Dirty Dicks.
There is within Bishopsgate Street Without a very well-known and curious sort of tavern. The original "licensed" name I never knew, but its name of " Dirty Dick's " was well merited by its appearance.
To this place hangs a tale. The name of " Dirty Dick's," it would appear, was originally given to the residence, warehouse, and offices of one Richard Bentley. Mr. Bentley was a very original and eccentric character, who died, possessed of considerable wealth, as long ago as 1804. During his lifetime his neighbours urged him frequently to clean, point, and paint the front of his house, for his dirty looking building was no credit to the street. He invariably refused, and his office and warehouse were known by everyone who did business there as the Dirty Warehouse and he as Dirty Dick.
The Dirty Dick's of Bishopsgate Street was originally only the " tap " to a wholesale wine and spirit merchant's premises. It was, in fact, the warehouse. There were no floor boards in the cellar, which was only some two steps down from the street level ; and there were no ceilings under the rafters supporting the floor boards overhead. It was never cleaned, whitewashed, or done anything to in any way. The rats, mice, and spiders had happy and unmolested quarters there ; and it was allowed to get into the dirty, dilapidated state in which it was when first I knew it, and well merited the very appropriate name transferred to it. One thing, however, there was that attracted customers to the place, in spite of its state of mildew, cobwebs, and dirt: good liquor was served.
The modern invitation to a friend to have a drink, of " Name your poison, dear boy," was quite inappropriate here, for whatever the outsides of the casks and bottles may have looked like, the insides and their contents were all right. No doubt that when it was opened as a " tap," the proprietor was a dry sort of fellow, and an independent one to boot. He liked his joke, chose to be " boss of his own show," for a number of painted pithy notice-boards were placed in the bar — if the place where the wine was served merited that name.
One was, "No smoking permitted." This was quite right, for the wines had a bouquet of rare quality, which the fumes of an ordinary " two-penny smoke," to say nothing of a pipe of "shag," would have polluted and destroyed.
Another was, " No improper language permitted." If a few more houses in this present day would place placards to this effect in their bars, it would be just as well ; not only at the East End of London, but in some of the swellest of swell bars between Fleet Street and Hyde Park Corner, where the Upper Circle Johnnies frequent, to meet a friend and spoon the young Hebes of the Bar, " don't cher know."
Another of these quaint notices was as follows : —
"Our shop being small, difficulty frequently arises
In supplying customers. Please, therefore,
When you are in a place of business,
Transact your business
And go about your business."
The most important and unusual notice, how-ever, was as follows : " No man can be served twice."
Considering how good everything was, and how one glass of good old port wine called beseechingly for another, this announcement was, to say the least, both strange and provoking. One was inclined to feel like the Yankee Senator, who always, when he came down his hotel stairs to the bar, had two cocktails. A friend of his, Colonel Stokes — they are all either colonels, senators, or judges in the States — asked; "Senator, can't you tone up with one cocktail?" "Wall, colon'l, it's just this — when I take one cocktail it makes me feel quite another man ; and I feel bound, as a gentleman, to treat that other man, to another cocktail."
The rule, according to Dirty Dick's notice, like many more rules, and even Acts of Parliament, was to be easily evaded if one only knew how. Customers who relished the old port and brown sherry surmounted the difficulty in a very simple way : they quietly walked outside and returned by another door. That satisfied the conscience of the servers at the bar, who in their turn, satisfied the request of the newly entered customers for another — no, not another glass, but " one similar to that supplied to the gentleman who just went out."
When the present house was erected on the site of the old one it retained, or rather tried to retain, the old name of " Dirty Dick's." But it was so transmogrified, so utterly different from the original shop, that it soon became known as " Clean Richard's." They still keep the old mummies of a dead cat, a few ditto rats, and some specimens of cobwebs ; but it won't do. In spite of all these mementoes, the place is Dirty Dick's no longer, but " Clean Richard's " — at any rate, to old customers who knew it years ago. The business remained in the same family for about 150 years, and only changed hands about four or five years ago.
It is now owned by a well-known Mark Lane wine and spirit merchant. The old wine and spirit vaults are still in existence, but the venerable cob-webs with which the place was festooned were, of necessity, somewhat rudely displaced during the rebuilding of the front and upper portion of the premises in 1870, when they were condemned and partially pulled down by order of the City authorities. The ceiling and walls of the shop are, however, still preserved.
Of late years there has been related and printed a legend that the place was shut up for many years, on account of the bride of its owner dying suddenly in the morning of what was to have been their wedding day, but it is utterly unworthy of credence for one moment. Quite similar legends are attached to some score of old country houses, particularly in the West of England. Tales of a similar character have been embodied in works of fiction over and over again, from Charles Dickens and Wilkie Collins to the numerous writers of Penny Dreadfuls ad nauseam, and arc now quite played out.
There once stood on the same side of the road as Dirty Dick's another of the old coaching hotels. The name remains in the " person," if I may so express it, of a public-house, the Catherine Wheel. Further towards Leadenhall Street was an old house well known in its day by its curious name — The Magpie and Punch Bowl ; but, like many more houses of the same kind, the old sign has gone under and become lost. The place is now known only by the name of its proprietor or Landlord. It is probable that one might inquire of many people in the street — even of a policeman — for the Magpie and Punch Bowl, and none would be able to tell him. Let him ask, however, for Finch's, and his very first inquiry will be answered by his being pointed to the corner of Clark's Place.
