De Hems Dutch Cafe Bar in City of London, Westminster

Excellent selection of Belgian beer

Nish and Chris really made our visit!! Great selection of beers and really relaxed atmosphere

We hired the upstairs bar for a private party. The De Hems team made everything easy from the point of booking, setting up and ensuring all ran smoothly on the evening. It's a great space and the food, drinks and staff all excellent. Highly recommend if you're looking for a venue in the west end.

Had a private party . Enjoyed having the private space . Food was good. Staff friendly . Only fault was no loo roll in the toilets . Otherwise had a pleasant evening

No Dutch atmosphere at all and poor service. They also have no knowledge of the beers they have in their range and Dutch music is not welcome here

My phone was stolen from the table :-( nice pub ww2 Dutch pilots and resistance HQ :-)

Great pub just outside of Chinatown in Theatre District of London. Highly recommended!

Very nice pub with loads of history and a fantastic choice of beers

Went for a private party and the food was lovely. Service was good, it was a great venue!

Great range of drinks and food; bar staff were really good. My only complaint is the music was so loud we struggled to talk at our table - but, I am in my 50s, so understand some might not agree!

Been coming here for 30 years. By far the best Dutch bar in town! Staff are helpful and food is good

I can't remember too much because I was hammered. I didn't eat any of the food so the food score is for the beer. I love Belgian beer and this place has many. I think the atmosphere was pretty cool, but as I already mentioned, I was hammered

Solid Soho standby, just far enough from the Madding Crowd to be able to get to the bar

Great pub . Great beers. Great atmosphere. Crap prices .. £9 a Früli . Shame about the dog strolling round as not everyone likes dogs ! Allergic .. 🤧 sneezing fit so left

As Dutchman you hope for something Dutch to eat... I should like to eat my Dutch favourite snack: Kroketten. Sadly enough these wer not nice... No Dutch beer, like Heiniken, Grolsch, Amstel... Yea... Belgian beers enough... service is less then years ago and the Dutch "cosyness" + Gezelligheid is a good as gone... I'm very sorry that I have to say, but DE HEMS is off my list when I visit London again

Except for a couple of dutch snacks, there isn't much dutch about the place! But overall, it's still a nice bar! Groetjes uit nederland.

Good beer selection and a good vibe

First time here in years. Used to be a regular many moons ago. Oranjeboom is no longer served, but still the only Dutch pub in Soho

Brilliant traditional Dutch bar, with a great selection of beers.

Some great beers in this drinker.

It's OK. We went early and STILL got kicked off a table as it was booked. Not too pleased about that, pubs shouldn't really offer booked tables for drinking. It was a rather expensive place too, three drinks was £40. Insane prices

Extensive beer menu, both bottled and tap. Location is great too. Amazing service by the staff. Had a lovely and unexpected transatlantic conversation with Mr. Sengupta. Must try!!

De Hems Dutch Café Bar is a true hidden gem in the heart of London! The atmosphere is always lively, with a great selection of Dutch and Belgian beers that you don't often find elsewhere. Highly recommend if you're looking for something different from the usual pub experience!

Nice pub with some wonderful unusual stuff on taps. This gem is on my list now

Very busy bar but service not compromised.

A nice variety of delicious Dutch beers

Lovely little space in the middle of a busy area, the staff are incredibly welcoming . Amazing selection of beer and cracking food!

Great pub in the heart of soho. Best beer selection.

Great atmosphere! Had a brilliant time with my friends.

Great experience. Special thanks to Nishan for his impeccable service!

It is a great place with amazing ambience and food.

My wife and I visit De Hems every time we come to London...we've always liked it here but the last two times haven't been particularly enjoyable. When we arrived, I went to the bar whilst my wife visited the ladies room...I ordered a beer and said to the barman I'll wait for my wife to return to see what she wants to drink..she came back over to the bar to ask where the ladies room is...the barman then said ..she's not ready to order, I'll charge you now ..and thrust the card machine towards me...very odd...we sat down when my wife returned and she ordered, including some chips.. £8.50 for a teacup of chips...a pint of Duvel is £10.35...fair enough, london prices but still...It used to be great but not anymore. We will not be back.

