The Highbury Barn, Islington

I was amazed at the progress this bar has made in just a short while. The staff and management make you feel right at home and are very welcoming. The food offering is on a par with any decent gastro pub north of the river. The fit out is pretty amazing, an incredible turn around from the magnolia covered walls of old. My family and I went there for the football last saturday and the atmosphere of old is still there, thankfully, but the fine dining offering in the back area allowed the family to relax and eat before we went to the stadium. Well worth a visit if you enjoy a nice cold one in good surroundings.
