Very good Soho Nicholson's pub on the corner of Bateman Street and Frith Street. Five cask beers - and one cider - on handpump when I last visited. Lots of covered standing room outside. The Dog and Duck has been identified by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA}) as having a nationally important historic pub interior. It has some great advertising mirrors and lovely tile work. Very busy when we visited but quick service made it manageable.

Very small pub. Drink downstairs, eat upstairs. The food was good. Beer was cold. Very quaint.

Odd but interesting little pub, a step back to in decoration to a Victorian era. Adorned to a wall some details consuming Orwell whom enjoyed a drink here. Pleasant enough staff, reasonably busy but managed to grab a table late on a Friday which wasn't bad going. Few decent bars on tap and a good place for people watching. Will be back.

Pretty cool traditional pub. It was a bit sticky and the tables were not cleared. Reasonable prices

Great small Victorian pub. Interior is beautiful. May struggle to get a table but, if you do, it’s a beautiful place for a pint

Absolute gem in Soho. We stumble across it whilst looking for a quick drink and a bite to eat before going to the Theatre. It was still relatively early, the guy that was in the process of opening up was an absolute legend! Invited us in despite not quite being open, sorted us with some drinks straight up. We mentioned that we were looking for a bit to eat. He rang the chef downstairs and basically ushered the kitchen to start cooking! The food was to a very reasonable standard. And the general asthetics inside were lovely. Very cosy place to sit and enjoy a drink. With some historic attachments also. Very impressed with the service provided. Highly recommend. Can't wait to visit again.

If you want to experience a genuine nineteenth century pub in the heart of soho this is the real thing! Pressed metal ceilings, original glazed tiles and a chandelier - brilliant atmosphere in cozy drinking haunt of famous writers

I have so many fond memories of the dog from back in the day when it was a proper ad-man pub. Those days are over so the pub has changed with the times. But in a really lovely way. It almost looks the same. It's certainly as friendly. And the beers are just as good. Still one of London's best pubs.

Great old classic London pub in the heart of Soho

Came here on a rainy Sunday afternoon and sat with friends for a few hours - great place to hill, rest your feet, and enjoy a good meal surrounded by really cool decor!

Location, ambience, food, beer and service were all fantastic! Wad looking for a pub vibe and sitting upstairs was a very cute upscale pub with VEGAN options!! Our server was absolutely wonderful as well.

🚇 Tottenham Court Road 🍺 £6.05 Amstel ❤️ Great things come in small packages. . The Dog & Duck is nestled on the corner of Bateman Street and Frith Street in the heart of Soho. The nearest tube is Tottenham Court Road. . This pub was built in 1897 and has had some notable punters over the the years. Painter John Constable and writer George Orwell have both frequented this establishment. . This is a tiny pub that really packs a punch. The decor here is outstanding, this pub oozes all things Victoriana. The Victorian tiles are simply stunning and can be seen all around the walls. The etched mirrors are beautifully detailed and give the bar area a sense of space. The servery is clad in mahogany panels and across the ceiling are brass chandeliers to complete the look and feel of this traditional boozer. Upstairs is a dining room for those in need of sustenance. Gents, if you need to spend a penny be sure to bring your Bear Grylls game, the stairs to the toilet are very steep. . The beer choice here was good, this pub is Cask Marque accredited and has five real ales to choose from. I opted for a pint of Amstel, my pint was enjoyable and price point was good considering the area. There is a hearty pub grub menu on offer, Fish & Chips costs £15.50. . There was a cracking atmosphere in this @nicholsonspubs , I arrived around 4pm on a Tuesday and the pub was packed with a couple of regulars, opportunist passers by plus those imbibing outside. The service was also good and efficient. . This was my first visit to the @dogandduck_soho18 and I absolutely loved it. The decor here is simply marvellous and I found myself gazing around taking it all in. The beer and food were on point and you won’t be taken to the cleaners. If you are going for a wander around Soho, put this place on your must visit list. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 07.02.23

Tiny pub...thank goodness for the path (sidewalk) outside although i did not go up stairs. Good selection of beer. Mine was great. Fast and friendly and unbeleivably well licated

Great service, lovely dining area, like that it has its own bar so feels like part of the pub. Food was really tasty we had sharing plates. The beef loaded chips were delicious! We had a drink in the main bar area afterwards too

One of the best traditional pubs! Nice food and a lot of drinks. Prices are fair. I like it a lot. Not to forget, try the Black Angus pie! 🥧 It is superb!

Historic pub, good food and service; the walls tell the story.

Very good restaurant which is still quite small with only about fifteen chairs. It is better to book your table in advance but personally luck allowed us to find a table of 5 free on a thursday evening. I highly recommend the "STEAK & NICHOLSON'S PALE ALE PIE". It could also be that the atmosphere is noisy as the bar downstairs is a source of a lot of noise.

