King's Head Theatre Pub in Islington

Excellent spot! Love the live music. Jen was great, very hospitable. I enjoyed the beer, wine and music! Beer beer beer beer!!!! 🍻

Jenny (and premm) are helpful, fabulous, friendly and made our night so much better! Would come here only to see them xxx

One of my favourite pubs in the Islington area. Such a chill atmosphere with good food and great staff. Jen & Prem in particular are awesome and elevate your evening!

Jenny was amazing! She is awesome and we had the best drinks . I can't wait to come back! Thanks for making our experience great

Um bom lugar para passar o tempo com amigos, variedade de cervejas e um ambiente de PUB diferenciado. A decoração é muito boa.

Friendly, welcoming and perfect service! Janet was super welcoming when we arrived and looked after all constantly checking in on us frequently. Highly recommend!

Great service, staff are very welcoming Fires always lighting, very cosy atmosphere and very clean Great Guinness too!

Really cozy pub with great atmosphere, lovely staff and perfect for a night out or a casual drink, highly recommend to anyone visiting the area, go and see a show too!

very bland cosmo without any taste - worst olives we ever had, straight from the jar. Feels like a tourist trap or just like a day when the servers were having a very bad day.

Such a lovely pub, one of my favourites! It’s so warm and cozy with the candles and fireplaces, and as a massive fan of theatre, the decor and vibe is perfect! An amazing selection of drinks, including two shelves of different gins - my faves! Staff at the pub and the theatre are so friendly and helpful as well :)

Dropped ion for a very late night drink, amazing welcome, amazing service and great beer and wine. So good we dropped in the following night.

Love this pub, a local favourite. Cosy fireplaces (two!) and a great wine and gin selection. Staff are friendly and the interior is beautiful, lots of pictures of old shows and actors on the wall. Great that the theatre’s inside, too. Nice mixed crowd, doesn’t feel pretentious. It feels like a ‘proper pub’. Warm and welcoming. Will definitely be back!

Very lively pub with simple but v tasty food, the blue cheese and ham toastie is delicious. Saw a quirky show from the fringe too so, all in all, a smashing night!

We had a booking in the restaurant next door and as I was quite early I went in to this pub for a couple of drinks. They have an excellent selection of wine and drinks available, comfortable seating, friendly crowd and very friendly and helpful staff. I will definitely visit here again when in the area or even plan to come here again as it was a really nice pub.

Great pub with theatre out the back! Staff were friendly, great place to have a catch up with friends. There is a wide selection of drinks and we had a fantastic evening

Great pub with quite unique vibe, really impressive cocktail and wine list, way better than a typical pub selection. 100% would recommend

Lovely pub with open fires. Was welcoming visit from the staff who friendly and polite. Will be returning

We came across this little gem when out and about in Islington. The traditional outside appearance continues inside whit lots of mahogany and cosy atmosphere. We decided on having some wine as they had nice selection and cheese board which came lovely presented. Service was great too! Professional and friendly which made our visit even better. We will definitely come back here soon.

My husband and I visited last week. What a wonderful pub. We had a sharing board which was delicious. Great choice of drinks. Lovely atmosphere. Aga who served us was very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely visit again and highly recommend.

What a lovely, traditiinal English pub! Came here a few days ago and was surprised by the attentive service, great drink selection and the amazing atmosphere. The team members were very attentive to all customers and the service was smooth and efficient. Must visit when strolling up and down on Upper Street! Will be back for sure as they do live music too!

Such a lovely little pub, we were served by Aga who took great care of us and our puppy. Recommend the negronis!

Had a great experience here last week. Warm atmosphere complimented by helpful staff. I recommend the sharing platters!!!

Had an amazing time in this very cosy little pub, and the team, Tomy and Tom where very hospitable and recommend me some delicious drink’s and snacks! Definitely a must go location

Such a lovely authentic pub with a great atmosphere. The new food menu is so befitting of the pub. The pub doesn’t try to be anything it’s not which is exactly what the area needs. Served by Aga who was attentive, helpful and even showed...

We went to the recent panto and loved the experience. Although small the views over people were good and the venue wasn't too hot (as alot of smaller venues can be). The pub itself has a great atmosphere.

The team were kind enough to host us and our few guests for a couple of post-wedding drinks on Saturday, laid up tables with Prosecco and glasses beforehand, and gave us the space to do this safely. Thank you for giving us that special moment!

