Sonnys Rooftop Bar Reopens for Summer
Sonnys Rooftop Bar Reopens with River Views, DJ Sunset Sessions and Bottomless Brunch
One of the most popular rooftop bars in Kingston upon Thames reopens, bringing bottomless brunch, DJ sunset sessions and panoramic River Thames views back to southwest London.
Sonnys Rooftop Bar has now reopened, marking the return of a lively riverside venue that has become a favourite gathering spot for locals, students and visitors alike. Overlooking the Thames in one of Kingston’s most scenic locations, the rooftop offers a relaxed setting where daytime drinks easily transition into evening celebrations.
As Kingston continues to grow as a vibrant lifestyle destination for southwest London and Surrey, the reopening of Sonnys signals the return of long evenings by the river, shared plates and music drifting across the Thames.
Riverside Drinks with River Thames Views
Set above the bustling riverside, Sonnys rooftop combines laid-back social energy with sweeping views across the River Thames. Fully covered and heated, the rooftop space allows guests to enjoy the atmosphere throughout the year, whether visiting for after-work drinks, weekend brunch or sunset cocktails.
Owner Sam Berry says the team is excited to welcome guests back for another season overlooking the river.
“We’re super excited to be reopening the rooftop and bringing the vibes back to Kingston’s riverside. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back for sundowners, DJs and the best view in Kingston.”
With its Riviera-inspired styling, warm lighting and relaxed seating areas, Sonnys has become one of the most distinctive bars in Kingston upon Thames, particularly during the warmer months when the terrace fills with evening drinkers enjoying the skyline views.
Food, Cocktails and Weekend Brunch
Food and drinks at Sonnys are designed to complement the relaxed rooftop setting. Working alongside co-founder Sat Ghuman, Berry has created a menu centred around sharing plates and easy-going Mediterranean flavours.
Guests can expect sharing pizzas, dips and small plates designed for social dining, alongside a cocktail list that leans into golden-hour drinks including spritzes, frozen cocktails, mocktails and cold beers served against the Thames backdrop.
The rooftop also launches a new bottomless brunch in Kingston upon Thames, expected to become a popular weekend option for celebrations and relaxed afternoons by the river.
