| Large pub near Angel with a gig venue. Seems to cater for the music crowd as the jukebox is pretty comprehensive and varied. Could do with being turned down slightly though as it was difficult to make conversation. No ale on when I visited with both pump clips turned around although the Brooklyn lager was perfectly acceptable. DuchyBoy - 20 Apr 2011 11:43 |
| Large pub with music upstairs - glam nights some Saturdays! to get your fix of The Sweet, etc, which attracts a varied fanbase. Clearly very crowded downstairs - you kind of develop crowd navigation skills. At least people are polite if you are. Beer is various foreign beers but also some Sambrook's ales in cask, which was pleasant and £3.50 a pint - yes I know, but that's London prices and considering the place doubles as a club, not too bad at all. Apparently the massproduced cider available upstairs is a lot more than that. rainlight - 6 Feb 2011 11:35 |
| I haven't much to add to the previous posters except to that if I'm in there, I'll be drinking the bourbon at least. Pretty busy when I visited on a Saturday night, but the music was enjoyable - an eclectic mix of forgotten indie and rock tunes from the last 40 years or so. I'll probably come back if I find myself in this part of town again. Luongo - 2 Feb 2011 19:46 |
| American themed bourbon bar with a very nice music venue upstairs. As mentioned by other reviewers they do have a very impressive range of bourbons (and a few other very interesting whiskeys). They have also made a significant effort in sourcing American beers. Starting with the more "typical" - Sierra Nevada on draught, and bottles like Anchor Steam, Brooklyn and Goose Island. But also some of the more "specialty" beers from Flying Dog, Rogue and Saranac. None of them cheap (mostly around £4/bottle, 4.50 for a pint of sierra nevada) but I appreciate the effort. A couple of token cask ales (Pride/Spitfire) as well. Average food, mostly of an American/Mexican style (burgers + sweet potato chips; burritos; chili; wings). The music venue upstairs is a good room - nicely proportioned for live music and in my experience they do a good job with the sound. Upstairs bar has a very limited selection vs. downstairs. dpv - 25 Jan 2010 15:04 |
| Great gig venue upstairs but be careful of the clientele - had my ipod nicked in here. BobsHarmonica - 26 Nov 2009 18:19 |