The pub re-opened after lockdown yesterday and we visited. It's a traditional iconic pub with a huge legacy - everyone who's anyone has been here! So nice to be there. Lovely staff and service. Alex was very attentive to serving us at our table. Good...

I booked a table for my birthday last minute as another place had messed up my reservation. The staff here was so accommodating and super lovely! The bar snacks were delicious and I had the best time. Will definitely 100% be back. Thanks so much...

We had a wonderful time last night, Krassy was such a pleasure! Great service and quick! My husband and I will be back again to see another show!

What a wonderful spot! A lovely pub with a great box theatre which allows intimate performances. Great atmosphere perfect for a Sunday afternoon with food, drinks and arts!

I don't expect to be served a GnT in a plastic glass, no I wasn't going into the theatre. Nor do I expect to be told as the glasses were peeled out of the dishwasher "they're warm", further compounded by muted mutterings to her colleague...

Went to visit with friends over the weekend, friendly atmosphere, good beer and we even tried some pickled eggs! 10/10 would recommend

Before I start I have to say the female manager on duty was lovely she tried to rectify the situation and knew what service should be like. However her male colleague behind the bar was appalling. He ignored not just us but a good few...

After so much gentrification, I naturally seek those old school-style boozers which are quickly disappearing. At the King's Head pub on Upper Street, which is only a few minutes walk from Angel/Highbury & Islington station, I am so happy to have found one. Even before...

This appears to be a bit of an institution within the local area but I can't see why. It has a good theatre attached to it but that is about it, in fact it is the theatre that keeps this place going otherwise it would...

Very disappointed that a foreign friend ordered and paid for a large Glenfiddich and was given a very average blend of whisky in its place last night. It was obviously not Glenfiddich, even a 19 year old in our company could tell that simply by...

A fine old pub in great order, with all the good and bad attributes of that. Drinks quite pricey, and two staff service a packed room on Friday night wasn't great. However the atmosphere compensated greatly. Our party had a glorious evening never to be...

This pub has a theatre attached and this review is about the pub itself. It is a traditional local and part of Islington life. Not surprisingly it becomes very crowded on theatre nights but this adds to the experience although in the 30 minutes before...

Came here for the live music and the atmosphere was great! Everyone was singing and dancing. The guys behind the bar made our night very polite, always smiling and even remembered our drinks. Very impressed with how busy they were. We shared a few of...

Resting on their laurels. One and a half pints over 7 quid. Dank atmosphere. Food overpriced. Needs revamp. Overconfident of its worth. Staff not at all friendly. Asked for bill not given one which seems to be increasingly the norm. They could be so much...

We visited the King’s Head Theatre pub to see a play. Lovely atmosphere and plenty of ‘theatre going’ clientele; quite trendy. The walls are covered with pictures of famous actors who have appeared at the adjacent theatre. Food & drink nice, but the food menu...

I went to a show on Saturday called werewolves and I was appalled to see there was only 1 barman behind the bar! He was rushing around trying to serve about 80 people. He remained calm and was very polite. They need more staff and...

We visited the kings head pub today There is a theatre is situated at the back of this quaint and small pub. The pub was was extremely busy serving customers who were waiting to attend the show and of course people popping in for a...

Easy to find ,close to public transport. Friendly helpful staff. Good location and lovely place to relax before and after the fringe theater upstairs. Pub menu and drinks. Ambiance very good, lots of seating.

Saw the Victorian farce 'Diary of a Nobody ' last night. Great comic timing by all the four actors playing a multitude of different characters/genders and trying their best with a handful of homemade and rather wilful props and a very sleepy cat. Great entertainment...

Fantastic little venue at the back of the King's Head Pub. Bench seating offering up close & personal view. I saw Incident at Vichy which was brilliant.

I was recently privileged to catch the Magic Flute here. I was so impressed by the voices of these so talented young people. What a delightful place to catch an opera .

We went to a play at this theatre pub recently and had a very enjoyable evening. The play we saw "Adam and Eve and Steve" was excellent, very funny with good music. We didn't eat at the pub as it was very busy on this...

What a great venue in a beautiful neighborhood. The shows here are engaging and the seating comfortable. The pub itself is also quite fun.

Just came here for a drink so can not comment on the food. Serves up to four real ales. Young's pub. The real selling point is the bar staff who are superb.
