| an atrocious place filled with the lowest of the low-lifes that london has to offer. full of pikey chavs who deem it necessary to hoard the pool table and then start a fight because someone else wants to play. security are godly afraid of these locals and unwilling to keep order. a terrible place fit for only the worst dregs of society. stay well clear. timyu - 16 Aug 2008 16:33 |
| Okay, the Hope has changed over the years from the spit and sawdust dive it used to be, but it still has a lot of the charm it used to have back in the day. The staff are still friendly, the locals are welcoming, and it's one of the few places you can go into when the Gunners are playing at home where you can a) get served, and b) not get offered out or puked on. They seem to have just started doing food again too, and it's a hell of a lot nicer than what they used to serve - sorta classic pub grub but done with a bit of style. I had sausage and mash there last week, and it came in a Yorkshire pud the size of a milk crate! The venue is still a bit of a dive, but then it wouldn't feel the same if it wasn't!

| Have been into this pub twice in the 7 years I have lived in Islington. On both occasions there was a bag snatch. The second time was last night and it happened to my friend.You have been warned sef - 10 Jun 2007 15:48 |
| Staff very rude at closing up time. No warning of last orders so drinking away happily with mates when suddenly we were told we had to leave- immediately. No drinking up time. We were given plastic cups but surely there should be some notice given to allow a few minutes to drink up? As I said above- staff were very rude- one guy in particular, south african I think. Wont be going back there again- couldnt be bothered putting up with that ignorance. yerman - 6 May 2007 15:51 |
