Exposed brick, industrial vibes and a Brooklyn-meets-Berlin feel, SAMA Bankside is as stylish as it is versatile - ideal for birthdays, engagement parties, team socials, or just a night out done right.
Tucked beneath the arches near Blackfriars Bridge, SAMA Bankside is a multi-level venue that blends the energy of a late-night bar with a restaurant, party spot, and event space - all under one roof.
Awarded Best All-In-One Venue by DesignMyNight, SAMA is known for hand-rolled pizzas, addictive small plates, and signature cocktails crafted for the seasons. Don’t miss Happy Hour every weekday, 5pm–7pm, with 2-4-1 cocktails, £5 pints, and more.
Craving a little competition? Beer pong runs daily, and the energy turns all the way up on Friday and Saturday nights, when DJs spin a feel-good mix of club classics, R&B, house, and disco ‘til late.
With a capacity of up to 300 guests, SAMA offers flexible spaces including booths, lounges, a private dining room, and full venue hire for private or corporate events.
