The Bailey, Highbury

Sad to see what was once a decent local boozer turn into somewhere you walk past. Ok during the daytime, avoid at night.

The Bar Aquarium, Old Street

I think the rating is spot on. If you read (google 'Man nearly dies in bar brawl') the article in the Islington Gazette published 15th July 2010 you will find out what this place is about.

Was unfortunate enough to pop in for a quick one after a superb dinner in Hoxton before the last tube, greeted by 2 staff bickering very loudly in some foreign language amongst themselves in an empty place. I was glared at and told that the place was closed and told to go or the police would be called. Nice. My companion and I were half way out of the door by then anyhow...what a nightmare.
