About this space

The Rooftop Bar is a rooftop space in The Rum House at Jim & Tonic East that functions as an open-air terrace centred on informal, communal seating and flexible layouts.

Design: The terrace sits behind low brick parapet walls and uses paved flooring, timber furniture and mixed-colour benches for a stripped-back, industrial-urban look. The area incorporates potted plants and low-level festoon lighting to keep the scale casual and sociable.

Features: The space has a PA system and speakers, venue Wi‑Fi and permission for hosts to play their own music or bring a DJ, subject to the venue's noise restrictions. The layout includes long picnic tables, loose lounge seating and parasol umbrellas that can be arranged for standing or seated formats.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social outdoor gathering that mixes informal seated areas and standing reception space.

What sets it apart: A covered timber pavilion on the roof provides sheltered seating that extends the usable space in poor weather and creates a distinct sheltered zone.

Party · 60 guests · July 2026
Jim & Tonic is a wonderful venue, perfect for the summer. Pawel, was extremely helpful and very responsive. We were given a tour of the venue prior to the event and all supporting staff were polite and answered any and all questions. They were very accommodating and met all our needs/requirements. The drinks were fairly priced, especially considering typical London prices! There was a wide variety of options including non-alcoholic options.

FAQ

Yes. The sound system is plug-and-play, and DJ decks must be able to connect to an RCA socket.

All music must be played through the in-house sound system, which has limiters in place, and licensing regulations prevent the volume being raised above the permitted level. Speakers are installed and ready for use, and devices can be connected via USB-C, Mini Jack or Lightning port.

Because the venue is close to a residential area, noise levels are much more reduced than in indoor areas.

Yes, guests may play their own music, but noise restrictions apply because of the venue’s proximity to a residential area.
