overhead electric heater is installed for cooler evenings and a timber balustrade defines the deck perimeter. An accessible toilet is available for guests.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, informal outdoor setting that mixes standing mingling and seated conversation.

What guests say: The outdoor seating is relaxed and popular for deckside sitting. The staff are attentive and accommodating during busy periods.

Summer Party · 25 guests · July 2024

The staff were very helpful and responsive when booking. The venue was nice with lovely views across the water and even when it got chilly there were good heaters. Really enjoyed our evening!

The only thing that was slightly frustrating was people coming up and using the private toilets in the space all night which made them get quite dirty. I know this was because it was a busy night but would have been good to have a sign on the door to say private function or something.

Boat · 22 guests · May 2024

Fantastic location and venue; highly attentive service and fantastic roast lunches for a big group in one go. We loved the flowers on the table, the quality of the wine and the fact the set up was exactly as we asked. The children had space to enjoy being on a boat and on the water - albeit with close supervision. We'll definitely be back. Also v well connected to Stratford, or via cabs from East London.

Party · 40 guests · November 2021

I had my birthday with 40 people at barge east and it was amazing! From the beginning the communication was so quick and helpful. The space itself was beautiful, great view and a very private spot. Despite it being end of November it was cozy and the staff made sure of it by setting up blankets and a hot water bottle station before we arrived. I couldn’t be happier and would definitely recommend to everyone to have an event here
