What is it?
Heist Bank is Paddington’s unofficial clubhouse. Just a few steps from the canal at Paddington Basin, this laid-back spot mixes wood-fired pizza, craft beer and arcade-style fun all under one roof. It’s a bar, a restaurant, a games room and a social hangout, all rolled into one.
Where is it?
You’ll find it on North Wharf Road, a few minutes’ walk from Native Hyde Park and Native Paddington, ideal for a casual night out, a post-meeting pint or weekend plans with friends.
What you’ll find
First, the food: fresh, flavour-packed pizzas fired up in the wood oven, with toppings that lean into the creative. Crowd favourites include n’duja with fior di latte, sage and honey, or roasted potato and smoked garlic butter. Not in the mood for pizza? There are seasonal small plates and sides to round out the table.
Behind the bar, Heist Bank keeps things fresh with a rotating lineup of craft beers on tap from local brews to international finds plus wines, spritzes and classic cocktails. It’s the kind of place where no two visits are the same.
But what really makes Heist Bank stand out? The vibe. Inside you’ll find pool tables, board games, retro consoles and stacks of arcade fun. It’s built for good times, whether you’re catching up after work or staying out later than planned.
Expect an industrial-chic interior with exposed brick, bold murals and big tables made for sharing. It’s upbeat, friendly, and just the right amount of chaotic in the best way.
One-liner
Craft beer, wood-fired pizza and all the games Paddington’s playful side lives here.
Native’s tip
Start with the n’duja and honey pizza, grab a pint from the rotating taps, and challenge your mates to a few rounds on the pool table.
