So-so bar on Upper Street. Nothing really stands out, but there's always plenty of room.

Wretchedly hip style bar. Utterly unmemorable and not one to go to if you actually want to taste a decent beer.

Sure it looks pretty, but:
1) short pints
2) cocktails and spirits drowned in ice and mixer
3) more bouncers than bar staff (both equally surly though - all attitude and no service).
4) nowhere to sit, no atmosphere and unsurprisingly
5) very few customers.

In short - avoid.

Walked past on Friday during the day and it was busy, why arent people at work?! Went in for a pint with a mate and ended up staying all night. Its smaller than I thought but my mate says there is an upstairs. Urinals are interesting! Unfortunately its got none of the wino-cum-violent-husbands you see huddling together in Weatherspoons; talking about Mylene Klass. Added to this was the disappointing lack of pool table, dart board and fulminating jukebox spewing out Madness: Greatest Hits.

Everyone seems to drink cocktails here, another sign of the money people seem to have despite not working on Fridays. :-(

Nice. First went to this pub after a match up the road, and although there were a few of my fellow fans there, the atmosphere didn't suffer at all. Interesting decor, OK-ish beers (if you like lager) and decent staff. Big thumbs up.
