Characterful Clerkenwell pub with lively DJ nights and surprisingly good pizzas; great for groups and casual nights if you can handle the volume.
White Bear earns its A- grade through solid food quality anchored by standout pepperoni and garlic mushroom pizzas, paired with attentive service that handles groups well. Classic pub charm and fair pricing strengthen its appeal, though occasional crowding and late-night noise limit broader appeal—keeping it competitive with the area's better neighborhood restaurants rather than among the region's premier destinations.
One caveat: Music volume can be oppressively loud on DJ nights, pushing some to leave early
