Sunset views, spritzes and live music by the water? Summer has officially arrived ☀️🍻🎶

Over the next few months we’ll be popping up down at Orchard Dock at Goodluck Hope for a series of live music nights as part of the Islander Festival, and we’re kicking things off tomorrow with the brilliant .

Our bar opens from 4pm in the hut for post-work pints, craft beer, spritzes and a bit of golden hour procrastination… then live music starts from 6pm with the O2 glowing across the water 🌅

One of those “we’ll just stay for one” kind of evenings. See you down there 👀

We can’t quite believe it… 6 years ago The Lockdown Bar opened its doors first as the Espresso Room Pantry back in 2020, and what a ride it’s been since.
From first dates and birthday blow-outs to midweek pints that turned into late nights, this place has always been about one thing: community.
So we’re throwing a proper celebration - and you’re all invited!!
🗓 Date: Saturday 14th March
⏰ Time: 6pm – Midnight
📍 The Lockdown Bar, London City Island
For one night only, we’re rewinding the clock with throwback prices from 2020 (yes, really 👀), bringing back those early Lockdown vibes with £5.50 pints, and filling the bar with live music to keep you dancing all evening.
This isn’t just an anniversary - it’s a thank you, to you the community

Please RSVP via link in bio

Great music and Familiar faces.
Let’s make it a big one.
See you at the bar. 🍻
