The Kings in Islington

Loved the relaxed atmosphere in their secret garden — perfect for a cosy drink. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

A place called The King's with irish flags on the windows.

Enjoyable venue to watch arsenal games. Bit run down outside but friendly staff and patrons

they got a jukebox, however, once I paid 2 quids for that, they just switched to a regular radio. what is this

A terrible experience. We went in at the end of our night and we’re greeted by what we thought friendly bar staff. The drinks were good and we sat down only to be told 5 minutes later ‘please can you move, we’re not shutting but we would like to close the area’. Fair enough. 5 minutes later we were greeted with bar staff shouting at us to finish our half drunk drinks and knocking on windows at us. This was about 12:50, the place advertised itself on the entrance as open til 2, so maybe they work on different time zones down south, but will not at all rush back to visit this establishment

No cask ales but good Guinness, friendly bar staff, surprisingly cheap prices for the neighbourhood and they were playing great soul and funk music the whole night. An accidental discovery but a happy one.

A very nice local pub which is not too expensive. Excellent bar staff who are very friendly and will look after you. Come here and see what you think.

decent friendly pub with good beer garden , didn't eat only drank copius amounts of lager wit friends

The place is under new management with a focus to provide a nice place to go, Give it a try

It is what it is & what it is, i like

Great pub & lovely staff, also 1 of the best pints of Guinness in London. Nice to see real pubs like this is London still going.

Eve is so lovely. The best pub in town

Local bar, always good to enjoy a beer in the garden

Great night here friendly staff and free jukebox

Racist staff. Won't be coming back. My friend had her belongings stolen and was treated appallingly by both bouncers and manager.

Loved this place. The staff are so friendly and make you welcome straight away.

Watched a world cup game after brewery congress. Nice local pub for drinks and games.

If your not that fussy, no need to dress up, a local pub, a DJ was there who knew his music. A little empty dance floor to enjoy. The pub could do with a lick of paint and refurb.

Best Guinness in the area. Never too busy. Lovely outside area in the back. A proper local

Used to be a really good pub with a friendly welcoming landlady. Went in recently and it’s gone right downhill, won’t be back

Another brilliant night at the kings. Good music. Good beer and service. Top marks to the manager for running a good pub

New manager is digusting !! Rude , no good at her job , she will run this pub in the ground!! Furniture old and falling apart !!

It is a real, honest-to-goodness pub. Greeted with a smile and perfectly presented drinks with all beers in the correctly, branded glasses. Their secret garden is comfortable and spacious.

Loved this place, really good price beers, good outdoor area with a large tv screen, great atmosphere.

Great local pub and a very solid pint of Guinness!

Acredito que todos devem ter suas experiências. Mas para mim o valor pago realmente não justifica! Você paga paga para entrar. Paga para a mesa ( e nada vira em consumação). E é liberado cigarro eletrônico, tudo bem para quem fuma ( mas acredito que isso não esteja respaldado pele lei) no meu caso que tenho alergia, isso é péssimo. Com certeza os pub ingleses não são tão tolerantes com isso, que é melhor. Não vou disser que nunca mais retorno, mas no que depender de mim não será um local recomendado.

Loved this place quite cheap but everyone very cheerful great service 👍

Had a lovely time today with my gaye sister .Earnestly 💕 Julie is a super landlady great locals and beautiful vibes .the Bee behind the bar has a powerhouse voice too 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

Staff nice and courteous, Great manager and must visit great for Sports and music.

Great atmosphere Excellent bar staff Two young ladies Excellent service A big thank you

Great atmosphere Lovely Bar staff two very nice young ladies. Thank you

Cosy, proper pub with a bit of live music thrown in

Friendly local Irish pub. Great atmosphere, reasonably priced good selection of drinks. Hey have some good traditional Irish music there some Sundays. One of my favourite pubs.

The best singer on a Saturday night! Kudos to a queen xx

In an area full of hipster pubs and bars The Kings was a welcome rest bite. The ale selection isn't great, but it's a predominantly lager and shots type of area so you can't blame them for that. The outdoor area was nice and allows non-sports fans to enjoy the bar.

Nice old fashioned bar, enjoyed a few pints

Excellent staff. Great atmosphere

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, selection of beverage, big screen sports

The King's no longer do any food they tell me.

A wonderful night last night with the Irish and country band. The manageress was so kind and great fun and the staff were very welcoming and great craic 🤩 great pub great atmosphere 👌

Brilliant pub. Change of hands hasn't affected the atmosphere - still a pleasant place to get lost for an afternoon and enjoy time in the garden. Post-lockdown #2 substantial meals in the form of ham and cheese toasties for £2.50. Reasonable and tasty! Great service from staff. Thanks guys!

Really nice and cosy pub! The service is super!

