Owl & Hitchhiker in Islington

A welcoming, relaxed atmosphere from the moment we stepped through the door. The food and drinks were great without being overly expensive and the staff were friendly and polite. Shout out to the DJ! Would recommend.

Very cool place to have drinks. They offer a nice range of cocktails as well, and the music is really good. Recommend to visit if you're around.

Great place we had so much fun, the food is amazing and the stuff are very friendly! Good prices foe drinks and cocktails. We'll be back for sure

Popped in for some drinks on a whim ended up staying longer because of the lovely atmosphere, the staff are great and even the snacks popped off would highly recommend a thousand times over

The spot is great for a night out with friends.Food was good, beers were not expensive and DJ was playing tunes. Will definitely come back.

What a cool place! The vibe there makes you feel so happy the moment you pass the door! Nice option of Craft Beers! The food was so delicious and the portions were so big for a small price! The staff is very friendly and special mention to the DJ!

Great atmosphere, amazing DJ, and the bar staff were full of banter and very welcoming. I will definitely be coming back!! :)

Great pub, fun vibes, good service, good food. Staff are super kind and lovely, music is great... Just a great pub on Holloway Road!

Came in this pub last week! Had some family visiting for summer and never came before, even though we live down the road! So glad we did!! absolutely amazing atmosphere, lovely sunday dinner! I’m vegetarian and the lovely girl working Kiera I think! accommodated me so well! Asked the kitchen to swap out meat for veggies and vegan gravy and due to it being slightly delayed she offered me a drink to make up for the time lost (not that it mattered anyway we were more than happy!) Please thank her for me again for being such a kind and thoughtful member of staff :) We will be back! Great range of drinks and retro arcade games, my daughter loved the mario kart

Absolutely gorgeous time with friends and family. Lovely venue, great party. Met Jade there too, she absolutely made our night better!

Had my 24th birthday here. The service was incredible - Jade and Roman were the shining stars of the evening. Couldn’t have done it without them. I am forever grateful for them !!!! Couldn’t recommend enough.

Cool pub with different games but if you have any expectations with food then you will be disappointed, food is really stale, we have tried burger and lamb and the meat tasted gross:/

It's a very cool venue with table tennis (which can cause a bit a chaos) and various games inside. Does a good selection of beers on tap (including gluton free ones) and has a very good curried goat! Come here a lot and is a local favourite!

Came here for my friends 30th birthday and what a cool pub! The back has been converted and has a great edgy cool vibe and plenty of space for a Dj and dancing, great night out!

Really friendly warm welcome. Great selection of drinks/cocktails. Loved the atmosphere. Wish could have stayed longer.

So we had been here pre-pandemic and had a decent roast so called in today whilst in the area, as was sure it would be good. It was easily the worst Sunday roast I have had in a pub anywhere, almost school lunch standard. The...

Had a delicious roast here after a lovely walk with our dog at Hampstead Heath. Staff were very friendly and accommodating and the roasts were huge and delicious. There are even vegan options which looked delicious too. Dog friendly both inside and out, and they...

Then this is definitely the pub to come to! They always go above and beyond whenever we visit. Nothing is a hassle and you feel like you’re being served by friends. Covid safe, good food, great staff, fantastic venue. Highly recommend.

You wouldnt go out of your way to come here, but if passing by like we were then it's nice. Sat in the front car park, which is better than it sounds. Decent range of Laine and Brixton beers. Service is very good.

This pub is generally great. The food is amazing and it has quite a niche style. But don’t get the nachos honestly terrible. Worst nachos I’ve ever had. No meat a tiny bit of sauce the equivalent of a McDonald’s sauce, and not enough slaw...

We got served by Atlanta. She was amazing. So polite and had a beautiful personality. Amazing service and great at her job !

Considering the tough times, it seems management hasn't set the easiest task to staff. Everyone working there is incredibly polite and accommodating. Prices are reasonable considering the selection. My friend is seriously disabled and they made him feel welcome. Its not perfect but you can...

Went there after they opened up the kitchen after COVID-19. The food took forever and was absolutely horrible. The fries arrived 30minutes before the burgers and were soggy, unsalted and did not taste good. The waiter said that the hamburgers would be right out along...

The premises are great, this could be a really good pub if someone wanted to run it properly. Barstaff do not even acknowledge you as they stand 3 feet away while you wait to be served, then happily serve someone else who arrived later. I...

