Great pub, great service and great atmosphere. Visited about 1pm and although quiet, it was still fun. Drinks were a little pricey, though. We returned later and it was packed and the atmosphere was welcoming and good fun. Would definitely visit again.

Me and my partner really love this place, been a good handful of times now. It's a good size pub with more space upstairs for seating and chatting, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Great range of drinks and cocktails to boot as well the fab music and colourful lighting.

What a place! Had such an amazing night on Tuesday, cheeky little bit of Busy Lady Bingo with Sheila Simmonds too. I have not had so much fun for a long time! Absolutely perfect! The Team behind the bar and the security were brill, so welcoming! I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone who wants a great night out!

Could be a bit more keen on the price, the staff are mostly a good bunch. Cal & Talat are brilliant and always a great vibe when they're on. I'd say this probably is my "local" since it's a better crowd compared to other similar bars nearby. The toilets leave a little to be desired however.

We kept coming back to this place every night for a reason. The staff are very friendly, you get fast service, the people are fun and nice, you get music every night, and there's even space to dance. This has become a favorite pub of ours in London.

Came here on a busy Friday night. Staff were helpful, good music and lively crowd. Was served by Isla who was very helpful and friendly. My favourite bear bar in London !

I Love this Soho Pub! Always friendly with a good weekend crowd - I popped last Friday and found Ben Jammin on the decks - what a breath of fresh air and blast from the past - I remember him from Heaven years ago! Great music great vibes tasty men!

I was here last night and I have to say the bar staff were amazing. Really friendly service and nice atmosphere. We arrived late and one of them managed to find a bag for me to carry something home in. Really helpful - thank you guys!

It was - as I've got used to here, extremely LOUD early on a Saturday evening - making conversation (at a high volume) uncomfortable. The staff at the bar found it hard to hear me, even when I increased the pitch of my voice. Downstairs was still louder (and with the bass on the music reverberating through both floors, not surprising). Good/spicy Big Tom.

Just happened to wonder in here, great service nice and friendly atmosphere drinks nice and cold ..good music..if you want to sit that mite be a bit tricky..very busy but would definitely go here again.

Always nice to be back at this traditional English pub right in the heart of Soho. It offers less busy additional seating upstairs with more packed atmosphere on the ground floor. Service always friendly with great choice of beers on tap

Really good on a Monday evening. I was one of the only women in there and I didn't feel judged or like I wasn't welcome. Brilliant pub 🍻

Not a bad bar as such, but the dreadful music ruined it for us so we only stayed for one drink. Considering the average age of the clientele must be about 45, I don't really understand why they are playing music aimed at 20 year olds.

Amazing place to meet for a pint and chat, Christos was amazing and made a special pint!

We attend the theme nights regularly. Brilliant entertainment and atmosphere. Friendly, well run pub.

Our first time in this bar, the staff were fantastic & we had a brilliant afternoon in here. Friendly people as well. Would definitely return if we visit London again.

Went to 'Busy Lady Bingo '- it was absolutely brilliant! Sheila Simmonds is the very best 🌟 Ollie runs this beautiful pub and is so welcoming . Thoroughly recommend a visit.

Normally service in here is great but tonight Monday 4th Dec when the bar is only half full there is a female bartender who is utterly useless. Working very slowly, not noticing who is next at the bar and after waiting nearly 20 minutes to get served she was dismissive and rude and then intentionally served someone else before me who just arrived at the bar. I've been coming here for 15 years but would think again if I walked in and saw the same tall female behind the bar. Rude and terrible at her job. Sort out your staffing Stonegate.

Stayed in Soho on our 4 day trip, popped in here on first afternoon..staff are lovely, funny and friendly, went in a few times and staff recognised us... brilliant place to go ...music the best..met some lovely people...

I visit the Welly quite regularly and always enjoy my time there. The bar staff are very friendly and always a lovely crowd. My partner and I got married this week and decided to join a few friends in the Welly afterwards. On hearing about our special day, we were surprised by a complimentary bottle of bubbly by the bar staff. It was a lovely touch. Our thanks to the Welly for really adding to the memories of our special day.

Love this pub. First time we have been into this place. Very quiet when we first went in but they had just opened. Got very busy towards 5pm. Will revisit this pub next time I'm in London but will go later on as I would love to see it at night. The barstaff were extremely friendly and the pub was very clean as were the toilets and the music was brilliant.

Been drinking here for probably 20 years! It's my usual port of call for a meet up in Soho, usually a quite bear-y crowd which is fine by me 😉 Gets pretty crowded weekends and busy on quiz night on Wednesday too.

Love it!! I feel very welcome here. Very friendly and polite staff.

Enjoyed so much being here staff and customers are fab great music (no boom boom) I felt at home THANKS guys keep up the great work 🙂

Had a great night at the Welly with my friends considering it was social distancing, we were made to feel really welcome Table-service was great.And even though all the tables were full and we still got the drinks we ordered very quickly… The manager Oliver is such a good host and is always leading by example. Great manager and friendly staff!

