Chris is the best ❤️ professional& kind !

Really lovely pub, staff & drinks great x

absolutely love it here! go to place, great staff and atmosphere. thank you so much

Jess & Lauryn are the best 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Lauren & Jess best service ever

Great place, not too busy and close to Liv St stn.

Lauryn and Jess are amazing. They made the night amazing! Definitely coming back

Terrific historic place, not especially rammed, good choice of beers, helpful staff. Wish I lived nearer.

Proper east end pub. Very hospitable and friendly bar lady. She recommended the 'fish finger' sandwich... massive lump of battered haddock in bread with chips. Very cheap for London, filled me right up. Excellent selection of London ales and whisky from around the world.

Nice pub, nice atmosphere and above all a delicious file and chips!!!!

Immaculate vibes, we visited on whim and it was amazing

Dirty Dicks has such a great environment, Chris was amazing and super friendly. Greta night!

For what was one of the old famous pubs of London, it now is decked out like a Disney themed ’Ye English pub’. A ruined pub and charges £7 a pint for the privilege.

Vinimos a tomar una copa y tuvimos un Guinness muy agradable! El lugar se siente viejo como si estuvieras en algún lugar con un gran pasado histórico. Había asientos afuera como un callejón que era realmente genial, honestamente realmente disfrutamos aquí y el personal es muy amable, también lo que nos gustó!

Jess was an amazing bar tender, would highly recommend coming here for your night out! Me and my friends had the best night!

Great service, most welcoming and coolest voucher, Jay. Absolute legend.

Genuinely stunning lauryn and chris are such babes. Met Chris’ wonderful dog dude and had a great time! Definitely coming back again. Emily best bar lady London

Had a couple of drinks with friends on a quiet weekday afternoon, the staff are really friendly, and got to meet the pub’s dog who’s down for entertainment! A lovely escape from the hustle and bustle of London Liverpool Street, to take a moment to slow down for a pint while being in a great location.

Landlady was up for a laugh and put all 4 of us at ease.

Dirty Dick’s is one of London’s most legendary pubs and is located right on Bishopsgate, not far from Liverpool Street Station. The name sounds dirty - and that's exactly the story behind it. In the 18th century, there lived a hardware merchant named Nathaniel Bentley who lost all interest in cleanliness after the sudden death of his fiancée. Instead of tidying up his apartment or taking care of himself, he simply let everything go to waste, including himself. Bentley quickly became a well-known figure in the city, infamous as “Dirty Dick,” probably London's sleaziest bachelor. The pub took this quirky life story as its model and styled itself in the spirit of Nathaniel, with cobwebs, dusty antiques and decor that looked like no one had picked up a broom for 100 years. But don't worry - today there's beer and burgers instead of dust and spooks, but the spirit of this quirky anecdote still lives on. Anyone who enters Dirty Dick's not only gets a pint, but also a good piece of London legend. As of: April 20, 2025 "Anyone who believes that care and cleanliness are purely a private matter has never stood in a crowded elevator. Cleanliness is not a luxury, but a silent agreement that we all make with one another. A friendly invitation not only to put up with each other, but to make living together a little bit more pleasant. A freshly showered person not only saves their own day, but sometimes also that of the person sitting next to them. In a well-kept world, society simply smells better - in the truest sense of the word."

Jess and Chris brought the vibesssss, PROMOTE THEM TODAY XXXX

Tuve el bistec y pastel de cerveza con puré y era comida reconfortante adecuada. La pastelería estaba dorada, el filete tierno, y la salsa rica y llena de sabor. El equipo de cocina claramente sabe lo que están haciendo. David fue muy amable y hizo que toda la experiencia fuera aún mejor. Me sentí realmente cuidado.

Jess was amazing, drinks were fantastic

Me vine con un familiar, la esposa y los niños. El personal era encantador y paciente. Pub es un bebedor encantador con un montón de opciones en el grifo.

Amazing service, great vibe, good music 👌

Delicious, big portions, really.impressed, it was Easter Sunday so we were the only ones there for a while. Big menu, we mostly had roasts.

Bar staff were amazing. Jess is an amazing, beautiful girl who done everything to accommodate the group of us. Couldn’t have asked for a better vibe

Very interesting pub, lots of history, if you look closely. Reasonably priced drinks for London.

Came in for a cheeky roast chicken this Easter, and had the best time. Wendy was amazing and my compliments to the chef - the Yorkshire was the fluffiest I’ve had.

Roast was incredible! Whole family enjoyed the Crispy Roast potatoes and the trio of meats.. never thought I'd be the person who would enjoy being stuffed with 3 meats BUT here we are. And then taking in the prestige and history of the venue with a cold pint of Estrella, perfect eastern weekend 👌🏻

Great English pub! Loved the food! We were with kids, so they did us kids versions of regular dishes. Loved the place, the atmosphere and the service. Definitely recommended

El bar de cócteles es encantador, Jess en particular es un artista cuando se trata de alcohol. Recomendó las bebidas más perfectas basadas puramente en vibraciones. Increíble.

