Situated on Highbury Corner opposite Highbury & Islington tube and over-ground station the main attraction of this establishment is the upstairs theatre which stages theatrical performances and live, mainly rock, music, hence the unconventional opening hours. The downstairs bar, however, operates as a normal(ish!) pub and retains some of its traditional Victorian features including nice tile work under the dado in the bar.

The pub no longer serves food - delivery pizza was available but not promoted now. A small outside seating area occupies the pavement if you really want to experience, and smell, the chaos that is the Highbury Corner traffic roundabout.

Information for this venue is provided by the North London Branch of CAMRA
