Perched high above the city on level 52 of The Shard—and within the Shangri-La Hotel—GŎNG Bar delivers a cocktail experience that’s as breathtaking architecturally as it is socially. Named after the Chinese dougong architectural brackets reflected in its design, the bar features plush grey leather, polished wood, accents of gold and red, and intimate, chamber-like zones including the Cocktail Bar, Champagne Bar, and even a poolside area. As Western Europe’s highest hotel bar, GŎNG is renowned for its sky-high ambiance. Here, thoughtfully crafted, Orient-inspired cocktails accompany a sweeping view that spans Tower Bridge and beyond. The bar embraces personalization—ask your bartender for a trip down memory lane or local inspiration, and they’ll conjure something unforgettable. Reservations are highly recommended and allow for a 90-minute visit. Although window seat requests can’t be guaranteed, there are upgrade options like a Deluxe Window Experience—for two guests, a reserved window seat with champagne and an Asian platter for about £250. Beyond drinks, GŎNG also dazzles with elevated bar snacks and a selection of rare vintage Champagnes—perfect complements to London’s evening skyline.
