user reviews of the King Edward VI (EDVI), Islington

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

Excellent long running gay pub. Great atmosphere. How the scene used to be before all the pubs were run by chains (Think its the only independent gay run pub in North London). Late opening, good food and friendly people. Try it!

Forget Doctor Who - you can travel back in time to the gay culture of the early 1980s by simply visiting the King Edward VI, where you will experience tacky disco music at top volume, lager and 100% male clientele. In my case, the experience lasted all of 10 seconds.

The upstairs restaurant is great. Really friendly and helpful and the food is lovely.

this used to be the ultimate local gay venue...charming, welcoming staff. The garden still kind of works in the summer despite the awful makeover.

The problem really lies in the fact that this venue now sees itself more a west end bar than a local pub.

This results in loud and pointless house music during the early evening when people are meeting for after work drinks, why is conversation so discouraged?

The bar staff are also some of, it not, the rudest and in the whole of north london.

It's not surprising that the local straight bars are full of gay men... at least they are welcoming.
