Bookings

Can I book a table?

Yep — head to our BOOKINGS page to reserve a table for inside or on the rooftop. Walk-ins are always welcome too.

Do you take group bookings or parties?

Absolutely. We love a birthday, pre-drinks, or just gathering the crew. For smaller groups that can all be done via our bookings page, any larger than 20 and you can drop us an email at hello@oculist.pub

The Rooftop

Is the rooftop bar open all year?

The roof terrace is open all year round: if we are open the roof terrace is open! We’ve got heaters and covered sections for the colder months. The rooftop bar is only open on Saturdays (for now).

Is the rooftop accessible?

Unfortunately not — the roof is only accessible via stairs. But our ground floor is fully accessible, including an accessible toilet. See our ACCESSIBILITY INFO for more comprehensive information.

Student Nights

Do you do student nights?

We do! Thursdays are our designated student nights w/ student deals (but students are always welcome). Check our EVENTS or INSTAGRAM for updates.

Do I need a student ID to come?

No — our student nights are open to everyone, but you’ll need ID if you want the drinks discounts.
