The Bear

A pub serving food with Sky TV and a garden in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Situated next to the Swan's Nest Hotel, The Bear offers a beautiful riverside location with stunning views across the Avon and is just a five minute stroll from the Royal Shakespeare Company. This historic inn started out as The Bear when it first opened in 1662. Following an extensive refurbishment, The Bear has once again become the bustling, riverside tavern it once was serving a great selection of cask ales.
The atmosphere at the Bear is friendly and informal. The stylish interior has a warm, cosy feel with beautifully restored wood panelling, two central fires and a gorgeous pewter bar top. There is also an outside seating area for you to enjoy your drink and watch the world go by! We hope to see you soon.

Drink % Brewery
Bunny Hop 3.5 Purity Brewing Company Ltd

Bunny Hop has been expertly brewed to deliver a clean, dry mouthfeel with no compromise on hop aroma and a full, hoppy flavour profile.

Tasting Notes: Bunny Hop has a pronounced bitterness, similar to a pilsner and aromas of fresh grass, pine and grapefruit, thanks to the generous use of Chinook, and a dash of El Dorado offering apricot and peach notes.

Butty Bach 4.5 Wye Valley Brewery Ltd

‘Butty Bach’ is Welsh term meaning ‘little friend’. This full-bodied, smooth and satisfying premium ale is burnished gold in colour, and certainly has made a few friends in its time

Tasting Notes: We brew it using Maris Otter and Crystal malts, flaked barley, malted wheat, and locally grown Fuggles, Goldings and Bramling Cross hops. With such fine ingredients, no wonder it remains a firm favourite among our followers.

Old Hooky 4.6 Hook Norton Brewery Co. Ltd

A beautifully balanced beer, fruity by nature, with a well-rounded body and the suggestive echo of Crystal Malt.

Tasting Notes: Smell: Malty, fruity Taste: Fruity, sweet, moreish

Saddle Black 5.1 Purity Brewing Company Ltd

Saddleblack is a gnarly black beer using chinook and cascade hops to help give a full smoky and citrus aroma.
