Bird & Bear

You'll find Bird & Bear tucked away on Whitehall Crescent, in that sweet spot between the city centre and the West End where things get a bit quieter but somehow better. This is the kind of place where folk aren't ordering whatever's on a laminated happy hour menu—they're after something made with care, and the bar staff take that seriously. The atmosphere strikes that balance between relaxed enough that you can actually chat, but with enough attention to detail that you feel like you're somewhere that gives a damn.
