The Bear, Paddington

Jezza says

This is one of the best Craft Beer Co pubs: there’s one long room with the smart and attractive bar to the right; and another smaller room downstairs by the cellar. There’s lovely art deco lighting. It’s a former bank and could well have been the second CBC location after Cask in Pimlico but early discussions 12 years ago didn’t work out. I’m glad they went back in for it more recently though as it’s a lovely venue with the usual excellent CBC range.
