Well this is now just a wetherspoons instead of a lloyds no1 but it is still crap , the worst spoon in the borough of Islington .

Great Prices but unfortunately the service left me with wanting a bit more.
Got there at quarter to three on a Tuesday and chose their excellent steak club meal. Unfortunately when ordering at the bar at 14.55, I was told it didnt start til 3pm so I was made to stand at the bar for 5 mins until 3 pm....Not very good considering there were next to no one in the pub so I cant imagine the kitchen was busy
Food was ok but not the best.
Came back for a beer prior to the gig I was going to at The Academy downstairs and it was a lot better...better service and a better atmosphere.
Shame about my lunch......

Would have been a top notch visit had it not been for the overlong wait at the bar to be served.
Lots of staff Ending and starting shifts but none actually serving except one girl- Bah!
Maybe Thursdays at about 5pm should be avoided then.....

This modern shopping mall Lloyds Bar has, on the face of it, very little appeal. It is generally fairly quiet by day but gets more clubby in the evenings when the loud music kicks in. The faceless interior has a sunken level at the front with the now obligatory sofas, low tables and modern artwork although it looks like the multiple TV’s have been toned down as they were not as “in your face” as I recall from previous visits. The big plus on my recent trip is that they have doubled the number of hand pumps to 6 with 3 guests alongside the staple Ruddles County, Abbott and Marcle Hill Cider. Unfortunately it is a lucky draw as to how many will have the “Available Soon” clip attached. Prices are cheaper than most central London ‘Spoons (guest ales £1.89 – most are over £2 including the nearby Angel). Whilst it may have shown some signs of improvement, the music is still annoyingly rubbish and overall it is still a pretty dull place to visit. I certainly couldn’t make a long night of the place.
