We just followed a group of nicely dressed people into the lift hoping they weren’t Bradley Murdochs in disguise. After asking the lift to take us to level ‘R’, which was as good a guess as any, we shot into the sky and walked out (alive) onto a rooftop space that is all wood cladding and wall art.<br/ <br/ Part bar, part eatery, The Rook serves cocktails of the fancy kind, along with diner food (burgers, fries and lobster rolls). They also proclaim to be gin wizards. I don’t drink gin, so can’t verify this claim.

Decent happy hour until 7pm which was great as most of my friends don’t get out of work till 6pm so we usually can’t make the earlier happy hours around. Excellent table service, our waitress was very very attentive, helpful and efficient. Lovely place whether you attend in bigger group (I had 10 and had booked in advance so we got a lovely long table in the back corner) or for a date or small catch up with friends.
