STK Rooftop - Stratford

STK Rooftop arrived in Stratford as the third UK opening of a hospitality brand built around what it calls 'Vibe Dining' — a format that runs a serious steakhouse during the day and transitions into a lounge with DJs and live entertainment as the evening develops. It sits on the 18th floor of The Gantry Hotel, looking out across the Olympic Park and the London skyline from a pair of rooftop terraces that face different directions.

The height matters. Stratford's skyline has transformed over the past decade, and STK Rooftop gives you a vantage point across that change — east to the park, west toward the City cluster. It's a perspective that ground-level Stratford venues can't offer, and the floor-to-ceiling windows mean the views persist even when weather pushes guests indoors.

Steakhouse by Day, Lounge by Night

The Vibe Dining concept gives STK a built-in transition that event planners can lean on. A corporate dinner that starts with cocktails and signature cuts — filet, Wagyu, tomahawk — shifts naturally into a lounge atmosphere without a venue change or an awkward gap while someone rearranges furniture. The DJs aren't an add-on; they're part of the operating model.

For celebrations — birthdays, engagement parties, weddings with a contemporary feel — the format provides energy and structure without the formality of a traditional banquet venue. The two terraces extend the space outdoors, and the two bars keep drinks flowing without queues slowing the evening down.

The Gantry Hotel and East London Access

Hotel integration is the practical advantage that separates STK from standalone rooftop bars. Bedrooms in the same building simplify logistics for corporate events with overnight requirements and celebrations where guests are travelling from outside London. Stratford's transport hub — Elizabeth Line, Central, Jubilee, DLR, Overground, and National Rail — makes this one of East London's most connected event locations, accessible from most parts of the city within 30–40 minutes.
