  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • 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.

    We Booked this Smith's bar & grill, we are staying at hotel close by in Paddington, 10 Min walk to the bar, around lunch time, it did get busy ,they have a very friendly staff helping you out throughout your meal and never to busy for a quick chat, so well worth a visit. The calamari and parmigiana aubergine are to die for, great atmosphere.

    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!

    Came across Smith's on opentable by pure chance. Great reviews and good looking menu. Glad we booked in. It is of the call in Paddington, worth the small walk. Fabulous for lunch at a great price. Absolutely no complaints.Best beef fillet in town. We will be back again for drinks next week. Excellent service from Maurizio and the young girl. Couldn't do enough for us. Such a friendly bunch of staff. Hope to see you all again some day.

    We just booked in for a quick drink and a bite and ended up staying all evening! The food looked so good - all four meals were excellent especially the fish and chips and the baby chicken! Drinks were good and especially the quality of the wine. Also the service and attitude of staff were excellent! We’ll be going back!
