Dog & Duck

Great place! We had fish and chips upstairs and it was delicious. Very very nice staff!

Cool bar. Bar area is small but patrons step outside on the street and sidewalk with their pints when its busy. Unsure if it is legal but I noticed it was the same at a lot of other bars in the area. Unsure if I really like the type of draft beers they offer here or in the other pubs I visited in London (except for Guiness) as they tend to be flat. At least that is what I encountered when they tap pump the beers.

Finest. Interiors. Simply stunning, great after work or stopover for a Soho pub crawl. Knowledgeable and friendly bar staff. Great selection of ales (My Generation, and Broken Dial). You will want to check out the dining room upstairs.

There’s dining space upstairs I didn’t know about and the woody classic pub décor gives you a comfy casual feel.
We had the gammon egg, a British classic, and the lamb shank pot pie. Both portions were HUGE and you can easily share an entrée between two not super hungry or big eaters. Food was tasty.
Oddly you can’t do take away — but apparently that’s a London rule I did not know about. Fortunately the waitress was sympathetic enough to my hatred for wasting food and gave me some foil to wrap up the food.
There’s also a lovely cider on tap.

I like this place, I really do. It’s small but cute. But since I am not a beer fan so it’s ok. And, I was super tired so I kind of fell asleep while my other friends were having a drink. Then this bouncer came along saying that I can’t sleep there or I’ll have to leave. Um. hello, can’t you see my friends are having their drink. And he stood there for awhile starring at us. I think he was just being racist because we were the only Asians there. Pshhhh!!!

It’s a really nice and quite the traditional pub. The food is menu is not exactly what you’d call an extensive one but the beers are great. Well, it’s all about what you’re in for; and it that’s having a great time, the Dog & Duck surely is the right place. We caught it on a busy hour and a person from the staff literally woosh-​ed by us in attempt to please all the customers. They were doing great but I think the place is a but understaffed. Our orders were taken and served on time and the food was amazing so all was good. We had a nice evening with quite the racket around us but we were in the mood for it.

I’m a fan of the books 1984 and Animal Farm so how could I not come check out this pub that the man George Orwell used to frequent. It’s somewhat a pretty typical bar in London. It’s name is «Animal and Other Animal or Random Object,» they have beer sponsors, they have a bathroom that’s located down a staircase, the bartenders are nice, there are hand pumped beers.
I pretty much came here after dinner at nearby Dishoom and had myself a pint of London brew. I sat down at one of the taller tables and wondered what George Orwell ordered or how many times he spilled his beer or saw a bar fight or something that sparked an idea for one of his books.
George Orwell frequented or not, you can’t go wrong checking out Dog & Duck because the least you’ll get is some nice hospitality and a tasty cellar-​temperature, drinkable brew. It’s conveniently located near lots of other good-​looking restaurants and pubs.

Good beers, friendly (and knowledgeable) staff, very intimate. Glad I wasn’t there on a busy day, however; don’t expect to get a seat.
On a rainy Sunday afternoon, however it was just what we were looking for :)

Every once in awhile, you find a little place that just makes you happy. That’s Dog and Duck. Nice little pub and restaurant; an over all splendid place to while away a couple hours with a couple of pints.
The pub is just what you’d expect, a traditional pub with atmosphere and charm. The restaurant is perfectly delightful, albeit a tiny bit corporate (menu of expected offerings one expects to find in a pub, somewhat prefab food, but good none the less).
I always make a point of visiting when I’m in London.

Awesome little pub we stopped into after buying some whiskey from Milroy’s around the corner (stop by this place if you’re a whiskey freak, this place has a great variety!). The NIcholson Pale Ale was refreshing, as was the inside where we sat and people watched. Since it was rather nice outside, there were a number of people hanging out on the sidewalk with their after-​work beers and wine. Not bad for a random find after walking through Soho!

We eat there last Friday 11^th. We have to say that the food has improved immeasurably over the last 12 months, especially the starters. Our only disappointment is the lack of fish NOT deep fat fried. However the is plenty of choice for those of us needing to avoid saturated fats.
The atmosphere is just amazing whether your standing outside with the smokers watching all of Soho go by, jostling for a position in the tiny bar or relaxing in the George Orwell restaurant upstairs. All of our friends we introduce to the Dog love it and come back for more, and so shall we.
Ate there again two weeks ago … Glad to say that the salmon is back on the menu … Presented in a paper bag, unusual but excellent none the less. If looking for a red wine ask for Nottage Hill’s Shiraz … Few tannins so easy on the finish. Enjoy.

