After coming second in the finals of ‘The Voice’ UK last year, this hushed, doe-eyed singer plays a headlining show. Her original songs are patchy, and she dresses like Rufio from ‘Hook’, but she undoubtedly has a pretty singing voice and does a cracking...

Agree with GENUINE reviews here..I've lived across the road from this pub for 15 years and its always struggled, five or so ago it played the obvious "gentrification" card but it seemed to me to be just apeing what was required rather than being taken over by genuine artisan foodie types (the way the process should happen) as a result the food, decor and beer all seems to be a hotch potch this is improving by trial and error and now its putting on music. When sarah neufold played I decided I'd give it a go...the experience nailed the coffin lid for me mainly because they PRETEND gigs start at 6!! we missed dinner and hurried over only to be kept waiting in a bar stiffled by a private party (!) until USUAL GIG TIME so we were starving when we could have eaten and made it fine, its obviously a ploy to get you to buy drinks (which are pricey-2 x330ml ales £9.40!) The crowd were mostly weird fashion types who seemed more at home with champagne and cat walks and the door man (promoter) very odd, vague about a ticket booking I was anxious about as I'd had no confirmation ("show me what you got and we'll work something out"??) didnt seem to know if I'd booked when he let us in..? and then insisted to checking our stamp EVERY time we went out and came in..weird..I would continue to avoid this .......place?

This venue is nice. We had a good time. It was quite quiet when we went there but the bands kinda made it more intimate. It's a cool place to check out new bands and I will be coming back :)

An overpriced pub with an offish and rude doorman who seemed hell bent on starting a fight with some kids the night I went . Poor service and a blight on Islington by and large. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE !

Aware of a significant number of negative reviews I can only speak on what I found and that is a pleasant nicely furnished bar and and a small music venue that tonight rocked and sweated to 'Ferocious Dog'. Efficient bar staff, clean loos - no evidence of a grumpy or nasty owner. I would flinch at the drinks prices, if it's a pub then it's bordering upon extortion, if it's a venue then I guess I would pay the same or more at the O2 for some euro fizz. Also would question the carefully selected craft beers tag, unless you count a few US bottles or a bottles of 'landlord'. Great little venue overall though!
