| On a Good Friday visit, we were treated to an astonishing display of prog rock over the tannoy starting with Led Zeppelin and the Floyd and regressing (if that seems possible) to Phil Collins - maybe Steven Gerrard was in that day? It seems that some severely hungover minor bar staff had hijacked the music policy and normal service was restored once the head barwoman had appeared. Not bad at all - somewhere between a gastropub (albiet only in clientele rather than culinary terms) and a proper drinking den, housed in a grand building on a corner. I wouldn't say this was in Islington though: this is a De Beauvoir Town boozer. BoehmBawerk - 14 Apr 2009 21:59 |
| A particularly good all-rounder, seemingly catering to a real mix of locals. Usual beer range but Pride was really good. NB The Northgate was closed, on Christmas Eve, which probably says something about it's customer base. mtaylor40 - 25 Dec 2008 00:13 |
| nice enough pub, shame about the food. the beer's ok but the food is terrible - and with more than half of the pub given over to dining that's inexcusable. i've eaten there three times and if it's been cooked it tastes burnt - burger, steak, even bread. i complained on the first two ocassions but it didn't seem to make a difference so i didn't even bother last time. i can only assume that the chef rarely, if ever at all, cleans his grill. if you're thinking of going here i suggest you go to the talbot (25ms away)instead. decent food, better beer and the building itself is just as nice. oh, and i don't work in, own or have anything to do with the talbot! hugoshere - 5 Aug 2008 14:00 |
| Early doors when I visited so can't comment on the pub goers but liked the pub. The beers were good, the pub was nice and roomy, the barstaff very friendly. They were setting up for evening meals when I went in - the menu looked good. Will go back and try the food soon. ofrex - 29 Jan 2008 09:09 |
| i really like the fact they have kept a sports room and pool table, something you don't see much these days in revamped pubs. i remember it before, looked like an 80s youth club. much better now. still a bit of 80s brickwork on show but it kind of works. havn't tried the food yet, looks good though. firestarter - 13 Nov 2007 22:07 |
