About Duke of Wellington
Spacious, gay-friendly corner pub with busy downstairs bar, music videos and quieter upstairs area.
DJ and music nights. The pub is in gay bar listings and advertised as such by Stonegate. There’s an area for dancing inside, and up the staircase there are plenty of tables for when the downstairs becomes too crowded or noisy.

This is one of the best gay bar in Soho. Really great crowd, friendly and attentive member of staff. Also a big praise should go to the security staff who are among the best, hard working and kindest I ever met. Very well done to the all staff at the Duke of Wellington.

I found this great pub one Saturday afternoon on a solo trip to the theatre. Really lovely friendly bar staff and clientele. I visited again yesterday and again was on a solo theatre trip and found myself a seat at a table with 2 lovely guys who were very friendly and we chatted away until they had to leave and I was greeted with another 3 lovely guys who took their seats. We chatted and laughed and I had a great time. I don't mind going into a pub by myself but sometimes I feel a bit uncomfortable but this brilliant pub is the kind of place that really makes you feel welcome and people speak…

Really vibrant bar with a warm, inclusive atmosphere. The staff are friendly and provide excellent service, ensuring a great experience. It's the perfect spot for a fun night out with a diverse and welcoming crowd. Highly recommended for its lively vibe and top-notch hospitality.

Found this wee gem with my partner by accident. Made up for the disappointment when we visited another gay/gay friendly the night before. Whatever was wrong the night before was certainly put right by the Welly today. Will definitely be back. We decided to make it our local when we return to London. Thank you Welly so much xx 😊
