  • Neighbourhood gem

  • Lively
Smith’s Bar & Grill is nestled in Paddington, Central London, it is the first place you see when you walk under the bypass behind Paddington Station.

Known for its high ceilings and almost full-length windows, the natural light in Smith’s is just as nourishing and wholesome as the comfortable furnishings and exquisite selection of food and drink that we serve.

The venue is split into the areas:
• Main Restaurant
• Main Bar & Lounge Area
• Outdoor Terrace Canal-side


Smith’s is an ideal venue for weddings, on-location filming, major launch events, and multi-stage music and entertainment events.
The whole venue can comfortably accommodate up to 200 people for a sit-down dinner and up to 400 standing. Its proximity to Paddington Station (50 yards from the Hammersmith & City Underground entrance) makes it quick to get to for those coming from out of town.

    This restaurant was one of our favourites in the town and was very a reasonable price. The burgers were amazing, the chips were really good and the staff very helpful. Our waiter even suggested a beautiful red wine that matched well with our food and he was quite right! Thoroughly recommend a visit.

    Booked up this beautiful little spot walking round on our first day in London - we came for breakfast this morning and the food service ambience and music is just perfect! We enjoyed it so much we came back for lunch, we had the tasting menu and it was great, every single dish was incredible, and will be back probably most days throughout our London visit! Highly recommend - all the staff so friendly and the service is quick and great quality food & drink.

    Funky beautiful restaurant serving fab steaks. You need to go with a good appetite. We shared a calamari as a starter, which was good plenty of sauce. We both had beef rib eyes which were delicious. One portion of chips would easily have fed three. Good staff too. Highly Recommended!

    Brilliant Place. Very accommodating - we had some kids in our group ;) We booked in as we heard the food its ridiculously good . Staff were super friendly. Decently priced drinks that tasted as expected, very well made. The risotto seafood was incredible, but I think the pork ribs were the top choice. If you are passing by, stop in, our experience was great! We would visit again in a heartbeat!
