Bottled cocktail brand Black Lines has returned to London's South Bank for the summer season, taking over the taps at the National Theatre's iconic River Bar. Running until late September, the alfresco pop-up serves a variety of ice-cold cocktails on tap.

The menu features popular favourites such as spicy margaritas, palomas, and negronis, alongside seasonal refreshments like spritzes. Situated right next to KERB's street-food market, the riverside terrace provides an ideal setting for after-work socialising and sunset gatherings, and will also host special events like an open-air Summer Solstice party with live DJs. There's even a happy hour on Thursdays and Fridays between 4pm and 6pm. 

Operating hours vary throughout the week, with the bar opening from midday Wednesday through Sunday and from 4pm on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you're in the area and looking to take full advantage of the sun with a nice drink in hand, you know what to do.