I went there with friends on the weekend, the wine was terrible, I ordered a sauv blanc, I had them take it back, but then I had to pay for another glass. I'm sure that management check their stock that they buy in. The quality of wine was 1/10

What a blast we had watching the Euro 2020 final here! Great drinks, good prices, friendly bar staff. Particular shout out to Ryan who looked after us all night. Brilliant pub!

A great atmosphere and location. Drag bingo is a such a laugh and guaranteed fun. All the staff are friendly and special thanks to Daniel who was amazing and looked after us when we were there.

Was in a couple of weeks ago on my own while down from Manchester. Great pub, great staff, great people and atmosphere! Always come here!

Very welcoming environment. Not much food on offer when I went, although I would stress the bar doesn't really do such and their drink selection and atmosphere more than make up for it.

Great place! Nice, fast and friendly service and the six nations rugby - what more is there on a Saturday afternoon. Thanks for your great service

Really amazing bar, the music is usually very nice, people are respectful and the bartenders are nice! I had the pleasure of being served by Cal, he's an amazing person and he's been very professional and cheerful while serving us our drinks! There is also a quieter first floor which allows people to enjoy a more traditional pub environment which is not usual in the pubs in Soho. Will definitely visit again!

What a gem! The Duke of Wellington is a great place to have a drink (or a few) in Soho. The atmosphere is very inclusive, it seems to be a place where everyone is welcome to be themselves. One of the bartenders did really stand out. Cal with the big biceps was incredibly kind and considerate, he certainly knows how to pull a great pint. I'll definitely be back!

Great unpretentious gay bar with an authentic and welcoming atmosphere that has somehow avoided the feeling of copy+paste gay Soho. The staff play a huge role in this, always being friendly and interactive with the clientele. In particular, the pink haired Cal is always a delight and a great laugh when he's behind the bar!! All together highly recommend for a pint or a night out!!

Me and my organisation had such a fantastic evening at the drag bingo! The staff were very inviting and welcoming, as well as the host (who has also been on Britain's Got Talent!). This was such a hidden gem in the heart of Soho and would definitely recommend you go if you're in the need for some good fun with some great prizes! Definitely will be coming here more, to drink and to bingo!

Lovely place for a glass of traditional beer and nice time with friends.

The Welly is one of my favourite pubs in Soho, always lively and buzzing, great atmosphere. Recently I left my bag there by mistake, they kept it safe until I could collect it, thank you so much. A great team.

Love this pub and the staff are so welcoming and very professional I was extremely impressed with the way they handled a difficult situation with a member of the public bringing his child in to use the toilets the member of the public became very argumentive, all the time the barman kept his professional composure and explained to him where the nearest public to toilets where located. I noticed a couple of things the staff was on top of a spilt drink and instantly they were there cleaning it up. Such great members of staff and an absolute asset to your pub

Fab gay bar, drag shows every night. Staff are very friendly and it's a great place for an evening drinking. Miss Martha is the best 😊

I always have a great time at the duke. Super friendly staff who have to sometimes struggle with the massive amount of bears trying to order beer, but they do it smiling. Love that there is an outside to escape the noise from the singing and music inside. It's a good space to have a drink and chat with friends or make some new friends/acquaintances.

Loved Lola’s quiz last night! Super entertaining, incredible atmosphere and perfect for our work team event:) the staff is brilliant, so friendly and welcoming! We’ll definitely come back!! ❤️

came for beers w my partner. good atmosphere..no drama or attitude. not cruising that I can tell at least.

Nice LGBT pub with a nice selection of beers on tap. They have Birra Moretti, one of my favourites! The staff behind the counter were very friendly. The venue was very busy, went there on a Saturday night. The music played was lovely: a nice selection of the latest hits mixed with great 80s 90s a and 2000s. Overall a nice fun atmosphere!

Generally a good spot, but I've been in multiple times over the years pre and post covid and *always* have a local patron yell at me. Last weekend a woman with a group outside overheard me talking to my husband and told us "Americans should stop coming here we're sick of you", randomly, right after we just got a beer. So, not really so much the management can do, I guess, but not a great experience if you're visiting, especially when I've never had an issue anywhere else in SoHo.

For a long time a didn't feel so comfortable in a pub. Great STAFF , good assortment of drinks. And always great atmosphere

I have visited this pub with my 2 boys and my lovely friend on Wednesday 6th July.I was surprised that my children were allowed inside this late into the evening. We sat upstairs it was quiet. The waite was super friendly and attentive. The food was EXCELLENT- fresh, flavoursome and overall - I will definitely be back.

The Duke is a key part of Soho’s gay scene - offering a great pub location for a quick beer or for an evening with friends. The venue runs different nights and is a popular and busy venue. The quiz is fab, their coverage of sports games os great and the clientele and staff are friendly! Big fan of the Duke and had lots of fun many times, keep it up team and thank you!

Duke of Wellington is an amazing atmosphere, all the staff are so lovely and welcoming and it really is a fun night. I come to Busy Lady Bingo every Tuesday and every single time I leave with tears of laughter streaming down my face and a huge smile going from ear to ear. What makes it even better is the friendly staff. They are always so happy to see you and always make sure you have the best night possible! If you’re ever looking for a great night out, duke of wellington is definitely the place to go!
