Gigs! Don't gather on the stairs like the rest of the fools, get up the left of the stage and get a great view and breathing room. Rough trade pub quiz on Mondays is a hoot.

Evan Bartlett

Great bourbon selection . They had Van Winkle 20 year, and George T Staggs at alomst 15£, but they also had Blanton's and Bulleit for 3£

Sebastian Metzger

We went there randomly to watch a indie rock concert . Entry fee was reasonable at 8£ for three local somewhat famous bands. Recommended if you are into checking out the London underground rock scene.

Ministry of Waxing

A London music stalwart, The Lexington has in the past played host to bands such as Foals and Peace . It also stocks a fantastic range of craft beers and hosts a regular quiz night by Rough Trade .

Tastebuds

Venue promoter known for booking soon-to-be-big bands early on - and there's a weekly music quiz run by Rough Trade East every Monday too. Multi-pack of crisps for the best team name. Nik Naks please.

Rob Dyson

Fantastic, intimate & lively live music venue upstairs . Great sound. FYI if you're eating in the pub downstairs, avoid the taxidermy corner. It smells of damp dog & puts you off your food.

Stuart Chalmers

Great venue for live music upstairs and nice bar downstairs.

David

Another great London music venue . Reasonable pub food mixed with grunge vibes.

Cyndie Da Rocha

Great staff , whiskey cocktails and music ????

Mag Walczak

Book a table if you like to seat down. Security guy is not the most polite person in the world. Personally I didn't enjoy the place because of crowd but pies are definitely worth trying !

Richard Sugden

Quirky interior makes this an awesome place to hangout. Great alcohol selection as well

Person 5

Cool bar downstairs, intimate music venue upstairs . Check out the gig listings and club nights.

Sacha

Rough Trade music pub quiz every Monday. Don't worry if your musical knowledge is poor; you can still win crisps for the best team name

Kevin McCulley

Nice cozy music venue upstairs , though like most rock clubs gets a bit sweaty once the gigs get going.

John D. Martinez

Pay £5 and ask for their secret jar potion. If you're brave enough take a long sip!

Michaela Watkinson

Cosy rock pub with a friendly atmosphere . They put on lots of gigs here.

TheBigGayAl

Very eclectic mix of live music upstairs. Great range of American beers downstairs.

Righi Travel Like a Local

One of my favourite venues in London, nice downstairs pub too. Avoid the camden hells, £4.50!

BarChick

At the bar downstairs..you’ll drink bourbons you never knew existed: from Fighting Cock to Old Grandad. Just beware the Georgia Moon..which is served by from a jam jar and sold by the swig Read more

Great gigs, amazing selection of american whisky , and fun nights

Annix L.

The pub is spacious and quiet in the afternoon, great simple place.

Gavin

So many beers to try. Also a great intimate music venue .

Marcus Harris

weekday lunch is half price, friday is the flagship indie disco , white light, and try the hirsch bourbon before it goes extinct, pricey but almost life affirming!

Edward Herbert

Good for bands and a relatively chilled out atmosphere. Not bad for another out on the weekend.

Alex Curiel

Very nice bar in Islington. There’s some sort of a night club upstairs

Puppala Dupi

Small intimate rock venue

Tim Ferguson

Of the the 4 Bourbons I've tried, the Eagle Rare 10 (single barrel) followed by the Weller 12.

H K

The food is best avoided, but the drinks are plentiful & well selected!

Ollie Cartwright

Grab a beer before you head upstairs because they only have bottles.

Olive Logie

Excellent live music venue .

Des Leo

Open until late and the music 's great!