This is a famous pub, largely through its name. The pub was originally called the Old Jerusalem and was renamed Dirty Dick’s in 1814.The history suggests that it was just a wine bar (historically) for much of its life! The current address places it at the corner of Sweedland Court, and this has not changed since at least the 1850s, although the address has, being originallly at '48 & 49 Bishopsgate Street without' in 1882, and at 202 by 1915; it has always been a few doors away from the Woodins Shades.
In 1915 & 1921, for example, the wine bar is number 202, at the corner of Sweedland Court; Middlesex Street is at 210; Catherine Wheel Alley is at 194, and the Woodins Shades is at 212. The 1921 directory includes DD's as part of the name - Dirty Dicks! This is a Youngs pub in 2017.

Nags Head and Panama City are currently open 7 days a week, 11:00am - 8:00pm!
Avon, NC is currently closed,
but will re-open for the 2021 season on March 15th.
Ken Hersey is the founder of Dirty Dick's Crab House with his partners, Beany Macgregor and Jack Frestel. It has been a busy year for the Dirty Dick’s Crew,
opening up a new Nags head location (site of the old Slammin’Sammy’s) and the Big news is they ended their lease in Avon NC and have just completed construction of a beautiful new Restaurant! (That means no more dining in a tent in the hot OBX Summer!)
Dirty Dick’s Crab House is the Brain Child of Northern Virginia Native Ken Hersey. Ken had a longtime career as a building Builder/Developer in the Washington, D.C. area, but during a vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina he had an idea. "Crabs are a summer tradition in the D.C. and Maryland area but in the Outer Banks there was no local market for them. I thought, tongue in cheek, that 'One day I'll come here and open a crab house.' I told my friend, Dick, 'Wouldn't it be funny to open a crab house and call it Dirty Dick's Crab House?' I sat on that idea for 25 years."
In 1995 Hersey decided he wanted a career other than contracting, so with a handful of dollar bills in his pocket, he moved to Kill Devil Hills, rented a small room over someone’s garage, and opened his crab shack. It was a small carry out on the beach road @ mile post 9. By April of that year it was nearly ready to open. Ken has a knack for retail merchandising and this little few hundred sq.ft store had people buzzing. People were knocking on the windows to see if they could buy the t-shirts he had creatively displayed in the windows before we even opened for business. "We sold bushels of crabs and pounds of shrimp and these T-shirts, and the shirts took off!" Hersey said.
With the success of this Carry out, Ken decided that sit down restaurant is what was needed. He scoured the OBX for an available restaurant location and found a perfect spot in Avon. It wasn’t very big, but it had everything he needed, even an apartment upstairs! Being small, He had to have a place to sell the increasingly famous “I got my crabs from Dirty Dick’s ) T-shirts and assortment of Dirty Dick’s merchandise. He decided to have a specially designed retail shed built to showcase and sell the merchandise. This proved to be highly successful and was soon selling hats and t-shirts to everybody who visited the Avon Pier.
This restaurant was becoming so popular, that it was not unusual to have customers in line for over an hour waiting to get in. Something had to be done; so they built the covered patio seating area off the back. This seating area met with some mixed reviews but it sure beat waiting an hour to get in.
The Concept was working! Great seafood, served fresh, and with just a little bit of risque’ had a place at the OBX , so when a more than 200-seat restaurant became available in Kill Devil Hills, Hersey took it. That was in 2001, and that's also when Beany Macgregor joined the Dirty Dick's partnership. Macgregor, a New Orleans native, with a face that may be familiar to some of you as he had many guest Chef appearances on Network Morning shows such as Regis and Cathy Lee. He has also had much experience opening new restaurants: he launched 87 Planet Hollywoods in 27 countries; So if you see him at one of our locations, I’m sure he has some stories to tell about rubbing elbows with the STARS! Having multiple locations is much trickier than running a small carryout, so Jack Frestel brings his own unique business experience: he was the senior vice-president at U.S. Airways. So with business experts on board, the Kill Devil Hills location flourished. Since then they have opened a Dirty Dick's in Panama City, Fla.
"We have a funny name and a great business," he said. "We have a risque little name, but we hardly ever get complaints about it. We might do 1,000 covers a night in Panama City, and 250 of them will be children." Families are welcome at Dirty Dick's, and children get their meals served on Frisbees they get to keep. An especially popular children's beverage, Hersey said, is the Shark Attack where a small vial of grenadine is attached to a cup of Seven-Up. Children dump the grenadine in the soda and watch the red "blood" spread throughout the drink.
Adults can look forward to a menu full of fresh seafood. Hersey assures that all food is prepped on-site, and Macgregor emphasizes they use American wild-caught shrimp and, "...no frozen fish. If it's not fresh we don't have it that day."
The complete menu is now on the Dirty Dick's web site; the new menu is much lengthier and includes "REAL & FRESH" Grouper Filets (market price), Flounder ($22 for a platter), Fried Frog Legs, Crab Cakes (2 for $19), Creole Stuffed Crabs, Jumbo Stuffed Shrimp and Lump Crab Au Gratin with Shrimp and Mushrooms. They'll also have Scallop Cakes, Shrimp and Grits, Linguine and Clams, Ranch Pork Chops, Braised Ham Shanks, Barbecue Smoked Chicken and Chicken Etouffe’.
Dirty Dick's will be open for lunch serving a variety of sandwiches such as po-boys, wraps, burgers, Crab Melt and Seafood Muffaletta. Lunch entrees include Fish Tacos, Steak Kabob, Red Beans and Rice and Dixie Chicken where tenderloins are grilled, brushed with pepper jelly vinaigrette, topped with applewood smoked bacon and blue cheese, and served with cheese corn grits.
