The White Swan, Islington

as always with a wetherspoons, they cannot handle more than 5 people at the bar at any one time. but it is a nice place, plenty of room and plenty of seats, reasonable drinks.

punters of a very mixed variety. unfortunately you do get a few people in there who think they are born in the ghetto and love shouting about and acting lairy. ive never been there and not had a little trouble, whether a little barge walking about or a full on offer to 'step outside'. otherwise good for a meeting place in town before hitting another club

The Mitre, Islington

nice place. never too paked, not full of suits and under-aged bingers. despite its recipe for a binge drink paradise of cheap drinks and plenty of seats, it is quite chilled out and relaxing if u sit down, yet still buzzing if u are up for mingling.

The Pitcher And Piano, Islington

it is ok in mid week if u are on a date, its not too packed, pretty chilled out. however on a friday and saturday, it is full of suits (people who are behind a desk all week then spend all weekend doing coke, talking really loudly and acting really obnoxiuosly).

and the bar staff are totally useless, up their own arse and are more concerned with prancing up and down the bar area than serving. and how does 'gin and tonic' sound anything like x2 vodka red bull. and the cheeky mare still insisting on charging me for it. unless u love blowing money, drinking with over-hyped and coked up suits, i advise u avoid...