Sat 24/08/2024:- Visited for a quick Belgium beer (Zot) with afew others on a rainy packed-to-the-hilt evening in London's West End. The bar was heaving because of masses of huge TV screens showing a football match between Arsenal & Aston Villa and football fans had gathered. I've been to De Hems many times over many years and have never witnessed this before. I'm not a footie fan (rugby's my thing) but neither am I fan of sports bars so will probably give it a miss another time. PS ALL the staff were dead miserable!

Popped in on my folks’ recommendation and was served by a lovely girl called Elenna. The beer was spot on, they show all the Eredivisie games which is ideal for me as an Ajax fan, and they even gave me a tshirt!!! Definitely coming back 🙌🏻

So many drinks to choose from and food is amazing!! Making this place my regular go to for sure, nishan especially was super helpful. Thank you De Hems team love you all so much 🫶🫶

Stumbled across this pub whilst walking through China town and as somebody who visits Holland most years I can vouch for it authentic Dutch feel and vibe. The drinks served are exactly what I have in Arnhem. Really lovely and vibrant pub.

Good place for Belgian beer and to watch football

Always a great place for a beer, just be careful 🤣

Fantastic spot for a great selection of Belgian beers with a decent food menu!

Large selection of Belgian beers. And an original, classy place

Extensive selection of excellent Belgian and Dutch beers. Definitely recommended if that's the type of beer you drink

Excellent beer, food and service

Great beer selection and friendly staff

We try to stop by to have beers & bitterballen when we are in the area. Delicious.

Excellent gem of a Dutch bar in Chinatown London, great choice of beers

I was looking for somewhere that did a good pub meal. So I found this place by pure chance. It was a bit late for lunch, but nothing was an issue for them. The tall guy behind the bar (I didn't get his name) was so friendly and helpful. I had a beef stew with a really dark gravy. It was beautiful, although perhaps it could have had a bit more beef in it.

Too bad they don't come to the table. Even though there are 3 people standing at the bar doing nothing. Don't miss the Dutch part Nothing special about this bar.

Restaurant is on the first floor, had tasty stoofvlees dish. Missing from the menu is chicken sate which was previously Featured. Great beers.

Simply awesome, definitely again!!!!!!!!

Popped in, walking back to Holborn. Quiet afternoon, pre-England match. Good beers and knowledgeable & friendly barman.

Really good venue. Great selection of drinks. All staff friendly and helpful. Nishaan (bar staff) was very helpful, friendly and professional.

Nice and elegant Dutch pub with good service, cleanliness and good food 😉

Very nice and cozy place to be there 😃

It was super cozy, friendly staff, great location to eat, highly recommended if you are in the area.

Everything was just great! The whole experience was elite.

I love this pup is really good nice drinks great service

What a wonderfully relaxing tent!!!! Good friendly service, plenty of beer choices and delicious and affordable food. You must have been here, Wow.

Beer is great here, somewhere that has beers with personalities.

Good place to have some beers in London

MEGA night. Blooming loved it. Ben (ben)? I think that's his name?? Hosted a party that was OFF the chain. Wristbands, dutch music, Andre Hazes, THREE goals to boot THE PLACE to watch DUTCH SPORT FOOTBALL in london

Lively Dutch bar in West End/China Town. Amazing range of draught beers, including many from the Netherlands and Belgium. Quirky decor, great atmosphere, and friendly service. Serves food, although I didn't order any.

We got a shirt after we lost the Belgian football match, which was of great consolation

This bar is perfect if you want to enjoy some belgium beer in London. They have a create selection.

This is an iconic London landmark! Good choice of beers and Dutch meals that go so well with a pint. Very friendly staff and always has a good buzz.

