What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable love the central location, calling it a "hidden gem" just off Leicester Square. Guests rave about the champagne-focused menu, the vibrant atmosphere, and how it’s a “great place to enjoy a drink in the open air.” Many mention the staff being “friendly and attentive,” and the setting as “perfect for people-watching.”

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the space can get a little crowded during peak times, especially in the summer. Since it’s outdoors, weather can be a factor—best enjoyed on a clear night. A few diners mentioned that the food menu is limited, so it’s more of a drinks-and-snacks type of place than a full dinner spot.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a stylish, centrally located cocktail bar to elevate your concert night, The Terrace by Pommery is a top choice for bubbles, bites, and buzz.