Amazing place with jess making great cocktails in the cocktail har downstairs. Popped in for food earlier in the day then came back for the cocktails so glad we did. Fab time and place all round

No puedo confirmar ni negar que recientemente tuve una reunión de negocios de alto nivel en Dirty Dick’s, cerca de Liverpool Street. Si hubiera estado allí, habría sido puramente por motivos profesionales, completamente por encima del bordo, aunque quizás ligeramente por debajo del radar. ¿La atmósfera? Ideal para negociaciones discretas y estrategias silenciosas. Mucho ruido ambiental para cubrir discusiones sensibles, pero no tan alto que uno tenga que repetir frases en clave. ¿Las bebidas? Digamos que fueron eficaces para ayudar a las partes clave a llegar a “un entendimiento”. En general, si estás buscando un lugar donde lo que está en juego es alto, las conversaciones calladas y las pintas frías, Dirty Dick’s puede o no ser el lugar. No leíste esto, por supuesto.

Great Dirty dicks pub! Plenty of drinks great vibes and Jess was amazing .. cannot recommend more

Hello Dirty Dicks I'm Jacob and I think more pubs should be more like yours Be like Dirty Dicks (one of the best pubs in London)

Jess and Lauryn are incredible! Amazing old pub with loads of heritage ! Coming back for the tequila rosá

Great venue ! Bday with the girls annnd Lauren spoiled us rotten. 11/10 would come again

Very friendly environment and nice staff. I especially have to thank Sarah for her hospitality 👍😄

Attended a friend's birthday in the bar downstairs, top tasting food and great service from Matt at the bar. Would definitely recommend paying this place a visit if you're in the area!

Chris was great! Thanks for vodka ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Special recommendations for the bouncer team.

A nice pub near Liverpool Street Station. Friendly staff at the counter. Gladly again.

Whenever I'm on my way home , I always have one glass of wine..!.. Staff, fantastic Great service 👏

I booked for 14 people and they accommodated us downstairs. I was really impressed with the service and friendliness of the staff. It was perfect for what we wanted and it rounded off an amazing day. I didn’t eat but others really enjoyed their bar snacks.

Great location and great service from sarah , nice !!

Lauryn and Jess were great bar girlies!! They were so lovely and great to talk to!! Xx

Whenever you are in the area, make sure you visit this place. I was served by two lovely ladies, Lauryn and Jess, and they made our experience all the more delightful. Would highly recommend for a whimsical experience

This bar was absolutely amazing. I am from America and got this recommended by some locals and it lived up to and beyond the hype. I would recommend this bar to anyone and everyone looking for a place to go out in London. And I would like to especially thank Lauryn and Jess!!

Stephan, jess and George were amazing going again at some point❤️

One last pint of Guinness before returning to Barcelona. Great!!!

Quick and friendly service, tidy food, chill music. Great place, awesome history.

Great atmosphere, lovely service & Sarah so helpful & friendly

Nice little pub, with a great name, overrun by finance bros. Service was good and prompt, after getting past the bouncer (who was just doing his job to keep even more obnoxious patrons out). The clientele was loud on a Thursday night, though that's no fault of the business. I would like to revisit on a slower afternoon, because the space has real character.

Absolutely wonderful pub Sarah behind the bar was welcoming and fantastic and friendly

Great traditional pub in the heart of city. Sarah was brilliant nothing too much trouble and very attentive she created a great atmosphere.

I love this pub, it feels like Alice’s homeland with a secret garden where I can make some of my friend and work calls while I enjoy my drink or snack. Sarah makes this place more positive and her glowing personality makes this pub nicer 🥰 Highly recommend for my colleagues around the area.

Fine selection of beers served by friendly and helpful staff !!!

refused to remove hate speech in br

Came in for a drink and for some food Karmen and Chris looked after us and had a great time

Came for a sunday roast had excellent service from chris and food was great from jess .

Sarah was our bartender, super friendly and not only poured great drinks but dished out great advice about places to go and things to do while in London. We will be back!

Didn’t have a chance to try the food but we had the best bartender Sarah serve up not only great drinks but also great advice for spots to visit while in London. Can’t wait to come back!

One of the friendliest pubs in London, I can say it is the best pub in London with its atmosphere and service. In addition, the security is very understanding, especially George is very good at his job and very friendly.

Proper London pub, great atmosphere and good beer.

Great pub, 200 years of tradition, plus the name of the pub is a marketing campaign by itself.

Organised for a business social / after work event, drinks and food. We had a brilliant time, everything was as described. Booking and ordering was super easy, shout out to Karmen who facilitated it. Great venue, friendly staff and lovely food. Would definitely recommend.

Jess was amazing, excellent customer service. Great cocktails, friendly vibes. 5/5 would recommend.

Had a great night in the cocktail bar with Jess and Jasmine!

Went to the cocktail bar, and had the best time, the atmosphere was amazing. Lauryn, Jasmin and Jess were really helpful with suggestions and made me the most delicious cocktails

At the our arrival we met George, the security guy at the front door, he was fantastic,funny, and incredibly professional. He made our experience feel welcoming and smooth from the moment we arrived. Very nice Pub and great food with a good choise of beers. Lovely atmosphere 👌 We'll come back for sure.

