| What a great pub - I agree with Beefy 71 about the time warp part but it's great. I wish I lived nearer as I would make it my local. The staff are friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They had all the drinks that the party that I was with required (no mean feat as some of the drinks were a little obscure). I will certainly visit each time I go to Islington. port - 18 Aug 2008 18:09 |
| Got to agree with the previous poster about the friendly atmosphere in here. It is like being in a bit of a time warp, but, in a good way! BEEFY71 - 24 Apr 2008 14:27 |
| A very friendly place where you are made to feel like one of the family even on your first visit. A good mix of locals and visitors and exceptional service make this the ideal place to come when visiting Islington. The drinks are good too :-) anonymous - 30 Jun 2007 10:38 |
| What can I say about the Shakespeare's Head - Well lots. It's a great little pub with lots of atmosphere. A friend of mine always says that its as relaxing as sitting in your own front room, but you can star spot as there is usually some famous face or another who either live in the area or have popped in from the nearby Saddlers Wells. Jason and his staff always great you with a freindly smile and go out of their way to provide you with what you want. If you are in the area you must pop in for one of Michael's toasted Ham & Cheese sandwiches which are the best in the world. If your visiting the nearby Saddlers Wells why not go along and order your interval drinks here and check out this little gem. Akkers - 18 Apr 2007 08:16 |
