Our Story So Far
Born out of the 2020 lockdown (when a community needed a good local more than ever), LOCKDOWN Bar & Restaurant started life as a humble grocery hub for the neighbours of City Island. Fast forward, and we’ve grown into the go - to neighbourhood spot for great food, proper drinks, and good times.
Expect East London craft beers on tap, cocktails worth talking about, and a flavour packed menu that brings the comfort and the wow - from bold small plates to hearty mains like our legendary smashed burgers.
Food & Drink
Cold pints, great cocktails and food made for sharing. Worth staying for one more round.
Our menu is built for sharing, passing around and ordering "just one more" of.
Smashed burgers, sharing platters, crispy fries, onion rings, halloumi fries and our bestselling chicken tenders are all ready to get stuck into, best enjoyed alongside a fresh pint or your favourite cocktail.
Bring your appetite, your friends and we'll handle the rest.

MAKE IT YOURS

Whatever the occasion, we'll take care of the details so you can focus on enjoying the celebration.
Your social calendar, sorted
If there's an excuse for a good time, we're probably hosting it. Live music, craft beer festivals, street food events, quiz nights, karaoke, cocktail making and the biggest parties of the year all make regular appearances at Lockdown.
Some events fill the whole venue, some start with a handful of friends and end with half the neighbourhood joining in. Either way, they're always worth showing up for.
See what's coming up and grab your spot.