Great pub, but we didn't have food so I can't rate that

Excellent food and good beers in a characteristic and well-kept environment. There are several vegetarian/vegan options on the menu (the ones I tried were delicious). Worth a try if you are near Liverpool Street Station.

We came in for Sunday Roast, Lauryn was really helpful with offering suggestions and came back to check up on us, despite being busy. Will definitely be coming back again.

Was there tonight with my mate/ colleague love the staff they know me proper now l9ve the vibe the music and the girls who go there tonight was fun and loved it only problem was the price to much so couldn't bye much but so recommend if u finished your stressful work shift an need a drink lovely customers everyone wants to vibe with everyone a bit of everyone age 😊 love it thank u see u all when I'm paid hopefully they hire soon I'm soo wanting to work there I have experience 😊

Fabulous decor, nooks and crannies, wooden balls, low beams.,. Good beer, ok prices, places to drink alone or in company 🙂 good pub

Great atmosphere. Lauren and Chris were great! Provided fun and fast service. Would recommend for anyone’s late night tipple.

Chris and Lauren were fantastic. Best service and so personable! We will be back again. The rum and cokes are to die for. I promise

We had an absolutely brilliant time at Dirty Dicks. The pub has an incredible atmosphere- full of character and history. Sarah H was fantastic - so friendly and welcoming. Even taking the time to share the pubs history with us. The service was excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to return. Thank you all at Dirty Dicks for making our day so special and memorable xxxx

Went for a Sunday roast. Really good. Service in the downstairs bar really friendly and proactive.

We popped to Dirty Dicks for a Sunday Roast and loved it! We were seated by the window which was perfect for watching the world go by while we browsed the menu - which had lots to offer, so all of our tastes were catered for. The food was delicious, with great portion sizes and all of the team who served us were friendly and knowledgeable. The wine selection was plentiful and the Espresso Martini was one of the best I’ve tasted! Would definitely recommend.

Don't let the name put you off. This pub is a fount of history. The previous owner was Charles Dickens' inspiration for Ms Haversham in great expectations. Wonderful staff, especially a young Australian girl who was the life and soul of the pub!

Fun bar with good music! However, don't order Guinness as they come in plastic glasses!

Thank you for lovely time at the Dirty Dicks pub. Food was very delicious and service was friendly and professional. I had roast chicken croquettes and chicken wings that came with blue cheese sauce. I love the atmosphere of this old pub that has quite few bars actually. Would definitely want to return in the future.

Nipped in for a pint. It's a good pub but not what it was the last time I was here 42 years ago. But then again neither am I.

Great place and we had perfect welcome on Monday evening 😃 Thank You! 🥰

I recently had my retirement party at Dirty Dicks, organised by a dear friend of mine. It was absolutely fantastic. The basement room was superb, beer was great (Andy can vouch for the Rose!), and the food went so quick. I was also allowed to bring Brenda (my cockapoo) who also had a great time. She was only going to stay for an hour, but stayed for three!! (Brenda can vouch for the water). The staff were efficient, attentive and friendly. Well done. It was a really memorable night.

I was shagged by a cosplay Vladimir Putin

Was a mainstay during travels to London for work. This place has it all.

Lovely pub for drink and food was grand.. nice place in the middle of the busy station and area. Was quiet and warm when I was there. Staff are really lovely

We went to the pub straight after the journey to quickly eat and drink something, because it was right next to the station. Collecting the order already took about 30 minutes. I feel like half the card was missing. Sausage and potatoes? There aren't. Cider? There aren't. Scotch egg? There aren't. Steak main course with seasonal insert? There aren't. The pace of serving dishes is at least slow. The entire stay took us almost 2 hours. The food was amazing, but not terrible either. Nevertheless, I find the whole thing very average. On our last day we went to another pub nearby and the whole thing was delicious and took 30 minutes.

Booked an area in the pub for hen party celebration. Ordered food and drink in advance. Drinks ready and waiting for us and spot in the pub upstairs was good- still felt like we were part of the pub but weren’t interrupted by anyone and easy to get extra drinks at the bar. Food was delicious and staff were happy to help those with food allergies. Plant based sliders were particularly good.

3rd occasion Sunday roast at Dirty Dicks. Myself and sistrens enjoyed the whole experience. The menu had changed from my last visit. I must say the ladded items were to my liking (also the sistrens). 2 first timers and they were comfortable. The change to the seating was fab. Tables spaced out and the added the television screen with the log fire added to the experience. The three meats roast menu was delicious and filling. No extra roaties require and definitely no pudding (I wanted to, no space). Drinks were lovely also. Definitely another visit required.

All awesome,Thanks for all Jay.

So massively improved over how it used to be. Well worth a visit these days.

Lovely find in the city, right outside liverpool St station, and brilliant service from zee will definitely be back

Super good food, very nice service and people✨️

What an epic Pub, a lot of history and a treat to visit. Sarah was out bartender and she has so much knowledge about the pub and it’s history. Can’t wait to come back

Good experience, went for some pints and had a chat with Sarah - the best waitress in London.

Sarah was a brilliant barmaid. Friendly, knowledgeable about the area. What more can u ask I defo come back 🩷
