Marketing itself as ‘East London’s Rooftop,’ Netil360 had a lot to live up to. I’d been waiting patiently for a sunny afternoon in order to give it the best chance to shine. On Friday 25th May 2018, conditions were perfect.

Seating
There are a number of seating areas on the roof (with some inside if required) – all are available on a first come first serve basis (their website advises arriving around 14:00 on popular days if you have a large group). If you manage to get hold of one of the leather chairs areas, you’ll be in for a comfortable afternoon. Score: 4/5
Atmosphere
The best thing about Netil360 is the atmosphere. Fresh pint in hand, wandering across the decking, it quickly became clear that the ambience was spot on. On the evening I visited, they were playing a strong variety of lounge, house and hip-hop at the perfect volume. With smiles all-round, I couldn’t help but feel my mood lift as the combination of backdrop, beer and atmosphere really got to work. The sunset was about as good as you’ll get in London with no obstacles and a clear view – after dark, the volume of the music increased slightly as people began to fire up. Score: 4.5/5
Beer
With regards to beer, Netil360 is currently offering 2 draft beers (Truman’s Raw Tank Lager & Five Points Pale Ale), a draft cider (Cote Breton Cidre) and a selection of craft cans. I went for a pint of Raw Tank, it hit the mark in terms of temperature but I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about the plastic cup. There was a fair queue at the bar all evening but with plenty of staff this was never an issue – the average serving time (AST) was under 2 minutes

Summary
With a solid view of our dear capital, basking in sun and surrounded by happy people – the first sip was certainly memorable.
