This place is unique. It’s an old Carpark converted into an art exhibition center/gastropub. After climbing four flights of bright pink stairs you’ll come out to the rooftop.
It’s a very spacious area overlooking Peckham and with stunning views of London. Go there between 5 and 8 pm if you want to experience the best sunset. Drinks are good and food is amazing!

Really neat space in an old car park. Everything about this bar is stimulating, from the hot-pink stairwell leading to the roof to the art set about the space. It is really neat and, pound-for-pound, a really great experience. Not only is the art cool, but the views of London at sunset are really incredible.

There is also good beer and food selection, and the bathrooms are clean despite being purpose-built for this pop-up.

My one pause about the place is that the art featured doesn't necessarily emphasize Peckham-based artists. I am not sure what I was expecting, and I don't know enough to say whether this is a bad thing. But as a visitor who knew the reputation of Peckham as a place with a vibrant local art scene AND a frontier of gentrification, I was surprised at the lack of local art featured at Frank's Cafe.

All-in-all, nice place to grab a drink and have a conversation while looking at thought-provoking art pieces.

Very cool place. Amazing views of the city in a very large open space. Pints around £5 a pop to not crazy money for London. During Covid be ready to que if your going at busy times, but the que moves pretty quick. Plenty space to keep a 2m distance. Enjoy!

Whoa those toilets. Quite an experience.

It is a really cool venue, but there is no excuse for only selling Maltsmith's IPA in 2022. Especially with so many really great local breweries.

View is stunning, vada pav was good though messier than ideal.

What a place! You can't miss the pink, as a friend said while giving directions. Go early for a nice view, enjoy the drinks and the eco-toilet! It's a little strange to feel this gentrified in the neighbourhood, so expect a lot of contrast between here and the journey there. Still, a nice spot for a drink. The banker types only come later so, another reason to go early!

This used to be a good bar but gone down hill drastically in recent years! Ordered wings and chips. Chips were inedible. Seemed like they were reheated. Five wings at a tenner. Rip off. Please improve next summer!

The chic rooftop bar and brunch spot has decent food and nice vibes, who could have known? As long as the weather's nice, it's well worth grabbing a bite up here on a quiet day.
