Mr Fogg’s Pawnbrokers

Phileas Fogg’s wayward half-brother, Frank Fogg, takes the helm of this adventurous new Soho cocktail bar. Capitalising on the family name, Frank (once a pawnbroker by trade), has opened the doors to his newly-acquired Victorian shop, selling a bizarre display of unique artefacts collected from around the world. Spot the three golden spheres hanging above 50 Dean Street, peek into the large bay window displaying wares ‘for sale’, and step inside to find three incredibly unique spaces: The Pawnbrokers Counter, The Strong Room & The Textiles Room. With a large wooden bar and tables made into glass-fronted display cabinets, guests can sip and enjoy cocktails served inside miscellaneous objects. Imagine a curious wall of clocks, a ceiling of mismatched light fixtures, outlandish Victorian erotica and other such commodities.

With a cocktail list inspired by the rich history of Victorian London, peruse a minuscule-printed menu via a magnifying jewellers’ loupe, previously used by pawnbrokers to value precious goods. Savour an eclectic collection of cocktails served in a vast array of old antiques, from fancy Fabergé eggs to punch bowls and vases.

Follow in the footsteps of Phileas J. Fogg and embark on a thrilling treasure hunt-style cocktail adventure, where excitement awaits at every turn. With the clock ticking and guided by Mr Fogg himself, you will crack cryptic conundrums and unravel the mysteries that lie in wait along this trail of discovery, with a mystery prize for the winners.

Embark on a two hour afternoon adventure for £40pp, featuring three crafted cocktails, alongside a bite-sized selection of canapé-style sandwiches, scones and macarons—all perfectly paired for your delight: Step inside Mr Fogg’s Pawnbrokers, where each Saturday afternoon, a curious tea-time journey awaits. Here, cocktails masquerade as mini sandwiches, and nibbles transform into the finest libations. What you sip, you’ll taste as a bite, and what you eat, you’ll drink. Nothing is quite as it seems!
