Soho hotel bar meets New York steak lounge...
First off, it may look old and well worn but The Dean Street Townhouse is no such thing. It is refurbished to look like a retro, Madison Avenue style steak bar and pulls off the swindle with aplomb. Expect to find all the dark red leather, mahogany, chandeliers and picture frame clusters a person can handle. It is stylish, chic and achingly aspirational (we want to stay upstairs – bad).
After enjoying no fewer than two rye Old Fashioneds each at the bar – walk-ins mean a wait to be seated – we pull up our seats at one of the pristine, white clothed tables. The menu is a fashionably modern take on British classics, which means mince and potatoes, chicken and mushroom pie and fish and chips. We opt for the rib-eye steak with fat chips and béarnaise. And… it’s steak, what can we say? Okay, what we can say is that it is very good steak, cooked perfectly on the rare side of medium-rare with a salty crust. We knew it would be good and it was.
Along with the steak we taste the kale, Stilton and walnut salad. Dressed up on the plate it looks – and tastes – like more than the sum of its parts.
A meal for two with cocktails as a starter and a reasonable bottle of house Merlot comes to just over £100. And reclining on red leather stools with drinks at the bar, tucking up in a dim corner under atmospheric lighting and absorbing the palpable Soho buzz makes that a fair price to pay for the pleasurre.

Restaurants that serve a great brunch
Sit back, loosen your belt and tuck into about the best thing our US cousins have ever given us.
This stylish diner is owned by the Soho House Group, but it feels sleeker and cosier than its more exclusive relatives Shoreditch House and Soho House. The food is British and the bar opens early so you can enjoy a tipple or two with brunch.
Great places to enjoy breakfast in London
It's the most important meal of the day, so they say, so why not make it a ruddy good one?
Stylish and hip, the breakfasts at this eatery owned by the Soho House group are highly satisfying, ranging from the indulgent (ham hock hash with fried duck egg) to the healthy (poached rhubarb with Greek yoghurt).

Pretty walls and pretty plates
Next time you're at Dean Street Townhouse take a close look at the wallpaper. The graceful design of leaves and flowers is made up pornographic images, specifically, lady parts. Jonathan Yeo is the artist, also known for using this cut-up technique in his portrait of George W Bush.

STAFF HELPED US. VERY FRIENDLY SERVICE, STAFF WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND! A friend and I visited the hotel last night at around 9pm after being shaken up by an issue we had in another venue a few minutes before. We were looking for a safe space to recompose. The receptionist saw that we were not feeling great and offered us the hotel's bar service in the lounge and gave us water. It really helped considering what we had gone through before. After and hour we were ready to leave and the receptionist checked whether we were ok and offered us some seating outside and bar service if we needed more time. I want to offer my greatest thanks to the receptionist and will definitely be booking this hotel and visiting the bar in the future.