Hands down one of the best pubs in London! Incredible selection of Dutch/Belgian beers, friendly staff and they even have the sport on (and not many people know about it). Make sure to ask for Nishan when you pop in 😉

Amazing atmosphere with an incredible selection of beer! Very friendly staff

Didn't eat great selection of beers

Great Bar in Soho! Amazing place to go for food and to try a selection of great beers. Wayne and Matilda were brilliant upstairs during the Football. Highly recommend!

Used to be Dutch pub who now feeds of the popular image of Amsterdam. Only good thing about it is the beer selection, otherwise nothing Dutch about it. None of the staff is even Dutch… also terrible EURO football event coordination. You can’t book in advance and they don’t even have a screen outside. When it’s full it’s full and no chance to get in to meet your actual DUTCH friends.. unhelpful manager who was simply rude. There are definitely better places to go in London.

Always good! Especially on occasions!

Lovely authentic dutch pub, which serves a great selection of beers. Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere in the pub. Look forward to coming back :-)

Fantastic selection of Belgian beers on tap and in bottles. Friendly barman. Big fluffy and placid GSD.

Great place to meet up with mates

Great place! Great bunch of staff!

Thé service was amazing. Showing the football aswell 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Banging place loved it, amazing tvs, the chef vitaly was amazing

Food was amazing and ours drinks. Many thanks to Chef Vitali ❤️❤️😃

Good Place , Great Vibe and an Amazing chef Vitali !

Lovely spot. Been here a couple of times and would recommend!

We were here as a group so our food was picked for us no worries!!! Our drinks and service wonderful!!!!

Excellent staff great drinks. Fantastic laugh compared to nearby oneils!

Great staff and refurbishment is top notch

Always been an awesome pub, make a point of popping in for food and drinks when down the smoke. Great staff and food but for me today the highlight was Bertie the GSD but I'm very biased 😂

Beautiful place, with delicious drinks for our staff party!

Nice bar but lacking in Dutch beer on draft, which is weird

Rasheed was fantastic. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and extremely cordial. He made the experience amazing!

Chocolate beers 🍫🍺❤️💛 🇧🇪 PLEASEEEEEE CAN YOU GET THE FLORIS CHOCOLATE AS WELL?????

Watched the play off final in here on Sunday. Great choice of beers, friendly staff and brilliant atmosphere. Loved the way the front of the pub opens up making it feel really airy and spacious. Will definitely visit again next time were in London.

£7.20 for a non alcoholic beer. Crazy.

Amazing to see Delirium on draft brilliant and perfect pint. Thanks rasheed who served me was a pleasure thanks again back soon

A visit to De Hems is always a must when in Soho. Great Dutch snacks and amazing drink selections. Get the Bitterballen! Shout out to Mark for always coming through with the recommendations!

Mark was fantastic found a great place for la chouffe!

Aight, it’s just a pub. Friend had a gig here, too.

Excellent pub with great staff and lively atmosphere

Bar staff are excellent! Nish in particular was amazing 👏🏼 10/10 would recommend to anyone

Plenty of Dutch beer 🍺🍺 unsurprisingly

Best bar in Soho! Tried the strawberry Belgium beer and La Trappe, delicious!! Great friendly bar staff.

The De Hems Dutch Cafe Bar is a nice pub situated in the heart of London’s tourist district, on the edge of China Town and Shaftesbury Avenue. The De Hems offers a good selection of Dutch and Belgian Beers, both bottled and on tap. The De Hems also serves a varied selection of excellent food, check out the “Dutch style chips”. The De Hems is also an excellent place to watch sport, with a number of screens, including a projector screen upstairs. Tables can be booked in advance.

Great hidden spot on the edge of ChinaTown. Love it.

Dutch café with many Belgian beers on the menu. Friendly and helpful staff. Quick service. Also room for receptions for up to +/- 50 people. The bitterballen are tasty.
