About Main Bar
250 Standing / Reception
200 Seated
Glass walls rise from polished floors to create The Sterling's Main Bar, where natural light transforms throughout the day from bright morning sunshine to the warm glow of City lights after dark. Our signature orange-quilted bar stretches along one side of the room, its textured surface catching light from the geometric pendants suspended overhead. We've arranged the space with clusters of high tables and comfortable seating in rich oranges and greens, creating natural gathering spots whether you're hosting 50 or 250 guests. The furniture layout flows easily, letting your party spread organically through the room. Those floor-to-ceiling windows frame the bustling City streets, giving your guests constantly changing views as bankers and tourists pass by this iconic location. Our architectural glass staircase leads to additional seating areas above, but most parties gravitate towards the main floor where the energy concentrates around that impressive bar. We find the space works brilliantly for corporate celebrations, with groups often starting with presentations using our AV setup before the evening transforms into cocktails and conversation. The open kitchen adds theatre to your event, with our chefs preparing fresh platters and canapés in full view. We stock the bar with premium spirits, craft beers, and wines selected specifically for party occasions. The room handles 250 for standing receptions or 200 seated, though we often see groups preferring the cocktail-style setup that encourages mingling. Transport couldn't be simpler, with Liverpool Street, Bank, and Aldgate stations all within walking distance. The ground floor location means easy access for all your guests, while being part of the Gherkin gives your event that special London landmark appeal. Our events team coordinates everything from furniture arrangements to bar service, ensuring your party flows exactly as you envision.
