| Have been twice now, is not bad as long as you can get a table or reserve some space upstairs. Can get quite crowded around the bar but if you have a good strategy you shouldn't have to wait long. According to their complimentary match box: No techno No house No girls aloud yes that's right, their music sucked :) BazzApfle - 25 Feb 2008 19:51 |
| Went here early on a Saturday night and had some good cocktails. Then off to dinner. When we came back a "queue" had formed with 2 bouncers a girl with a "list". When we got to the front, we were told it would be quite a wait because they were very busy (even though you could see it was half empty inside). When we started to walk away (leaving them with no "queue") the tone changed to - "Oh no, it won't be that long". So if you like that kind of stuff, it's not a bad pub. Personally, I'd say go somewhere else. What's the umlaut above the e in lodge as well? All signs point to pretentious prats. jlm9802 - 10 Feb 2008 15:38 |
| Great looking place in both decor and clientele. Good range of beers, wine list is strong and cocktails well made. Staff can be a bit slow to serve you on Saturdays when you've clearly been standing there 10 mins waiting to order, but this isn't always the case. The DJ's mix eclectic, punchy, very Islington tunes which get the floor moving. Food is good for the price bracket and I've never had problems with the service. Get involved... owenontour - 24 Nov 2007 19:17 |

| As a resident of Angel I have never, until last night, been to Keston Lodge before. And I never will again. A bar and restaurant that boasts ‘waitress service is back’ should surely provide a decent waitress service. We were a table of four people on a mildly busy Thursday evening. One of our starters was forgotten and the waitress (or any other waitress) was nowhere to be seen until the other starter plates were cleared. When this was mentioned to the waitress it was met with excuses like ‘You, said you didn’t want a starter’ and ‘We are very busy’. No main course plates or empty glasses were cleared. We ended up collecting our first bottle of wine from the bar downstairs. The food was average. Maybe it’s a nice place to have a few drinks in the evening but I’d never go back there to find out. Rubbish! James23 - 20 Apr 2007 10:28 |
