| Excellent pub. Lots of character, roomy, interesting, warm, decorative, good selection of beer (Double Dark was exceptional), excellent music, polite and welcoming barstaff, great food. To be served beer in proper old style mugs was a nice touch, good attention to detail. The food is good albeit limited on choice. The burgers were great but the accompanying chips were out of this world. Not sure I've ever tasted a better chip, brilliant!! Hard to find a fault with this pub as it ticks so many boxes, not least the fact that it's not full of Upper Street bellends. Dylarolla - 11 Nov 2009 12:19 |
| There was a decent selection of ales in here on my recent visit, including SA Gold and Mordue India Pale Ale and also a selection of premium lagers including Lowenbrau, which I’ve not seen for an age. This is a large pub with three separate drinking areas and although I spotted no TVs the jukebox seemed popular and some decent songs were selected. I found the staff to be friendly and the other punters were nice enough creating a good atmosphere. There are a selection of stone baked pizzas available and maybe I will try one next time I'm in the area. Strongers - 11 Sep 2009 09:20 |

| Not being lazy but the review below is pretty much spot on. 3 beers on offer, including one from Mordue brewery (all advertised on a board outside) Close to the excellent Flashback record shop ( +cds !) rob372 - 16 May 2009 12:46 |
| Gets a lot of things right and confirms the feeling that the further you trek from Angel station in Islington, the better the bars and pubs generally become. The skill here has been to tread that wafer thin line between the traditional plus points of an English pub (dark wood, a range of rooms, good ales and a convivial atmosphere) and the more pleasing aspects of trendy De Beauvoir Town artiness (unpretentious 'gastro' food, a fashionable and good looking clientele and a decent juke box) without straying too far into either and thus upsetting nobody. It gets rammedly busy later in the evening but is one of the better recent conversions in London. BoehmBawerk - 5 Apr 2009 11:04 |
