Now called the vineyard it has had a facelift. Bar is cleaner and nicer. Food is fried fodder of no real impact. Toilets no longer stink, but the actual toilet bowls are still the same, very low and one of the doors doesnt lock in the ladies...We asked for the white wine on offer and was told it was not on - when we asked if there was an alternative we were told no, so at £15 for the cheapest bottle we left!

An Upper Street mainstay. Even though the place isn't in any tangible way 'good', you so often seem to end up here, or at least pop in on your way to somewhere else. Even when the only table you can get is right outside the stinky toilets at the back.

I stopped in here on saturday morning/lunch time. Friendly staff ok selection of drinks. Food is typical pub grub. I was impressed with this pub until I went to the toilet. They are a disgrace no soap, smelly urinals, big holes in the wall and it looks like the ceiling is about to cave in. Sort your bogs out please as its spoiling a good pub.

Went as part of a group. Host had booked for 20 people and told management we would be eating meals. We arrived to one table capable of seating just six people. Management informed us we could only order platters not meals as the chef couldn't cope with twenty orders and was going to shut the kitchen as he was 'stressed'. When ordering drinks from the bar, three staff including the manager were 'restocking', leaving just one staff member to serve. I waited twenty minutes for a vodka and lemonade. The ladies; one was blocked, the second filthy and the third had no lock.
The actual bar seemed nice, and the only downside to the beer garden was that the path in and out was completely blocked by nicotine starved addicts.
Based on the above, I wouldn't go back

Hi all!, was out last Saturday wandering the streets of Islington trying to find a place with life and atmosphere.. very hard on Upper St in Jan, well went into 3 or 4 bars and then found The Garden. What a great night! apparently it was quieter than normal, however the staff were really friendly and fun,got tipsy on wine and the DJ kept us entertained all night. what more could you ask for without a door charge... will be back, Thank you garden for a brill time x Em.
