Shakedown Bar & Restaurant - Tower Bridge
Shakedown Bar & Restaurant is the bar and restaurant of The Dixon, a landmark hotel at 4 Queen Elizabeth Street by Tower Bridge. It describes itself as an all-day drinking and dining venue, and the space sits in the original cell block of a former Magistrates' Court, with exposed brickwork, vaulted ceilings and industrial detailing.
The venue calls itself a cocktail bar, espresso bar and restaurant. The menu is rooted in cichetti, the Italian custom of small shared plates, and includes pizzettas, pasta and prosecco. Afternoon tea is served, with handmade sandwiches, scones with clotted cream and loose-leaf teas. Shakedown can also be hired exclusively or semi-exclusively, with a flexible open-plan layout. The name nods to the building's past as a courthouse, and the restaurant floor sits above the basement where 22 holding cells once stood.