OMG! Great place. Food was excellent! Service was A+. Was our first pub to visit in London and everything was so great that we expected the same from other pubs. Which not necessarily occurred. If you are in London, don't miss it!

What a find! Quiet small room upstairs of the pub. We had a lovely view out a bay window. We ordered scotch eggs, chicken mushroom pie, and short rib and brisket pie. All was so tasty! Kind and efficient waiter. Would definitely eat here again.

This is a wonderful pub, full of character and very cosy. I ate upstairs in the small dining room where there is also a bar. I'll definitely drink here again.

Having only one day in London, I wanted a pub experience. This place was perfect! The food, beers, and atmosphere were excellent! My friend and I both got the fish and chips (cliche, I know), but it was so delightful. Couldn't have asked for anything better on a rainy London afternoon. Pop on by!

Great service. Decent food except my son ordered a burger which was so laden with mayo that it was inedible.

Great atmosphere with beautiful girl at bar! Wide choice of beers. Recommend for stopping by for a pint! Cosy place with great vibe.

Traditional English pub. Of the beer selection the cask ales are the most interesting. The rest is fairly standard. Interiors of the pub are really nice, Victorian style. It’s a quite small room so not too easy to find a spot to sit.

Some really good food and cold beer. I had a cheese burger and missus had fish and chips. Both dishes were worth the money

Brillant choice of Gins Staff are really nice. Very busy but managed to get a table inside. Really worth a Visit

Lovely little pub and perfect for my needs I.e. Close to a theatre I was going to. Food was very good especially the chips; perfection. Only negative comment is to agree with a previous post and get your Chef to ease off on the mayo! Still OTT for me and made the burger sloppier than it deserved. Other than that; good stuff! 👍

I went there with a friend of mine on a Tuesday evening. A lovely welcome! Great service and good food. Anna the waitress was brilliant and could not have offered better service - a great pub with a great atmosphere!!!

Noisy London pub. Good beer and atmosphere. Interesting history in there too.

Jackposts in the men's room a bit concerning as were the lack of Covid protocols

If you need a family friendly bar in Soho, go here 👶🏻

Not very big but a wonderful historic tiled interior and well kept cask ales, lovely pub

Small drinking area downstairs and bigger dining room upstairs. Nice, old schools decor inside, with big framed mirrors on the walls. Apparently George Orwell was liked to drink here.

Nice pub wuth good beer selection and tasty snacks.

Had a super tasty steak pie and the service was also very nice. I can only recommend it.

A great traditional British pub. There is a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. A great place to socialise with friends.

Maybe 1 star is a bit harsh, but I was served an ale which was past its best - it tasted like a sour vinegar - not what that Vocation ale should be tasting of. I had one sip and immediately alerted the staff, they only offered me another ale (rather than asking, "what else would you like instead"). None of the other ales appealed to me, so I was thinking I'd play it safe and have a cider from the keg taps. But that seemed to be a problem, and not a drink I was allowed to have. I couldn't be bothered to argue (it was very loud in the pub), so as a compromise I said, could I have half a pint of cider? They gave me the cider, but still charged (my friend who was buying the round) for the pint of ale. That doesn't seem very fair does it? The staff seemed to be lacking in decent communication skills and never apologised for the beer being off. They also didn't remove the pump clip. If I wasn't with friends who had already gotten their drinks, then I'd have walked out and found another pub. If a beer is off, then offer any other pint as a replacement. Or a refund.

This pub is in the heart of London, with great atmosphere and wonderful staff it’s the perfect place to have a drink. The building looks amazing.

Classic pub in London. You will get what you expect, nothing more, nothing less. Historic location, old pub, beautiful decor, good cold beers, friendly staffs, and clean loos. The price is normal for London price. Indoor area is rather tiny, but they have a restaurant on the second floor.

We walked into this spot and it satisfied us on a very busy Soho Saturday night. There were a few beers I have would loved trying but they were out. It was a pleasant experience.

Love everything about this pub. Great atmosphere, wonderful staff, pulled pints, super nice pub food and what a lovely interior. Will be back!

Lovely little English pub with excellent service and brilliant food. The waitress Bernie, managed the whole dining area on her own and appeared to be a favourite with all of the customers. I would definitely recommend and will absolutely return!

Nice dog friendly pub in central London. The stake and ale pie was delicious. Only complaint was the space on the table (felt very cramped downstairs).

Beautiful, traditional pub serving real cask ales, keg beers, wines and spirits. Small, but perfectly formed.

Very typical Soho Victorian pub, small, great decor, good service. Upstairs is the dining room which I didn't try but heard the barmaid say they were full that evening. Worth a pint if your thirsty in Soho.

