The Standard in Central Bedfordshire

Popular and lively venue. Good atmosphere

Was empty when we arrived its a large pup with roof terrace has a great atmosphere got busy music eas good.

I remember having a meal here with my family and friends about 1 or 2 years ago. The food that I ordered were really nice although I was really picky so I didn't get much but if I went there again now, then I would probably really like their food more than I had before.

A quite spacious pub/bar rights on High street, Bedford town centre. You won't miss it, just look for the real human size statues of Laurel and Hardy. Beautifully decorated inside & outdoor upstairs. There's movie night every Monday night, and live music Wednesday or Friday with fantastic talented singers & musicians. The food, pizza is delicious, while the price is quite cheap.Fried chicken is delicious too!

Very pleasant atmosphere, listening to good quality jazz played by local people. Good customer service at bar. No complaints!

Really nice place. I was there few times and everything is all right. When I was there last time it was karaoke and there was really good fun. My friends and I was really happy that we can take part of this entertainment. Also they have a nice terrace upstairs. Staff is polite and talkative and they encourage to be a part of performance.

I had a fantastic night out in the Standard with work colleagues. There was 12 of us in total and we all enjoyed it. The manager Gary was really lovely and made sure we were all ok. Gary really looks after his customers. I would certainly recommend a visit here,the music was good and there was no trouble. The doormen were all friendly. It was a great atmosphere and I will be back. Thank you to the doorman Michael and the Manager Gary, hope that was his name but I was a little worse for wear.Thank youLisa

Very professional door staff, always polite on entering and leaving and open the door for you. Needs redecoration. Smacks of a dark student bar vibe. A better dance floor area and DJ stand needs to be near the dance floor, DJ was good, but unfortunately not made a feature of as he should be. Needs better pub/club combo lighting in general. Move tables from around the bar as people block the area so getting to and away from the bar is almost to the point of giving up. The potential for spilling drinks and causing a drunken incident is high. The conveniences are inconveniently up a load of stairs not good for staggering drunken clientele to negotiate without falling and causing serious injury, especially for those in high heels. The top floor smoking open area could benefit from a bit of effort and made more of generally. All areas could be lots better. Has potential to be a great high street main venue.

The George Street rag time jazz band. Perfect foot tapping hip swinging end to the weekend.

Only lived in Bedford for 3 months and this is one of the first pubs i went to. Fantastic place with friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Thou went there yesterday (Tuesday 6th Nov.) And it was shut. Shame as i wanted to watch the football as have not been there to see what the atmosphere is like...however take nothing away from a great great pub.
