Not a beer drinkers pub, and certainly not the biggest place, but the staff are friendly and know how to make a cocktail quickly - which is a start on many other places I've been to!

Top spot for a post dinner cocktail with bartenders who seem to have a sense of prde in what their doing

I'm not sure which gentlemen's club the previous commenter frequents. I visited this last Friday night and agree that for a late venue in Islington it is better than average. That said, a predictable lack of real ale counts against it and also the music the DJ was playing was pretty terrible. I also slightly objected to paying for entry at 10pm in the evening to what is essentially a glorified pub, although it probably does keep riff-raff out if truth be told. Didn't venture downstairs much although it looked OK.

Great atmosphere - has something of the gentleman's club about it. Gets crowded at weekends.

I liked this place, no real ale but a good atmosphere unlike quite a few other pubs and bars nearby.
