The Lockdown Room set to expand in east London at Wood Wharf.
Born in the pandemic at London City Island, the brand is set to open a branch at Wood Wharf offering craft beer, smash burgers and live musicThe Lockdown Room at London City Island – image by The Lockdown RoomA second branch of The Lockdown Room – a concept born out of the pandemic in 2021 at London City Island – is set to launch at Wood Wharf in November.
Opening at the junction of West Lane and Brannan Street, the corner bar aims to become a new space for the community.
"It will have London craft beers on tap, a really good cocktail menu, organic wines and our signature smash burgers – a menu we launched at the original site about nine months ago," said founder Daniel Bull.
"But we'll also be doing salads because it's important to offer healthy options.
"We don't want to be seen as just a craft beer joint that serves dirty burgers.
"We'll also be offering fantastic sharing platters – it will be a casual place where you can go for a drink and a bite to eat with a group of friends.
"There will also be regular live music and we've always been big on events – bringing the community into what we're doing is very important and we'd love to bring things like our craft beer festival to the neighbourhood.
"We've really taken what we have done at London City Island up to the next level for the new site.
"It will have a premium feel to it – very warm, with high-end finishes and bespoke seating.
"But it should still feel welcoming to the community."
"We're hoping to offer something different to the hustle and bustle," he said.
"I think people will travel to you if you have a good product and then, once they've been down, hopefully they'll be impressed and come back as regulars.
"What we want to create is the kind of bar where the bartender knows your drink and it's possible to find a quiet corner or chat with familiar faces.
"We'll also be opposite the student housing, which has now been approved so that should add a different dynamic to things too.
"The idea is that The Lockdown Room should be somewhere you just want to go at the weekend or in the evenings – that's the goal."
While the weather is likely to be cooler when the venue opens, Daniel also plans to have outdoor tables over the warmer months, further adding to the Wood Wharf street scene.
The Lockdown Room is expected to open in November at the corner of Brannan Street and West Lane in Wood Wharf.
