This is such a fantastic venue - particularly if you enjoy live music and theatre as it offers both and at great prices!

In the pub, there's a great atmosphere and friendly service from the bar staff and the prices are good for Islington which for the past few years has become one of the places to be and is often far too overpriced. The layout is warm and welcoming and there's usually a...more

I have been here a couple of times to get a drink and also watch the opera version of Edgar Allan Poe's the Raven.
