| This is one of my favourite pubs in the world. I moved to Islington about a year ago with great plans to explore all the local pubs and then stumbled accross the MP (I like to abreviate it now) and felt no need to find anywhere else. The bar staff are wonderful, always up for a chat during the week and calm and friendly if a little harrased on busy days. The music is great, there's a pool table and darts board. The odd spontaneous game of killer pool that breaks out is always entertaining. The customers are friendly, the type of place where you chat to people you don't know rather than view them with suspicion. It's not fancy, but if you want a fancy wine bar with gleaming bars and attentive staff being fakely polite serving you, there are plenty of bland generic places on Upper Street.

| Atmosphere, music and the staff = awesome. It used to be my local before I moved out of Islington and I recommend this place to everyone with taste for music and friendly atmosphere. My experience with the staff was always to my full satisfaction because I love the unofficial manners and humour, which was always the case of Mucky. That's why I've decided to share my opinions, because of some of the previous reviews might mislead people that had never been in. First – an objective person that is qualified to judge other's behaviour, including “quite aggressive” wouldn't make an effort to complain about getting what he or she wanted. Second - complaining about a bar person who kept serving despite he needed to go to the loo sounds also like very subjective and twisted point of view. I used to work in bars myself back in the days and I remember how crazy things can go when you're busy people wait for their drinks. Yes – the staff is there to serve the customers but if those orders take ages – it delays the others to be served faster. It would therefore make sense if everyone ordered fast – especially if the bar is packed as the landlord described later. I mean – if a barman needs to go to the toilet (as suggested in one of the previous reviews) and served the long-waiting customer before doing so – does it mean that he ignored the customer or his physical needs at the time? Common people - stop whinging and get over yourselves - Mucky is great and the staff is excellent! Ben70 - 22 Nov 2011 21:43 |
| This pub is awesome! Has a great atmophere and has a brilliant jukebox which is free! The staff are always friendly and smiley and very polite. Any people who have whinged in the below comments should go back to the slug and lettuce or weatherspoons where they belong! niaoz72 - 30 May 2011 00:47 |
| Visited again at the weekend. Still no 'Up the Junction' on the juke box. FreeBornJack - 26 Apr 2011 21:04 |
| I like this place, especially the free juke box. Imagine my disappointment when I went in there last night and the juke box was out-of-action because some fella with a laptop wanted to play his favourite tunes. An unpleasant surprise. He didn't even have Squeeze's 'Up the Junction' on his laptop! FreeBornJack - 23 Jan 2011 09:40 |
