The Florence Tavern, Islington

A load of us from work used to visit this pub on a regular basis until the horrible refurbishment which took the whole life out of the place and ruined a really good venue for watching the football. Traditional pub my behind.

What that area needs is a really top place for watching the football. It's really lacking at the moment and this used to be the place.

The Litten Tree, Old Street

Dead during the week, even worse at the weekend if it is actually open. On two occasions have seen two mice at the same time running around at the end of the night. Have never got any "food" from there for that reason.

Friday nights have the usual city types getting off their face and builds a rather unpleasant environment for those out for a relaxing pint.

The beer isn't that great either if you can actually get served without waiting half an hour at busy times, and for the recent Liverpool v Marseille match they didn't put it on until almost 10 minutes into the game even though it was advertised as being on.

Oh, and they had a fully decorated and lit Christmas tree up at the end of September.
