Nice old-fashioned pub with a theatre upstairs and a beer garden of sorts (concrete with benches & tables, but they've painted the walls) out the back. A short walk from Angel Station, and between the station and Sadler's Wells. Lots of plush red furniture, quite dark. Sells reasonable, well-kept beer. In April 2008 a pint of Tim Taylor's Landlord was £3, and they also had Harvey's Sussex Best on tap. Juliet has most often visited on a Friday or Saturday evening and usually been able to find a seat. However: on the 27 April 2007 (a Friday evening) they were running a very loud DJ evening (ska, mostly) which made the place rather unpleasant. Unsure yet whether this is a permanent feature. It was still reasonably quiet out in the beer garden. Sport is shown on two satellite TVs, and there is a large projection screen too.
Usefully, right opposite Electrowerkz.
