WHy local bear?
TRY OUR FOOD !
Because here, nothing is set in stone.
Burgers evolve,
beers rotate,
the menu shifts with the seasons and whims.
We cook all our food in house, taste everything,
and only serve what we'd eat ourselves.
A living place, sustained over time—
not a trendy concept built for fashion.
WHAT SHOUD WE DRINK?
The Local Bear touch…
A vibrant selection of local craft beers on tap and in bottles.
House cocktails with artisanal spirits, carefully chosen French wines from independent vintners.
Plus there are plenty of non-alcoholic options too: artisanal lemonades, 0% beers & ciders, mocktails, plus our Colombes-roasted organic coffee.

starting with the "Les Pâtes de l’Ours" project at Bear Cave.

She inspires our daily specials,
homemade desserts,
generous composed salads,
and all those little sauces and details
that make Local Bear special.

AT YOUR SERVICE
FRONT OF HOUSE
Me: Cameron McQuale
Founder of Local Bear, behind the bar and in the dining room since 2016.
Arriving in Colombes in 2014, I quickly noticed the lack of craft beers and good burgers.
So I launched this little restaurant with zero management experience
and beginner-level French.
The adventure continues today.
I'm still here to share great beers,
new recipes,
original cocktails…
and sometimes really bad jokes…
See you soon!
Head Waiter: Ghiles Amrane
Ghiles joined in 2023 as extra staff,
mainly for evenings.
He became full-time in 2025,
now managing the front-of-house team.
Always smiling with an eye for detail,
he brings warmth, calm, and good vibes to our evenings.

MORE THAN A feeling…
Local Bear is a living space.
People come to eat, drink, chat, listen to music, reconnect with neighbors, friends, family.
Concerts, evenings, privatizations: the venue adapts to your moments.
Local Bear regularly hosts local musicians, game nights in collaboration with neighborhood shops, and other events that defy categories.
You come for the food, you return for the vibe.
