Great place to sit outside and watch the world go by. Good cocktail selection, always full of giggling City Girls drinking cosmo's. Love it here, specially on sunny days!

I hadn't been to Jacks for a couple years, and its was in the summer and the place was jammed! met up with some friends, and was impressed with calm and polite staff, table service!! I haven't had table service in a bar since being europe, at last a place where there isn't a 6 nations scrum at the bar, because you don't have to, excellent outdoors nicely covered up, with heaters, and almost unbelievable a polite door man, well done Jacks, I'm impressed!

I recently was handed the millstone which was organising the Christmas Party this task was made more difficult in that it was going to be self funded and therefore money was limited and had to accommodate the whole department of at least 100 people. We looked around Southwark and found Jacks Lounge to be the ideal size.

We had fairly exacting requirements and Ian at Jacks lounge was able to meet all of them. We had no issues at all. There were more than enough staff behind the bar to cope and we had exclusive use of the venue.
They organised a great buffet with canapes and were more than happy to cope with all dietary requirements. The price was very reasonable too.

The venue itself is laid back and stylish without trying too hard. A great venue which I would have no hesitation in recommending or to using again.

I recently hired Jack's as a venue for a corporate party and I couldn't have asked for a better service!

The staff were fantastic, from both an organising aspect as well as on the night. The food was perfectly lovely and the venue proved a brilliant setting for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves.

I would definitely recommend Jack's Lounge to anyone, and will almost certainly be returning for a party next year.

A party in May is an annual tradition for my company, but it has been said that this was our best year ever!!

Thank you Jack's!

We held our wedding reception in Jack's Lounge and had a FANTASTIC night!

The staff couldn't have have helped us more - before our big day we often popped in for drinks to sort out bits and pieces and they always made time for us and were genuinely happy to see us and help us out.

They really went out of their way to ensure that we had a great night, and many of our 120+ guests told us afterwards what an amazing night they had as well.

Friendly staff, good food, nice decor and atmosphere, so quite probably the best bar in the Southwark and Waterloo area!

A fabulous night - thanks to all. My birthday party went with a bang.

My 40th was stress free and great fun. The food was delicious (so all guests have told me- I was too busy to eat), and there was so much of it - they even made a special strudel for dessert.

The staff were fun and really attentive - but good attentive - not in your face attentive and the music was great.

120 people turned up and every one of them loved the venue, the food, the drinks - the whole package when it comes to a great night out.

I'll be back for those after works drinks too!If you want a great place with great food and great service at a fair price for your party - go to Jacks

My husband and I went to Jack’s Lounge a couple of weeks ago and came away extremely disappointed.

The venue itself has great potential – although how the Laura Ashley style lamps made it into the bar is beyond me.

The average service and awful food certainly ensured that we will not be returning. Do not rely on anything stated on their website.

We were there on a Saturday evening, which their website states is 2 for 2 on cocktails and 30% off on food.

It was in fact 3 cocktails for the price of 2 on a very limited selection and 30% off on a limited selection of food.

When we asked for the full food menu we were told that only the limited selection was served until 8pm as it was not profitable enough for the bar to serve the full menu even when patrons are willing to pay the full price and the menu and website actually state that it is served from 6pm.

The food is also more expensive than indicated on their website.

We did not want to make a scene so we enjoyed a few drinks and tried some rather horrible vegetable spring rolls.

Maybe we should thank the staff for stopping us from spending a fortune on mediocre food.

We ended up grabbing Burger King before we jumped on our train from Waterloo.
