Great place in the centre of London. Great food. Good music

Very busy, popular pub, right in the tourist area. They have a great choice of real ales here and a decent menu (not tried the food myself, although it looks pretty good). This is what I would call a proper London pub. Well worth a visit.

The Bear and Staff is an amazing experience. I've passed it so many times but we wandered in after a theatre trip and the staff were amazingly friendly. Great atmosphere and not packed at all. Comfortable and easy to have a conversation without being drown out like some pubs you can go to. Really enjoyed the experience and will be back again for sure!

Quieter than I expected for a London pub next to Leicester Square on a Friday lunchtime. But there was a nice choice of beers and the Steak and Nicholson Pale Ale pie was lovely. Nicholsons pubs are the flavoured choice for London IMHO

Came for dinner during my girls trip to London. I ordered the tomato basil soup and the slow-cooked beef rib, and pulled brisket pie. Both were incredible!!! Paired amazing with a glass of the Rioja wine. My cousin ordered the fish and chips, cooked and seasoned well. My sister got the nachos which she enjoyed. 10/10 recommend. Andy was our wonderful server. So grateful for the good vibe and great food!

Nice places to have a drink. Nice ambience with history and average-clean toilets.

I've been coming here for many years. Having a multi-choice beverage menu and an outside seating area is a great advantage. The service staff are very cheerful and friendly. The location is very good. I can recommend everyone.

I ordered the Steak and Nichols Pale Ale pie, and it was tasty. The meat was well seasoned, and so were the veggies. Portion was just right for me. The 0nly reason why I took a star off the atmosphere is because you can smell the cigarette smoke from outside coming in due to the door being open. It made my eating uncomfortable. None the less, Place was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Charlie Chaplin dining room at the Bear and Staff where Charlie Chaplin used to come after performances at the Empire theater. The Steak and Nicholson’s pale ale pie was mouth watering delicious and you can see why it is award winning. The service was very friendly. Highly recommend.

The pub location, atmosphere and staff are excellent. Good choice of beer on tap. There’s a small seating area inside that has a lot of character and the patio outside is excellent. We had the nachos (which were really good) and burgers. Would have given a higher rating on food if it wasn’t for the stale and hard buns that came with our burgers. I will try it again the next time I’m in London.
