The Golden Bee lounge and cocktail bar in Shoreditch is an oasis of excitement and elegance in London’s trendiest neighbourhood, featuring three floors of space and one of the capital’s most sought-after rooftop terraces. Our optimal location is only seconds from Old Street tube station, as well as a short walking distance from Liverpool Street and Moorgate stations. Escape the hectic city life and take in views of East London and beyond at Golden Bee, where you’ll find so much more than just a cocktail bar.

Golden Bee offers the ideal relaxation setting during the week for meeting up after work for a few drinks with friends or coworkers. On our rooftop you can bask in the sun with a refreshing cocktail and kick back on one of our lounge sofas or, if its cold out, get cosy around our fire pit wrapped in a blanket! When the weekend arrives, Golden Bee transforms from a cocktail bar into full-on club mode. Every Friday and Saturday our DJ’s crank up the music for 3 floors of thrilling tunes, tantalising drinks and sensational views where you can lose yourself on the dance floor and party in style into the early hours.

Everyday is an occasion at Golden Bee, so whether you’re just after some post-work drinks or ready to commit to an entire night on the town, Golden Bee is ready to welcome you with ambience, atmosphere, and great music curated by our DJ’s. As one of the top rooftop bars in Shoreditch, our weekly schedule is packed with happy hour specials, a delicious drink menu and even food platters for table bookings.

The Main Bar/Club is located on the first floor of the venue. It has a large bar, dance-floor and our DJ booth. The club is perfect for those who want to be right in the action with our fantastic sound system and lighting effects. The club can accommodate up to 150 making Golden Bee a fantastic choice for a smaller team and a late night celebration!

All we do is charge a minimum spend for this space meaning all the money you put down goes on your drinks throughout the night! You make the most of your money whilst enjoying the amazing decor and tunes from the DJ! You can do food in this space making it ideal for a cosy winter or summer get-together.

The space has recently been taken advantage of due to it's improved sound system by the likes of Defected Records. We love this space and depending on what you require for your celebration, could be the perfect space for a more intimate occasion. With prices starting from £500 it's not a space you'd want to miss!

    We hired the rooftop of Golden Bee at short notice for a corporate party and were blown away by the space, food and staff, thank you Jasmine, Paige and Aaron on the night who looked after us. The venue is brilliant, we will certainly be back!

    We hired Golden Bee for a private company party, and it was an absolute blast - our best yet! A massive thank you to Paige and Jasmine for excellent communication and patience given we pulled the event together in very short notice, Beatrice for being so attentive and helpful during the event, and all of the bar staff, the DJ, security for looking after us. Staff were super quick to clear up any spilled drinks and respond to stints of rain, relighting the fire etc. We were well-fed, which hasn't been my experience with other caterers, really pleased with portion sizes provided by the caterers that Golden Bee sourced. Thank you Golden Bee team!!!

    I enjoyed an evening here with my friends for my birthday. There was a great atmosphere and the girls at the door were lovely. However, every drink served had a service charge even though we never got an actual service. This is a complete rip off in my opinion. Also, some of my friends did not get in despite the place not being overly crowded - very disappointing. great DJ and atmosphere however but I wouldn’t run back!

    I used to love Golden Bee and have had so many good times there over the years. However, my recent experience on Sat 3rd Aug 24, has completely changed my opinion. Upon arrival (at around 1800) my friend and I walked to the entrance where there were two women having a conversation. Both were dressed very casually and neither acknowledged us walking over, so we presumed they weren't staff. I squeezed behind the woman with her back to me (the shorter and slimmer of the two, acts like Jaq from Top Boy) knowing that I'd have to talk to the lady at the till and pay the entrance fee - at which point she started berrating me about disregarding her, talking to me like a child, saying things like 'is that what you do? Just go in somewhere without security checking you?!' Her behavior was unprofessional and completely unacceptable. I didn't argue since she clearly had the power to refuse entry, but the experience left a very sour taste in my mouth. It's disappointing to see such a great place marred by the attitude of individual staff members. All other members of staff were polite as per usual. I hope management takes note and addresses this issue. Until then, I won't be returning.
