Good Beer Guide pub in Islington, near Angel Station and just off City Road.
It's quite small inside; the tables in one room are quite close together, and on the Thursday evening of Bob's November 2007 visit the area round the bar was packed.
Landlord was well-kept, and cost £2.90/pint. They had a Deuchars on as well. (As of April 2008, Stonch's Beer Blog reports that they now have Dark Star Hophead as their house beer.)
Food is rather interesting, in a gastropubby kind of way. The menu is written up on blackboards. There are mains and desserts as well as a range of bar snacks/starters, e.g hummous and toast, and it presumably changes quite regularly. They have wasabi peas. Shepherds pie with a salad was £9.50, and was very tasty. The salad was dressed very well.
Free wireless with no faff.
On Ewan's visit on a Sunday lunchtime in April 2008, the place was quite full and getting fuller, though there was a small table available. The Dark Star was off, but there was Butcombe Bitter (£1.40/half, and tasty) and Tring Great Gully, as well as Fuller's Honey Dew, Leffe, King Ludwig Weissbier and other lagers. There's a good wine list on the chalkboard above the bar, with small glasses at £3.20-5, and bottles ranging from £13-30. Mains were from around £9-12.
