Great pub in Islington - good beer selection - the theatre at the back shows alot of really good lgbt theatre and lots of other things like opera - highly recommend this place!
For nearly 50 years this pub has contained a theatre . Currently it is home to an Olivier award winning opera. Beautiful Victorian decor.
Great atmosphere, with the cosy theatre at the back. The Opera Up Close take on Die Fledermaus is brilliant and deserves more than the Telegraph's two stars.
Reasonably priced beer for the area. Was here to see a show out the back. Intimate venue where you can really feel involved in whatever is being performed . Friendly staff throughout the venue.
Pub that's open late (at least 1 am), great selection of cask-conditioned ales and wines , live music most nights, a small theatre in the back, free wireless, comfy chairs , and superb ambiance.
Beer , wine , atmosphere and excellent live theatre that depends on talent vs sets. #excellent
Great fringe theatre in the heart of Islington. Usually GLBT themed. Quite small so it can get hot inside, dress lightly.
I've been having so much fun here since i discovered it on 2007. Live music , great atmosphere, theatre in the back... Love it!
Live music on the weekend. Relaxed atmosphere . A real fireplace makes it extra cozy in a rainy day.
Great place to spend a Sunday night. Start with the theater and stay for the live music . Great atmosphere with lots of old pictures and working fireplaces
Great intimate theatre with good plays and cheap prices.
Great place- cool theatre and very good live stuff. Artsy types and festival goers all around, but still a great place for a pint.
Great pub with a non-pretentious atmosphere in Angel!
A definite must. But not in hot weather. Friendly staff and good beer .
We called up this morning to book enough space for 16 people. When we arrived, we were pointed at a table for two with a shrug. Really poor customer service that put a dampened on a 30th birthday.
Great pub , the live jazz bands are superb
Great little theatre and good live music afterwards in the pub
Brilliant pub and great theatre
The Christmas Panto (Pinocchio) is a great laugh
The Shirt Tail Stompers on Wednesday night are amazing!
Check out the amazing ancient cash register at the back of the bar - awesome!
Live music on a Sunday night with a happy crowd dancing away, what more can you ask for?
Nice pub , good atmosphere
Cool pub , cold beer , great plays!
Reliable venue to be allowed entry when other places won't let you. Be warned though they draw the line at sleeping at the bar .
It's cool, but all the lights are on, it feels like it's closing time
Check out opera up close ... So amazing!
Lots of drunk and willing girls on Mondays
One of the place that i will.miss when i go back to my country
Just saw trainspotting , good!
£7.10 for 2 orange and sodas here...
There is a great band
Wifi password is Islington
The live music is good fun here late on. Just a quiet beer for me today tho'.
Great little theatre but the bar is full of pretentious cunts.
Open mic on Mondays. Very chilled.
The female bouncer who works on Saturday may be the most unhelpful and unfriendly "woman" I have ever encountered. Avoid her at all costs.
Todas las cervezas , shots buenisimas
Interesting eclectic decor. Lots of cosy places to sit with big and small tables, and nooks. Great pub to watch the football or rugby at. Delicious Thai food ???????? - Chloe P
Lovely pub with very large beer selection, including a gluten-free pale ale. - Pete Marcus
Worth going for the music and to see the bras but gets very packed - Hayley Miller
Killer burger, fries, and pint deal on the weekdays between 12-6pm! Cozy space and friendly staff! - Sam Licker
