About Nellie Dean of Soho
Classic corner pub with banquettes serving draught ales, plus an upstairs dining room for pie menu.
Originally licensed in 1683 as the Dolphin, the current building dates from 1900 and is Grade II-listed; the name was changed to Nellie Dean of Soho in 1967. The pub now offers three cask ales and reasonably priced food, very largely pies & hotdogs. The upstairs room is now set for tables and dining, and can be hired for functions. The pub can become very crowded of a weekday evening and customers may spill out onto the pavement. Note that the toilets are down a quite narrow flight of stairs.
Very handy for the Elizabeth Line, and the nearby Pizza Express jazz club.

Really enjoyed this Jackie and Hyde pub. During the day a quiet sophisticated pub serving pies and mash. Then at 5pm the bouncer comes on and the madness begins. Pie and mash I had two and they get an 8/10. Ask for extra mash portions are not huge. No coffee on offer either. All in all a good experience and would go back

Fun, quirky places that doesn’t match all the photos I see on this Google business page so that’s confusing. Take extra note of all the things adorning the walls, it has some great pieces. The selection of drinks and food are smart- thoughtful of the area the pub is located in. The toilets are an adventure, don’t lose your head.

I've always really enjoyed this little pub. It's had some changes and refurbs over the years but has retained character and a homely feel. Friendly staff, three cask ales on my last visit, and nice wines too. It's a fun place to go with friends, a partner, or just to chill out on your own with a book or newspaper.

Lovely venue and atmosphere. Jay, in particular, was very accommodating and welcoming. My husband and I came from Bath and Jay went out of his way to ensure we had a great night. We will most definitely be back!

Was here for a few drinks with my mates Lovely Door Man Jay at the Bar was friendly, welcoming, kind & funny. Famous Bloke as many people around knew him. Will definitely visit again.