Was very impressed by the escape room here run by Buck Buck Games. Was really well put together and funny too. Strongly recommend!

Went here with my girlfriend for an evening meal. We both had the vegan chicken burgers with veganmac & cheese as a side to share. The chicken burgers were both realistic and tasty, and the mac & cheese is the best I’ve tasted. The venue...

We really enjoyed our vegan food (MacDaddies, Chickenish Burger, Chickenish Strips... and a big helping of Dirty Fries), some beers, and the interesting and quirky decor. Plus the staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely go there again!

I had a great time, the staff were friendly and service was quick. A very characterful place, with ‘trendy’ clientele.

Great vegan junk food menu with tons of craft beer options and such a fun space. The staff are always super friendly too. Have been back many times now!

One of my favourite regulars where you can always guarantee a good time. Food is great, drinks are great, people are great. Do a bunch of events that are always a good shout, especially the drag brunch which is a proper laugh.

Met with my cousins and friends for Sunday afternoon food and drinks. The staff where very friendly and very helpful! I am Gluten free and my cousin is Veggie there where lots of options for us to choose from! The food was great - the...

Just not good good enough. The beer I chose had no ABV on the pump clip. The food (this was a Monday night) took 30 mins to arrive. The chips were cold and other components burnt. No one collected our plates and staff just seemed...

Utterly disgusting staff - seen SCREAMING at a completely calm, sober customer, calling her "mentally disturbed" and "very intense". Manager refused to get involved. Steer well clear. Never seen anything like it.

We went because of the vegan heavy menu (we tried to a go a week earlier on a Sunday to discover they only serve roasts none of which are vegan!! We did try calling beforehand several times but nobody picked up) anyway, food was ok....

As a family of 4 we popped along to this pub . We were 2 adults and 2 children. 1 of whom is autistic. He has food aversions and eats a very limited amount of things . We ordered 3 roast dinners and asked for...

We saw some vegan burgers advertised online and couldn’t wait to try them. We were served by a really helpful guy on a quiet Monday, he recommended us some tasty beers, informed us of the offers up for grabs and let us go for a...

We have just been to a private party upstairs at the pub. Realty fantastic venue, staff were just brilliant. Thanks

I was killing time before I met up with my nephew, usually I'd go into the wetherspoons but it needed, or was having a refurbishment. The bar was quite quiet, (3pm) on a Wednesday. The beer was fine, the decor eclectic, all very calm the...

We visited The Owl and Hitchhiker for a group Sunday lunch where we had pre-ordered our meals to assist the kitchen. Despite this, it was quite some time after our arrival that meals started to appear. The roast dinner was great though - large Yorkshire...

I do not know why I continue to come here. I keep giving it chances because there aren't loads of bars close by, but I'm just going to stop. I am not exaggerating when I say this - EVERY SINGLE TIME I have been to...

We visited with a mixed group, including my girlfriend and her father. Everyone across the generations was delighted. Beers were good, artwork is fun and the service was sparkling. 11/10, would visit again.

I went to visit the pub on a monday where they do ribs with pint promo. Do not recommend but the house burger was amazing, tasty and decent portion size. The decoration is cool and the place has 2 floors available

Hadn't been to this venue for a while and it looks like it has changed hands. Had an excellent Sunday roast lunch. It is a big pub, on different levels with loads of quirky features. The important basics of the food, drinks and customer service...

At first sight I thought we were in one of those bars seen in Happy Days. The colours, the tables, the multiple objects hanged everywhere randomly like typewriters, old speakers, hair dryers coming down from the ceiling, the pinball and the fussball table! One of...

Went there last night for the "inauguration". The place was empty. We were sitting on a table by the dance floor (avoiding the pre-war school chairs at the entrance...). Went to order some drinks and returned to the table. Then Security came to tell us...

I really like this place. It was nice before, but a bit boring. Now it's nice and interesting. Hard to describe, its a bit of a chaotic design but there's loads to look at. The layout is amazing with a mezzanine level. Really impressed by...

Used to drink there regularly but they’ve recently ‘refurbed’ it and changed the name sadly for the worst. There’s tat everywhere and all the seats are like something from a pre war school classroom. No complaints about the beer although service wasn’t great as bar...
