About Mr Fogg's Pawnbrokers
Mr Fogg's Pawnbrokers is a Victorian-themed cocktail bar at 50 Dean St in Soho, London, hidden behind a pawn-shop frontage. Inside, the tables carry items for sale in keeping with the pawnbroker theme, and each of the three spaces has slightly different decor. Cocktails arrive in eccentric vessels such as ornate eggs and punch bowls. The drink menu follows the theme, with names like Priceless Heirloom, A Quiet Transaction and Curious Cargo. The bar opens daily and welcomes walk-ins, and the three spaces take group bookings and private hire. On Fridays and Saturdays, DJs in period attire play for the late-night crowd. It is one of several Mr Fogg's venues around London, each with a different theme.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the decor and atmosphere, describing vintage interiors, warm lighting and a quirky, eclectic setting where tables hold items for sale and each room looks slightly different. Cocktails come close behind, with diners naming Priceless Heirloom, A Quiet Transaction and Curious Cargo, along with an old fashioned, a mezcal cocktail and the Tea Leaf'd, praising both the taste and the presentation. One reviewer describes a focaccia and gin martini pairing during the tipsy turvy tea, and another mentions a scavenger hunt. Staff are called welcoming and lovely, and one reviewer says the manager explained the history of the place. A couple of reviewers say it is easy to chat, and one finds it well suited to groups of eight to ten, though that reviewer suggests making a reservation because the space is big. One visiting couple stumbled in, came back a couple of nights later, and were given a personal magic show by their server.

“Absolutely loved the atmosphere at Mr Fogg’s Pawnbrokers ✨ Such a unique hidden-gem cocktail bar with beautiful vintage interiors, warm lighting, and amazing attention to detail. We tried Priceless Heirloom, A Quiet Transaction, and Curious Cargo and every cocktail was creative, beautifully balanced, and presented perfectly. The whole place feels like stepping into another world for the evening. Definitely one of the most memorable cocktail experiences in London 🍸🕯️”
