| Looks like a neat pub by the underground. Was showing live football. Also the buffalo bar which has live music is just next door. aleman - 18 Apr 2008 20:14 |
| One of the worst choices for a drink in Islington, but it's near the station and so easy to meeet people here. Saying that, the nearby Wetherspoon's is a better choice - and not often you can say that! Greshon - 11 Mar 2008 00:13 |
| I've just finished a sixteen month stint working at the famous cock and have to say its not all that bad! Granted its a little rough around the edges and needs a refurb (to my knoledge its getting one this spring)but while i was there we had some really great barstaff, kept the real ales in good condition and the food was far better than most places in the area. Yes we had a few bags snatched and wallets stolen but HELLO its highbury corner and next to a tube station!!! I was the person that found anonymous's wallet in the ladies loo cistern, it was soaking wet, contained no money or i.d so yes it probably got thrown away! The management and staff are not responsible for peoples belongings. In ten years of living and drinking in central london pubs I have never lost a bag or a wallet no matter how drunk i've been, yes im lucky but i also keep my things safe. You'd be amazed how many people would go outside for a fag or go to the loo and leave phones and bags unnatended, which in my opinion is crazy. Highbury corner like many places in london has more than its fair share of theives and chancers and crime is rife. Its a shame most people only ever comment on bad experiences as we had many a happy satisfied customer. As for rampentwurzel, seems like your just jumping on the bandwagon of the previous comments.

| Not sure this is the place tyo p[ost this but here goes. This review is about the Venue beneth the cock, boogaloo?! A good little venue, well set out with a good barmaid However. Why is it that venues liek these only sell Lager?! It's all bottled beer here(no Draught) so why not get some Newky brown or Bottles of Draught Guinness in|? It really did ruin my nioght here on Sunday.I cant understand it tottenhamsean - 25 Sep 2007 09:55 |
