Urban Pubs and Bars

Urban Pubs and Bars Set up in 2014, Urban Pubs and Bars is a growing London based company passionate about food and drink. Linktr.ee/urbanpubsandbars

Urban Pubs and Bars was formed by ex Realpubs founders Nick Pring and Malcolm Heap in 2014. UPB has ambitious growth plans having acquired its first 5 sites in its first 10 months of operating. The formula remains largely the same - recruiting exceptional operators who are passionate about food and drink and acquiring the best sites in a given area. Success is then finding the right offer and investing in the right areas. Investing time and attention into the team that operate those sites is a major part of that investment. UPB plans to replicate the family culture that it created within Realpubs, harnessing the skills and expertise of its General Managers to evolve and expand the business. With the right team on board we anticipate a rapid expansion programme, exploring new areas and new styles of operating format to meet the growing London market.

Meet The Fire Station 🚒

Right on Waterloo Road, a stone's throw from the station, this is a Grade II listed fire station that's been brought back to life as your new local. Look up and you'll still see "LCC Fire Brigade Station A.D. 1910" above the old engine doors. Inside, you're drinking and dining right where the engines once stood. 🍻

The kitchen serves fresh, seasonal food, from a quick lunch to a proper dinner, and the bar is stocked for everything from after-work pints to pre-theatre cocktails. Big match? The screens are on for Premier League days. ⚽

And when there's a reason to celebrate, from birthdays and work drinks to team socials, there's plenty of space to make it your own. 🥂

One week in, and Waterloo has well and truly shown up. If you haven't been yet, consider this your sign.

This is Urban Pubs & Bars doing what we do best.

On the corner of Stamford Street, Fountain & Ink is a proper local in the heart of the South Bank 🍻

It's a modern British pub with a seasonal menu that changes as often as the shows next door: small plates, seasonal specials and hearty gastropub classics, plus plenty of craft b**r on draught and more in the fridge.

On Sundays it's all about the roast: beef sirloin, Suffolk chicken crown, or mushroom and lentil wellington, so there's something for everyone.

Whether you're heading out after a show at the National Theatre, catching a film at the BFI or meeting up after work, Fountain & Ink is always a good idea.

📍 Fountain & Ink, Southwark

Just a little reminder 👀

Downstairs: perfectly poured pints and something crisp for after work. Upstairs: our hidden cocktail bar, serving bold, carefully crafted drinks in a speakeasy setting 🍸

Two floors, one Fitzrovia favourite. Which are you heading for? 👇

On the best stretch of Northcote Road, The Red Setter is Battersea's front room 🍻

Warm, welcoming and never exclusive, it's the pub that suits whatever the day calls for. A coffee and a brunch. A long catch-up. A cocktail that turns into an evening.

The kitchen does the best of British properly, from hearty brunches to Sunday roasts with all the trimmings, and behind the bar it's cocktails made with care rather than speed.

Whether you're local or just passing through, The Red Setter is always a good idea.

A Fleet Street Gin Palace with over 90 gins behind the bar 🍸
 
Punch Tavern was named in the 1840s after the magazine whose writers drank here, and it’s still one of the most beautiful pubs in London. Etched glass, high ceilings and a room that’s seen nearly two centuries of Fleet Street.
 
True to its Gin Palace roots, we pour over 90 gins, alongside rotating London cask ale and a draught range from across the continent. In the kitchen, it’s pub classics done properly: homemade pies, proper fish and chips, and the humble Scotch egg.
 
Whether it’s a pint after work, a long lunch in the dining room, or a private event in our upstairs space, Punch is always worth the walk down Fleet Street.

On the corner in East Finchley, The Bald Faced Stag has everything a proper local should 🍻

The Stag brings together old and new: a dining room built for long lunches, seasonal British cooking, pub classics and a Sunday roast made with premium British meat.

And out the back, one of the best gardens in North London, with a mother tree standing proud in the middle of it and heaters that keep it open all year.

Whether you're settling in for a roast, watching the rugby with a burger, or just after your new local, the Stag is always a good idea.
