About Duke Of Wellington

Bustling Victorian boozer with streetside tables, a fortnighly film club and comedy nights.

Reopened after a brief closure for refurbishment and opening under new management/ownership. Real ale returned after Covid in June 2024 with a single but interesting beer. now increased to two (Aug 2024)

At one time operated by Ed Mason of Five Points Brewery, the pub underwent a fine refurbishment. This large Victorian establishment still has vestiges of the old separate saloon bar and public bar entrances, with a central bar and retains some original features, such as the front fireplace and side-entrance floor tiling and some etched glass - while there is a separate lounge. Sport on several TVs (Arsenal are a strong favourite). Buses 38,30,56, N38. Benches at the side and a garden in summer.

    Amazing pub with great live sport options, air conditioning, Tiny rebel on tap too which is an incredible brew for UK standards. Great indoor outdoor flow with very friendly staff. Would come again/10.

    Lovely Victorian pub near Dalston Junction. Large screen for watching sport in one room, but not throughout the pub - so great to have a choice. Really good selection of craft beers and other drinks on offer. Pizza was really good too. Definitely worth visiting.

    Had an amazing dinner at The Duke of Wellington with great customer service from the staff! The pizza was delicious and atmosphere was very chilled and relaxing. Will definitely be visiting again :)
