I love "De Hems"!!

The best nights to go there are Queensday(30/04), Sinterklaas(5/12)and any Dutch football match... that is if you are interested in those silly Dutch partying the night away!!

Wish I was there tomorrow!!

Great Pub, friendly staff and nice crowd. Try the less hectic upstairs lounge for a quieter, comfortable setting. The Beers are interesting and the bartenders will let you taste several to make your choices. Convenient in the Soho area right next to Chinatown. As an American in London, I went back there three times during my stay!

Great bar, food could be a bit more Dutch orientated such as Pancakes or poffertjes on there menu.

De Hems is the largest traditional-style pub in soho and has a really friendly atmosphere. Being English visiting a bar that only sells dutch and belgian beers I found it a great experience and I discovered a new love: fruit beer! They have a huge range of ales and lagers as well and will let you taste the draught beers if you don't know what you want. Try the strawberry beer- much better than any alcopops, even if you don't normally like beer. They also have DJs at the weekend- a great start to a night out.

De Hems is a nice and cosy bar in the heart of London.

The thing that is most special about this bar is that it is supposed to be the only Dutch bar.

Although the atmosphere is not all that Dutch, the drinks, especially the beers, the snacks and the hospitality certainly are.

Not every member of staff is Dutch but the most of them are and that gives just that bit extra to it, if you want/ are able to you can order your drinks simply in Dutch and that can come in handy with some of the names of the beers.

The only bad point about this bar is that the tipical Dutch snacks are a bit expensive.

A perfect place to go especially when the Dutch hafe got something to celebrate.
