About SAMA Bankside
Two Victorian railway arches transform into 6,000 square feet of possibility at SAMA Bankside on Robinson Road. We've kept the original brickwork exposed and paired it with reclaimed wooden floors that tell their own story. The artwork on our walls changes the mood from corporate meetings in the morning to birthday celebrations by night. Our upper floor opens up to 150 standing guests, with the main bar serving British modern dishes that carry a Caribbean influence. Think jerk-spiced chicken alongside craft cocktails we've been perfecting since we opened. The lower floor works differently - a separate bar area flows into a private room where board meetings happen Tuesday afternoon and engagement parties take over Saturday evening. We run bottomless brunches that regularly sell out, beer pong tournaments that get competitive, and DJ nights where commercial R&B meets house classics. The AV setup handles everything from PowerPoint presentations to party playlists, and our catering adapts from working lunches to celebration feasts. What our guests tell us they love most is the contrast - that cosy ground floor room with its quirky character, matched with service that knows exactly what each event needs. We're tucked between Southwark and Blackfriars stations, making us easy to find whether you're bringing two colleagues for a strategy session or 350 friends for your product launch. The arches create natural acoustics that work brilliantly for both presentations and DJ sets. We've hosted everything from hot-desking freelancers during the day to 21st birthday parties that turn into proper club nights. Each space flexes to match what you're planning, with our team handling the technical details while you focus on your guests.

SAMA offers a lovely cosy room on the ground floor. The setting is quirky and unusual. The service was super professional and efficient. All in all, we are super happy.
