What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable praise the beautiful rooftop views, especially at sunset. Diners love the chic setting and say the drinks are “spot on” for pre-show socializing. Many mention the friendly staff and note it's a great place to feel the buzz of Soho before heading out for live music.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the menu is on the smaller side, so it’s best for light dining rather than a full meal. Seating can be a bit limited during peak hours, and being a rooftop, it’s weather-dependent—so check the forecast before you go.

The Bottom Line

If you’re after rooftop views, creative drinks, and a buzzing Soho atmosphere just steps from your venue, Soho Sky Terrace is a top pick for pre-show dining and drinks.