A charming Soho pub that’s tight and absolutely packed on weekends.
If you’re just looking for a few drinks with friends, then you’ve come to the right place, so long as you don’t mind standing and/​or screaming to be heard over whoever’s currently the drunkest patron.
The draught selection is a bit small, and the Nicholson’s IPA was surprisingly weak in both color and flavor. The Gathering Storm porter however? Big win.

Loved the atmosphere & it was conveniently located across the street from hazlitt’s– where I was staying. My husband & I both shared a few pints before a table was ready for us upstairs for dinner. While they were out of several menu items, the dinner was totally delicious! I will definitely be back!

Dog & Duck is the quintessential Soho London traditional pub in my eyes. It really is charming, cozy and chocked full of character with glazed tiles inside. It’s standing room mostly on the main floor although word is the second floor does have many more tables & seats. It’s also known for having some well known people frequent it — John Constable, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Madonna and George Orwell.
When I went with my buddy, it was absolutely packed to the brims and spilling out the sides. Everyone bumping into each other as the drinks flow smooth & quickly — but that’s all part of the fun, right?
The service was good, the ale was better.
I don’t think Dog & Duck is necessarily a destination bar but a great spot along a list of bar stops on a fun night!

Jam packed, but after a few pints who cares?! You gotta hand it to the bartenders here cause they churn out a TON of drinks in a short amount of time. On a weekend or Thurs/​Friday this place can get absolutely packed, but that’s part of the fun. This is actually my go to spot to grab a few drinks at while waiting at burger & lobster.

Fine place, I liked it. Was upstairs eating fish and chips.

Sadly, it took us forever to find The Dog & Duck, wandering through rain & wet streets. But when we finally found it, we immediately got a table in the corner of the cozy upstairs and knew it was worth the search.
Hubby & I shared the Fillet Steak Sandwich (pan-​fried fillet steak and caramelised onion chutney served with with skin-​on chips (fries)) & the chicken/​bacon sandwich (grilled chicken, bacon, lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise on toasted farmhouse bread with a side salad) and, of course, the Sticky Toffee & Date Pudding.
Everything was fantastic — especially the dessert! Light & fluffy and served with a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream. Simple and wonderful. nom nom nom.
Oh, right, the sandwiches… The fillet steak was messy but flavorable. The chicken/​bacon was bigger and was a club (it had an extra slice of bread in the middle that we didn’t expect). The waitress brought us the smallest cup of ketchup ever for our chips — we are huge ketchup people and really could have used more.
She was ridiculously busy — the room was packed and she was the only server — but was very nice. Even though we didn’t get any beers or wine (I know, sacrilege!).
I would DEFINITELY go back here! Everything on the menu looked fantastic and the prices are so reasonable — even in pounds!

A lovely olde Nicholsons pub with a decent selection of beers. My only minor criticism might be regarding the lack of variety of styles (mostly if not all dark beers). It didn’t bother me one jot as I supped a delicious cherry porter! There were some unusual beers in the fridge too, almost alcopopesque in appearance. Hadn’t seen them before so had to have a taste. Was very easy drinking but not enough flavour to tempt me again.

Lovely intimate pub in busy Soho
go on a Sunday for peace & quiet

The Dog & Duck is a typical British pub, the type that American tourists flock to and Londoners who find themselves in Soho looking for a reasonably priced pint will head to as well.
There’s not much seating downstairs but there’s more on the first floor, the men’s toilets are quite a challenge to get to (small steep staircase) even when sober and the food is clearly fresh from the freezer.
It’s better to go there during the day as it has more character when empty than some of the trendy bars around the area. On a Saturday night, however, I will endeavour to stay away, the toilets were filthy but some thoughtful person thought it would be nice to leave a roll of foil in the cubicle — classy.

Solid pub with loads of snug dead in the middle of Soho. Not one to go out of the way for, necessarily, but a solid stop off in the area, avoiding all the lager-​swilling-​horridness that’s all around there.
They’ve also been v kind to me and my need to wee, occasionally.

Très bien
Parfait pour se reposer et boire une bière sur la route de Soho après du shopping intensif dans les alentours.
