BloomsYard, White City, W12

Visited 01/09/26. Visited previously as Dear Grace on 03/03/25. No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, Camden Pale & Hells, San Miguel, their own branded Bloom Brew lager, Modelo, Stella, the Campfire Hazy Pale Ale from Two Tribes, Jubel Peach lager and Hawkstone cider. Large cafe bar rebranded but not much different on my visit to the previous incarnation. Part of a chain but not aware of any others that portray as much as a bar as this one, seem to be more daytime coffee venues or pure coffee outlets. Glass fronted on two sides with seating a mix of tall tables and benches serving tables outside. Inside it is stone tiled with the large bar counter providing service on two sides, the longer side facing one side of the glass frontage and the other side facing a wall opposite covered in uniform framed prints. A pair of sofas and comfy armchairs serving a low table to the immediate left of the entrance then tall stools and tables in the glass frontage facing the bar counter. To the right of the entrance is an area with a long, tall table served by tall stools and a leather banquette along the right-hand wall serving a few regular tables. A fabric patterned banquette along the rear wall and around the rear corner serving regular tables and some back-to-back sofas down the middle of this area opposite the smaller length of the bar counter. There are a few tall tables with tall stools beyond that end of the bar counter by the toilets. No obvious screens and an easy listening soundtrack.

Visited 03/03/25 No cask here. Large keg offering but generally unexciting and comprising Camden Hells, Camden Pale Ale, Camden Eazy IPA, Leffe Blonde, Koppaberg cider, Jubel Peach, San Miguel, Mahou, Guinness, Lucky Saint, Stella. This is another large glass box bar with fully large, tiled floor in the new developments around here. It is sort of U shaped with the metal topped bar counter following the shape of the glass fronted venue. The far limb from the entrance has a fabric banquette along the wall and a series of regular tables along its length with a small continuation in the far corner from the entrance. There is also a row of regular tables between this area and the bar counter occupied by young drinkers - yes young people do drink! There is stool seating along the front and main face of the bar counter and regular tables and chairs along the front windows. Serves a purpose, but not one for me.
