The Thin White Duke is a cocktail bar and creative venue at 22B Great Windmill Street in Soho. Its intimate interior combines a public bar with professional recording studios, connecting drinks, food and music within one distinctive central London setting.
Cocktails created by Dav Eames are at the heart of the bar, with inventive house recipes sharing the list with carefully made classics. Sake selected by Masayo Nuttall, wine, beer and alcohol free drinks provide alternatives for different tastes and occasions.
The food comes from MAI and centres on dim sum, giving the bar a substantive menu of small plates that can be shared across the table. Dumplings and accompanying dishes are suited to grazing with drinks as well as building into a relaxed meal.
Reservations help secure a table in the compact room, while private hire can bring the bar and its musical identity together for an event. Diners with allergies or dietary requirements should check the current dim sum menu and discuss ingredients and preparation with the team before ordering.