Under the current situation, still a great place for a pre Ronnie Scott's drink. Staff very efficient

From the outside this looks like a standard pub that doesn't have much character. This is especially evident on a Friday and Saturday night when it is full of outside drinkers, get inside when it's quiet though and it is easily one of Soho's most atmospheric boozers. A regular of George Orwell's (and Madonna!) It's worth a stop.

Rhubarb Gin. Great Pub.

Great beer and friendly service.

Famous and nice pub in Soho

Fantastic pub.

Reasonably priced, tasty food, great service! One of the oldest pubs in London, with lots of history.

A small pub with a great big heart. The staff are so friendly and give such great service whilst their beer and ale selection is probably the best in Soho!

Just what I needed after a long walk around London, to stumble upon this venue. Absolute excellent service from happy engaging staff. Would be a pleasure to return here in the future. Maybe next time I'll skip the walk and save the aches and pains when I get up from the stool..

Great little pub. Popped in for a quick pint and G&T. Staff are friendly, warm and welcoming. The bar snacks 3 for £12 if you're feeling a little peckish. Would definitely recommend as a pitstop.

(Translated by Google) Good fish & chips. Nice location. Good service. Fair prices (Original) Gute fish & Chips. Nette Location. Guter Service. Faire Preise

Incredible service for a private event!!

Great pub!

This is a great little pub in the heart of Soho, I always gravitate to this place whenever I visit London. A real bustling little boozer, with patrons spilling out onto the street. Good beer, friendly staff, and make sure you read the history on the wall outside.

Don't remember that I've been here. Google says I have been here last night. Must have been good. All I can say is that it was a good pub crawling night with the boys!!

Great atmosphere and good service at the table.

Our group loved everything we ate and drank at Dog & Duck. We loved the atmosphere as well. The service was fantastic and friendly. Thank you so much! We will return the next time we visit London!

Small pub with excellent real ale and great staff. Also a very good menu. Will call again.

Traditional pub, also great dinner. Upstairs it is quiet small and not a lot of room. Personnel very friendly. I recommend the deserts.

I arrived in London at midday on the Eurostar from Belgium. 1.5 hours later I saw a sign pointing down a little street to the Dog and Duck. As a Kiwi I’m hopeless where English beer is concerned. Helpful staff immediately gave me a chance to taste several beers. I’m impressed with the staff and surroundings. Good job.

Felt quite cramped not much atmosphere and very expensive... drinks were nice!

Best boozer in Leeds, especially with the live music. Check out Purple Jimi there.

The food was lovely, reasonable prices and absolutely great service - Bernie went an extra mile, always with a smile and kindness!

Great food and cider!

Lovely small corner pub full of character with a tiny restaurant upstairs. Despite not having quite a few menu items such as chicken tikka masala - ‘no deliveries’ - we managed to find some tasty items including excellent potato and leek soup. Very nice waitress upstairs; in fact, all staff were warm-hearted and pleasant. Will defo return.

Decent little find. Good food too!

Really great pub with the great selections of beers and really staff!

Great pub!

The trouble with pubs in Soho is that most of them serve Sam Smith beer, which is usually disappointing. Aside from the choice of beer (which is usually the main thing a pub has to offer...) it's a nice place, though. Even when it's rammed (e.g. Saturday night), you can still get served relatively easily, and the pavement has plenty of room for you to stand. There's even a big awning to protect you from rain. tl;dr: Beer not good, but everything else good, even during peak times.

Old school pub in Soho, feels like proper 1894. It can get jam packed on Friday evenings. If you want something nicer than a Peroni, they've got some more interesting beers, both cask and keg.

(Translated by Google) Very good wine, recommended to spend an afternoon or night of drinks. (Original) Muy buen vino, recomendable para pasar una tarde o noche de copas.

Nice pub, good ambience

Very small.but friendly enough

(Translated by Google) Very delicious lobster sandwich ♪ The chips source is also great. (Original) 大変美味しいロブスターサンドイッチ♪ チップスのソースも最高。

Nice small establishment, good food, good view.

Lovely pies and really enjoyable service.

Outstanding.

Great pub.

Well situated busy Froth Street pub with upstairs dining

(Translated by Google) Very good hamburger and very good reception. An unusual place full of charm. (Original) Tres bon hamburger et très bon accueil. Un lieu atypique et plein de charme.

Just a perfect restaurant : i took a fish n chips and it was ABSOLUTELY delicious ! You can see the picture.

Excellent choice of ales

I booked a table for lunch today and I'm so glad I did. This charming little pub was clearly one to visit and seemed popular with others. The food was lovely, fresh and piping hot. The service was excellent and we loved the atmosphere. Our server was a lovely, funny Irish lady who had an excellent rapport with everyone in the restaurant and brightened our day! Cannot recommend this little gem enough!! It's definitely one to visit.
