AboutAbout The Refinery
The Refinery Bankside is an industrial-chic bar and restaurant located in the landmark Blue Fin Building on Southwark Street, just behind Tate Modern in the heart of London's Bankside neighbourhood. This Drake & Morgan venue offers an open-plan space with retro touches, vintage tableware, and a sophisticated atmosphere that works beautifully from breakfast through to late evening drinks.
The all-day menu spans breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with a focus on seasonal ingredients and British favourites. The bar serves up excellent cocktails, craft beers, and an impressive wine list, whilst the outdoor terrace with coloured deckchairs and blankets becomes particularly popular during summer months. The venue's versatility makes it equally suitable for morning meetings, relaxed lunches, or evening celebrations.
Dogs are welcome throughout The Refinery Bankside, making it an excellent choice for those looking to dine out with their four-legged companions. The spacious layout and outdoor seating area provide plenty of room for dogs to settle comfortably whilst you enjoy quality food and drinks in this stylish Southbank destination.
