The Bear Bar Description

In an age where seemingly every pub is trying to become a bar, here we find a bar that does a very good job of being a pub. If you're looking for a place to drink that's a bit different from your local, try The Bear. The décor is sophisticated, laid back, bang up to the minute and shows what lame ducks so many Victorian pub-to-bar conversions are. Early in the evening the lighting goes down and the sounds turned up and the place fills with a mix of people from the businesses around. The younger lot head upstairs and the lower bar entertains an older crowd (must be the stairs). It's in a small square just off Clerkenwell Road with seating on the pavement area making The Bear a brilliant venue to enjoy refreshments in the open air.

The following customer reviews are not endorsed by Fluid London and are simply those of users who wish to publish their independent experiences of The Bear Bar.

“The Bear Bar has recently been taken over by new management. The bar is cosy yet sophisticated. The drink choices are excellent, loads of great lagers on tap and they pour a mean Guinness! The evenings are seeing the return of the local business workers who were apparently devestated when the venue closed down. The food is great value for money - I recommend the steak burger. The staff here are also top notch. Friendly and efficient, what more could you ask for?!”
