De Hems Dutch Cafe Bar

Absolutely my favorite bar in London for their beer selection, service, and interesting history. Plenty of tasty Belgian beers on tap and a well-curated selection in bottles too. Gluten allergy? Try Duvel, Mongozo, Gipsi Hill Bandit, or Daura Damm which are brewed to reduce their gluten content. De Hems is a full bar though so if beer isn’t your thing they have wines and spirits as well. I don’t often eat at the bar but when I do the food has been excellent. We shared a sausage platter once that was perfect with my Chimay. Exploring the bar (upstairs and street level) you’ll find a lot of references to its early history. I always find something new here. Grab your favorite pint and take a look around.

This is a popular pub with locals and tourist alike. Spread over 2 floors it is in a great location being in Chinatown and just a stones throw away from the heart of Soho. Their speciality is beer and they an extensive beer menu both bottled and draught. They do offer standard pub food, I have eaten here previously and the burger was tasty. The service was good and given how busy it was it was also quick. Tables are difficult to get at busy times but they can be reserved online. There is a small exterior area. A pub well worth a visit.

De Hems is amazing! Whenever we're in town from California it's one of the first places we visit. High quality, delicious Belgian beers and super friendly staff like Nishaan. He remembers you and what you had to drink months later, now that's great service. Do not miss this place!

I’ve been coming to this bar for over 30 years now and when I walk in they treat me like I am a local. Nishaan in particular is a gem x making a bar in London feel so welcoming that it makes me want to come back x he even knows our order! Well done De Hems x you continue to be great and I look forward to visiting for the next 30 years x

Just had my birthday party at De Hems this past Sunday and have nothing but positive things to say! The staff were so friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. We were a large group of 40ish people but the speed of service remained good and everyone had a good time. The atmosphere of the second floor especially is great with the large windows and lots of natural light. The selection of beers, goes without saying, is one of the best in London. If you love Belgian/Dutch beer, this is the perfect place. The Dutch dishes as well are delicious and so close to the original. Small taste of home. Anyway, great experience and will surely be coming back!

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!

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.

De Hems - fantastic Dutch bar at the edge of Soho and China town. Wonderful food and beers in a warm welcoming historic bar.
