The Crown in Islington

Class London-Irish boozer, brilliant pint of Guinness for a very reasonable price.

We recently visited The Crown and was impressed by its warm, traditional atmosphere and top-notch Guinness. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

Best pint of Guinness for miles around, and the locals are friendly.

Old school boozer. Not many like it now.

Quite a nice relaxed pub, a little tired but adds to the place, very local by looks of it but all friendly

I like this little pub. I never realized it was an Irish pub until l stepped in and it was like being there. Old Irish men always up for a quick chat. Cheap pints (getting rare these days!). Not pretentious at all, just what you need, screens to watch the football, a nice person to serve you a cold pint. There is a jukebox and usually people put good music on it. Oh if you like darts, there is a corner dedicated to it. As a girl, l appreciate that the toilets are spacious and most of the time clean. Especially since there is a note that men should no longer use them 😀 But bear in mind, there is only 1 cubicle for women. Which is working fine, a bit busier on big event such as St Patrick's night but manageable. A place l like to go and will continue to go to.

Best Guinness i had from long time

Haven't tried the food but it's one of the best pubs in the qrea

Great pub, real people and best Guinness in the Manor.

Always a welcome by staff and locals. Love the place.

Only found out recently its an Irish pub! Proper local, great reasonably priced Guinness. Sport, pool and has a carpet! Drop in, you will make friends 😉🇮🇪

Great for pool ,also a nice pint

I went to this pub with my sister in law on St Patrick’s day the staff and everyone there was really friendly and welcoming drinks were cheap and strong and they served us really quick unlike other pubs round that area i would recommend this pub cant wait to go back. 🤍the only thing i would say to improve the pub is to play some music. 🎶

Best pint of Guinness in London

The Crown on Holloway Road is a proper locals pub, football is on the telly, there is an obligatory dead dod having a wonderful sleep under a table and everyone is engrossed in the game or conversation. Lovely stained glass windows with little bays make the place look special. Not one for the real ale enthusiasts, no cask ales. Keg beers aplenty so all is not lost. I enjoyed a pint and a packet of crisps.

Great irish pub lovely welcoming atmosphere

Best Guinness in London. Top boozer.

Very friendly staff and nice people

Top battle cruiser, real character.

the owner was very rude and unwelcoming. would never return

Best proper pub in town, and one of the best Guinness around

Not the best atmosphere during the world cup. Decent pub though

Nice friendly atmosphere, a decent pint of Guinness, liked the British Flags around the gaff

Good pub. Great governor. Colm top man

Nice local pub with good service and beer

Hostile atmosphere, filled with local old white ignorant men. Very racist. Won't visit again.

Great pint and always a friendly welcome

Drinkers pub.Just like pubs used to be. Oak everywhere. Lovely old decor, which I love. Nice, friendly barmaid on duty. Quiet when I visited. Will visit again.

Very nice pub....friendly girl behind the bar

Hands down. Best pint of Guinness outside of Ireland. And lovely Irish hospitality. What's more to be said?

Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere

Great pub with great beer and staff

Why would someone sell warm beer when it’s 35 degrees outside?

Great value pub. Friendly locals

Great service, very friendly staff, lovely atmosphere!

Colm is the best landlord in London if not Britain and ireland

A great big golden piece of headwear that is worn by the monarch.

Under refurb, sorry for any inconvenience, we be flying again soon, hope to welcome you back.

Lovely old school boozer which in London makes a change from the many floorboarded gastro nightmares that are abound. Reasonably priced drinks served by friendly staff make this place a joy to visit.

Went there as part of a dart competition night. Reasonable prices for drinks, plenty of room. Ok place to go if your in the area.

Darts, pool table. Spacious. Seems friendly enough.

On Holloway road. Old school boozer, as pubs used to be, friendly landlord, sports ( incl racing) on tv and reasonable priced beer (less than £4 for lager). Nice alternative to other pretentious arty farty pubs in the vicinity. Dont expect gastro food as its more a bag of pork scratchings place. No airs, no graces just down to earth working men and women.

The bartender Joei is the best! ;)

this has the feel of being an ultra local pub, without being intimidating. they sem not to have any ales on tap, only lagers, and Guinness (but oh, what a fantastic pint of guiness it was!). there's also a dart board and a pool table (a little confusingly you have to ask behind the bar for the cue ball). Great venue for a drink before going to London's finest curry house (Bengal Spice).

Old fashioned pub full of characters, good pint nice bar staff. A local pub for local people.

Finest boozer on the Holloway Road.

Great old fashioned pub not many of these around anymore
