A great selection of beers (including the frankly, lethal, Fruli ;) ) but does tend to get packed, given its location.

In the heart of Theatreland, great for a post-show drink.]]> Sun, 01 Feb 2009 19:42:20 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1e8tc8323245152 ONscotland 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1o3ph8

Fantastic dutch pub with fantastic internal beers and the best bitterballen ever! If you've never tried Bitterballen, a dutch snack then you must- although not if you;re a vegetarian!]]> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 14:04:51 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1o3ph8224956032 Siam cool excellent pub food friendly 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1b49g8

The place is chilled out (if a bit hot inside on warmer days, oxymoron alert!). If peckish try the chips with lashings of peanut sauce and mayo. Quite a nice way to soak up some of the beers on tap. With the Euro's (2008) going on at the moment, this is usually rammed with dutch fans (from memory of euro 2004)

De Hems is a historic bar, located just off Shaftesbury Avenue, on the edge of China Town. It was built back in 1890, though was home to a tavern prior to that as well.

The bar specialises in Dutch & Belgium beers, with several on tap. It also has a pretty tempting sounding food menu.

Set over two stories, this is quite a lively pub, which is apparently 'the' place to go when there is a Dutch football game on.

Quite possibly the best Dutch Pub in London. Great food and lots of Belgian beer including cherry Liefmans (Mmm, yummy!).

The place is packed and extremely hot on Weekends, but it's ok during Weekdays and if you're lucky enough, you might find an empty leather sofa to go with your drink!!!]]> Wed, 08 Aug 2007 22:37:09 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1404b81915889031 Jimbo posh modern pub mature excellent pub food young professionals different pub food good value crowded friendly lively 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1d12j8

Lots of nice Belgian beer on tap so worth a visit. As others have noted it can get quite busy, smoky and noisy, especially on fridays when a lot of out of towners seem to drink here. But, overall definately not a bad place to get a drink in central London.]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 09:38:01 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1d12j8889086563 mundek busy belgian traditional pub young and fun 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1a7148

Great place to get Belgian beer; they usually have something interesting (e.g. Kriek) on tap, as well as lots more in bottles. As others have said, it's usually pretty crowded. Quite dark inside too. In the summer they open up the front wall to let the air in. There's a bookable upstairs room which used to (possibly still does) host comedy nights.]]> Sun, 25 Feb 2007 16:00:31 +0000 /review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1a7148472316529 Kake crowded belgian beer 51.511195417205 -0.13236034152964 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1m8u56/de-hems/1w30h8
