This is a large venue with a bar area, lounge type area and big restaurant looking out over the Thames. A little like a hotel complex really.
No draught of any description is available and every drink is served with a little napkin. I gave the correct money so I don't know if the change is given on a little silver tray, but it wouldn't surprise me if it is.
If you like pubs I’d suggest skipping this place.

I popped in to this place earlier this evening just to see what all the fuss is all about. What a souless aweful money cow of a place. Why do they only sell bottled beer? There are far too many of these artificial "IKEA" type bars in SW London.

Spent a Saturday night here a few weeks ago with a group of mates and had a fantastic time! This was mainly down to the music - how often can you go to a bar in London and hear Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Hives, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, The Pixies... there was not a dud song to be heard.
I was also rather taken with the Espresso Martinis - my new favourite drink - mixed to perfection. A good list of cocktails overall actually.
OK the place is crawling with Saffas - but later on in the evening they take off to the Thai Square anyway.

I went to Rocket for my friend's birthday and it was the best night out.
We went to the bar first to have some cocktails and the staff was very helpful to help me choose from their wide variety of cocktails.
We had dinner in the restaurant which was lively but with a cosy feel to it.
The portions of the food was big, but there was something for eveybody to choose.
The service was good and all the staff was friendly and we had a lovely table overlooking the river.
Went back to the bar afterwards for some more cocktails and great music.
Can definetly recommend this place for a great night out.

Over priced, over rated, and, considering its amazing location, overdue new ownership to sort it out.
Don’t waste your time here.

If you are looking for a great restaurant, this is definitely not the place for you. A table for a birthday party of 11 was booked more than a week in advance, however upon arrival, we were told by the most unhelpful and rude hostess, that she had no booking at all. The restaurant was only 20% full at the time, and yet she couldn’t be bothered to try and make a plan – we were told “It is Sunday lunch you know”. We told her we realised this and that was why we had made a booking. She then asked us to leave the restaurant area and finish our drinks in the bar. We eat out on a regular basis, and never have I been treated and spoken to in such an aggressive manner. The worst restaurant experience ever!

Well, the location is so sweet, but the bar waitresses are not. Not belonging to the Swede clique hurts your chances for good service, or any service at all. Wont head back there because of staff rudeness. Ruined an otherwise nice evening.

Beautiful location and swankyish cocktail style bar on the river. The night we were there they plyed fantastic music all night and we had a great time. Lovely drinks made by friendly staff and smiley cocktail waitresees.
We have already been back and will probably go there for new years eve

oh my god! nice surroundings and all, but the service is the worst I have ever experienced in London, surly and slow, and the food ain't much cop either! OK for a drink but don't be fooled by how nice the food looks on the menu. it isn't. not one bit!

Full of kids when I was last there (I am 32). Felt 15 years older than everyone. I obviously dont speak Afrikaans or say "Yah" correctly as it took ages to get served.
Hip feel to the place though, and a late license on weekends. Feel sorry for those lulled into paying silly money for the flat upstairs!