Lovely pub with lovely atmosphere. Altogether quite quirky. Great beer and wonderful staff to assist with your drinking needs. Really enjoyed my pre-lockdown pint. Well worth a visit.

A really good pub with great customer service

Nice little pub good to meet up with friends and have some snacks and drinks.

What a great old school pub full of locals - fantastic Guinness served by 2 lovely bar staff - can't recommend highly enough 👍

Very cozy and clean pub. Friendly staff. Who could ask for anything more?

Nice pub with a good range of beers.

Good pub with mostly locals but comfortable for others to go in. Shows sport and the Saturday night I was there they had a live band as well who were good

Nice late-opening pub for live music and drinks, friendly staff

Great bar staff and relatively cheap drinks

Friendly place to drink. Good value, free phone charging device!

Great pub - lovely staff behind the bar and live music weekends

Old school pub, friendly staff and customers.

Good spot to catch sports. Quite a down to earth vibe, and a cosy interior. They've got a decent sized outdoor space out back, that is covered, and also shows sports out there.

Only had a drink. Pint OK. Toilet OK. Price OK. Staff OK.

Great pub very pleasant bar stafff

Being Gluten and Dairy free it's hard to find somewhere nice to eat ... but the staff were more than happy to assist ... Will be coming back !

Would possibly pop in again when next in the area

Nice open space, good service with a beer garden.

Guinness is beautiful, the best in Islington

Watch the Tottenham vs United match here. Fantastic atmosphere with no pressure to buy. Excellent customer services and good variety of drinks.

Good old pub brilliant atmosphere.

Nice old school locals' pub (by Angel standards)

Stopped off for a quick refreshment while walking the new river loop from it's end, near to the Sadler's wells theatre, to its origin. This pub is a convenient place to rest for a bit.

Smelled like urinal cake as soon as we walked in the door. Walked straight back out 🙃

Bit boring !we was misled was told it was a dj but we got there ready to party and it was a singer 🙄

Great proper pub, lovelly outside space.

Really enjoyed this place ..good service and lovely outside area

Over priced and over rated. It's more like gods waiting room. Avoid at all costs unless your about to keel over. Shite!!!

This proper pub is the dogs ggonadz. So are the staff they are the best and so are the people who drink in there all in all you will love it i do!

Great service. Watched the grand prix in comfort. Will be back.

The most wonderful pub in Islington. Nice staff great drinks and reasonable priced .

Small friendly pub, reasonably priced.

Went for food last week was told there was no food then the chef stole my bike and crashed up the street rendering himself incapacitated! #YKTA

Fantastic pub ! I have autism,and this pub is not far from the centre where I go,fantastic Christian Management,and staff,who have always given both myself and fellow service users,excellent service,and understanding. I love music,and I have enjoyed playing music on their Jukebox. Other facilities include Sky TV,an open fire in the winter months,and an excellent beer garden.

Brilliant atmosphere and lovely staff

Best pint of Guinness in the area

This is everything a pub should be. Warm, friendly with a blend of people. Loved it.

Really takes me back to the good times brilliant prices and top staff

Much quieter than the nearby bars on Upper Street. A traditional pub in a part of London where these have become harder to find

The kings pub is like my home I feel at home everyday I step into this fabulous place on earth Terri is amazing

Prices keep changing. Hard to catch.

friendly staff great beer and food

Not an Irish pub as such a mixture of clientele Maybe a bit dated but that is for the better doesn't do food any more couple of loud old biddies here at the moment other than that it's great

Interesting boozer, very quintisentially British, but would say the vibe is good. Cant quite put my finger on it though.

Proper Irish style boozer slightly stuck in the 90s.

I been in the Kings on a number of occasions always friendly efficient staff and a friendly atmosphere

Top rate, lovely atmosphere very friendly, great staff and the manager was lovely

Friendly crowd, delicious and cheap Thai food.

This pub is good for both watching the football and it's cheap Thai food. For footy they have 4x screens (+1 more in the garden) that show Sky Sports and other similar international sports broadcasters ... and three good seating areas. For food, at least in the evening, a Thai chef has returned and offers excellent value food including red and green currys with rice for £6.50 each.

Small cosy atmosphere and always friendly staff and service. Comfy sofas to watch the football. Even sheltered seating area with large screen television outside in the good size back yard.

Not bad. Beers are nice and cold. Good prices. Always a pretty face behind the ramp. I won't be back......... until next week.

Nice clean pub, food comes quickly which is good. Bra manager is very lovely as well.

An excellent pub for watching football with friendly staff. The pub has Sky TV. There are screens in three different directions in doors and an under-cover outdoor decking area with big-screen and outdoor heaters. The beers are selection in good for lager drinkers but for bitters the choice is slightly limited. At present they're not doing food but they are planning to reintroduce this in the near future.
