The Bear & Staff radiates a historic charm right in the kinetic heart of Leicester Square. Located conveniently near Theatreland, it serves as both a local watering hole and a delightful dining experience. The pub is known for its dedicated Charlie Chaplin Dining Room, located upstairs, which offers a quieter setting for savoring quintessentially British fare away from the bustling ground floor. Its menu boasts a selection of delectable pies, with the fish pie and lamb pie gaining particular acclaim. For those with dietary preferences, the restaurant provides vegan alternatives, including a well-considered vegetarian pie. The beverage menu complements the food nicely, featuring an impressive range of beers and inventive cocktails perfect for any theatre afterglow. With amiable staff—among them the notable Thor and Kelsey—who are attentive despite the often frenetic pace, The Bear & Staff offers an inviting respite amidst the clamor of central London.
