For
those not familiar with us, we have been voted one of London's best
outdoor pop-up cocktail bars since we built the Roof Garden at the
Brunel Museum in 2012, and we specialise in lovingly prepared
seasonal botanical cocktails round a campfire made by Midnight
Apothecary founder Lottie Muir AKA the Cocktail Gardener. We infuse
and garnish our drinks using ingredients grown in our rooftop
garden or foraged close by, with the menu
changing frequently based on what's growing in the garden. These
are all served
in our atmospheric setting right next to the Thames in the heart of
Rotherhithe Village. We are the best kept secret around here
being nestled
on top of the Thames Tunnel Shaft which was itself built in the
Victorian era by Marc Brunel. The garden is lovingly maintained and
is adorned with giant flares, hurricane lamps and fairy
lights.
We source all our alcohol and sodas carefully using local brews and spirits where possible eg Bermondsey's Hiver Honey Beer, Anspach & Hobday, the Kernel Brewery and Haggerston's 58 & Co's gin, as well as Hackney's Square Root Soda. Our wine is vegan, as is Kernel Brewery beer, and we have plenty of non-alcoholic mocktails for you. All spirits are premium brands. Our menu features a range of cocktails that change with the season, among which you can expect, for example, our take on the classic Mojito with house-made hibiscus and blackberry & mint syrup, alongside Lottie's crowd-pleasing 'Smoky Negroni' made with Jensen's Bermondsey Dry gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, scented geranium & pinewood-smoked lapsang souchong tea, and, our signature 'Midnight Margarita', with activated charcoal, premium tequila and a lime foam.
Choose between either the early sitting 5pm-7.15pm or the late sitting 7.30pm-10pm. Roof Garden tickets are bought individually per guest and include an optional Guided Descent down into the Tunnel Shaft led by local legend & actor, Tim Thomas. Ticket money goes directly to registered charity the Brunel Museum. PLEASE NOTE for all bookings of 6 or more guests you MUST email us first to discuss as there is a minimum spend and deposit to arrange.
We will have a centralised firepit up in the Roof Garden plus as many individual firepits to hire as safety will allow first come, first served with s'mores kits available to purchase via the menu on the night..
Please note only drinks bought from Midnight Apothecary may be consumed on the premises. We are an outdoor venue so there is no rain cover but bring a brolly if it looks like light showers as we fully embrace the Friluftsliv!
A perfect mates' night out or date for two. We look forward to welcoming you!
