About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    booked meal, for bottomless Sunday dinner, meant to last 90 mins but kitchen closed after 75 minutes. Starters were good but roasts were greasy and potatoes were very pale. Overall under seasoned and cold. Service was very patchy as we were on a table in the far corner of the restaurant. Eg. Ordered bottle of tap water which did not arrive for over 30 minutes by which time we had finished our meal. Also very restricted choice of drinks on the bottomless option. Only one cocktail

    Excellent food, good wine advice, friendly service! Reserve on time; this place is like an institute for the locals, and that status is well deserved.

    They were out of an item we ordered minutes after opening. Drinks were subpar and the bartender was upset we sent one back. Our steaks were ordered medium rare but came raw. The server argued with us about what medium rare meant. Overall a very disappointing experience

    Great option for a long lunch - took 2 hours for 2 courses. Food was great - tuna niçoise very good with fresh tuna. Service was very slow - only negative.
