Discover London’s Most Unique Cocktail Bar in Soho
Why Mr Fogg’s Pawnbrokers Stands Out
This is no ordinary Soho establishment… Hidden behind an unassuming pawn-shop frontage on Dean Street lies one of Soho’s most curious discoveries. Phileas Fogg’s wayward half-brother and former pawnbroker, Frank Fogg, is said to preside over this adventurous cocktail bar, where Victorian shelves brim with peculiar artefacts and cocktails arrive in curious vessels gathered during a lifetime of travel. Experience an immersive late-night escape, perfectly suited to pre-theatre drinks, intimate rendezvous and evenings that unfold at an unhurried pace.
Service is delivered with a sense of occasion, the rooms are crowded with detail worthy of inspection, and cocktails are presented as prized acquisitions rather than simple refreshments. The effect is immersive and assured – a place shaped by character, curiosity and a certain disregard for the predictable.
Our Antique-Filled Pawn-Shop Décor & Signature Drinks
The cocktail list draws inspiration from the rich drinking traditions of Victorian London, inviting guests to examine a minuscule-printed menu through a jeweller’s loupe – once used by pawnbrokers to assess precious goods. From there, an eclectic collection of cocktails is revealed, mixed with care and served in an array of antique vessels: ornate Fabergé-style eggs, generous punch bowls and unexpected vases, each selected to be admired before the first sip.
Prime Soho Location - 50 Dean Street, W1D 5BQ
Set on Dean Street in the heart of Soho, Mr Fogg’s Pawnbrokers sits among London’s most celebrated theatres, restaurants and late-night haunts. Its central position makes it an ideal stop for pre-theatre drinks, a post-dinner indulgence, or an evening that unfolds long after the curtain falls. Just moments from Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus, the bar is perfectly placed for those exploring Soho’s cultural heart.
Getting Here - Tube, Taxi & Walking from Leicester Square
Getting here is straightforward. Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus and Tottenham Court Road Underground stations are all within easy walking distance, while taxis can pull up directly on Dean Street for a discreet arrival. Whether visiting on foot, by tube or by cab, Mr Fogg’s Pawnbrokers remains conveniently accessible for both London locals and visitors seeking a centrally located cocktail bar in Soho.
Hidden Entrance & Curiosities on Display
Marked by three golden spheres suspended above 50 Dean Street, the adventure begins with a glance through the bay windows, where wares appear temptingly ‘for sale’. Step inside to discover three distinct spaces – The Pawnbrokers Counter, The Strong Room and The Textiles Room – each revealing a different layer of the story.
A substantial wooden bar anchors the room, while tables double as glass-fronted display cabinets, inviting guests to sip cocktails served in an eclectic array of curious objects. Look closer and the details reveal themselves: a wall crowded with clocks, a ceiling of mismatched light fittings, outlandish Victorian erotica and an ever-growing collection of peculiar commodities. Entering feels less like visiting a bar and more like stumbling upon a well-kept secret, where every object has a tale to tell…
Signature Cocktails & Late-Night Vibes
When the clock strikes late in Soho, Mr Fogg’s Pawnbrokers takes on a livelier character. On Friday and Saturday nights, the Victorian pawn shop of curiosities transforms into a late-night cocktail bar with a most peculiar twist.
Chandeliers glow as champagne flows and DJs, dressed in full period attire, set the tone for the evening. Expect soulful rhythms, disco grooves and old-school floor-fillers as the music builds and the rooms fill with curious, adventurous company. There’s space to gather at the bar and linger over cocktails, whether arriving with intention or simply following intrigue through the door.
Walk-ins are always welcome! Discover Soho nights at their most spirited and just the right side of mischievous.
Explore Our Menu of Inventive Drinks in Antique Vessels
The cocktail menu is presented as a collection of treasures, offered for closer inspection at the pawnbroker’s counter. Names hint at journeys taken and possessions acquired, while drinks arrive in vessels chosen for their character rather than polish – from diamond-shaped bottles that catch the light to cocktails balanced carefully on antique weighing scales. Some serves invite sharing, others reward a slower approach, but each is mixed with care and intended to be admired before the first sip, sitting comfortably among the curiosities of this Soho cocktail bar.

It’s a place to arrive after dinner, settle in for another round, and let the evening unfold at its own pace. With walk-ins always welcome, Pawnbrokers offers a late-night setting that feels considered, characterful and quietly indulgent – a world away from the ordinary Soho stop.
