Grand Union, Kentish Town - pub details

Description

Grand Union Kentish Town is a spacious bar split in two levels. The upper bar is lavishly decorated with vintage furniture and lamps, with plenty of quirky pictures covering the walls giving a stylish yet relaxed feel. It' perfect for intimate drinks or party bookings; we can set you an area aside for the evening.

The basement gig room is perfect for private functions or larger parties as it has its own bar, a great sound system and can hold up to 150 people. The room is free to hire; just speak to the manager to see what dates are available. The large outside drinking area is ideal for enjoying lunch or evening drinks in the sun.

user reviews of Grand Union, Kentish Town

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Visited the pub several times and enjoyed the experience.
That is until the night of Wed 14th Dec.I went to the bar for another drink
but was told it was too late.I looked at the clock behind the bar and it said
just 22.40! So I asked why it was they were shutting 20 mins before 11pm
and the barmaid said it was to give us drinking up time! I pointed out that the
drinking up time comes AFTER 11pm for,I believe,ten minutes. But she wouldn't
budge and was neither apologetic or sympathetic and this is the week before
Xmas,too. I would think twice before returning there again.

Is that your policy to shut when it suits? I doubt it.

It's a shame because it put a damper on my evening and that of several friends.
