The Star Of Kings in Islington

This place is nothing without Emily. So helpful and goes out of her way to deliver excellent customer service. Give a Emily another payrise as her current promotion is not sufficient.

algunos amigos y yo fuimos a hacer kareoke allí el sábado para un cumpleaños y, aunque hubo algunos problemas, su personal Emily fue increíblemente encantadora e hizo todo lo posible por nosotros en el servicio al cliente, lo cual fue muy apreciado incluso más considerando que éramos un grupo ruidoso de chicas y un chico (¡no recuerdo el nombre!!) que se acercó a nosotros personalmente sobre cómo hacer que nuestra noche fuera mejor siguiendo los problemas técnicos con el kareoke, son un activo absoluto para su equipo y espero que sean reconocidos por esto :) xx

Exelent enviroment, all very friendly and the food, Paul made an amazing work! Thank you all so very much!

Este lugar puede no ser para todos, ¡pero es todo lo que amo!El pub tiene un gran carácter, excelente cerveza y un excelente personal que te sirve con una sonrisa en la cara. Una chica francesa en particular era una fabulosa camarera.¡La mejor hamburguesa de mi vida, simple! ! Obtenga el pollo frito con mantequilla doble apilada, ensalada de col asiática, lechuga, mayonesa con salsa coreana y prepárese para que su mente sea enviada a Plutón, ¡absolutamente orgásmico! ! ! No encontrarás una mejor comida de pub en ningún otro lugar y Adam, que dirige la cocina, no solo es un gran chef, sino que también es una gran persona.

Es genial ver que, entre toda la remodelación de esta área alrededor de Kings Cross, ha sobrevivido un pub "adecuado". El interior es victoriano con modernización a través de los años. Es claramente una guarida local para aquellos que viven por aquí, pero es probable que no sean residentes en los nuevos y costosos bloques de apartamentos / apartamentos en construcción.Hay concursos de música y pub y la cerveza es buena.¿Que es no gustar?

Esta fue realmente una visita ad hoc, pero para mi sorpresa fue una experiencia fantástica, las bebidas locales fueron excelentes y el almuerzo del domingo fue excelente, de gran calidad y gran tamaño de porción, todo el personal fue excelente, muy amable y atento, vale la pena una visita. No te decepcionará.

Lovely place, amazing musing and Pippa is rhe most accomodating friendly member of staff I've ever seen in London! Definitely recommend this place

estaba allí para un evento abajo, tenía una hora libre, así que conseguí algo de comidaTuve el sí! hamburguesa con tocino y, sinceramente, es una de las mejores hamburguesas que he tenidobuena cerveza tambiénBuena esa. si no viviera a 300 millas de distancia, estaría allí todas las noches

Otro intento más en un pub inconformista que francamente es indiferente a las palabras. Este abarrotado y sucio pub es un antiguo boozer que simplemente explota su ubicación privilegiada cerca de las calles de la estación de Kings Cross, recientemente regenerada. Es una basura francamente cara, que no recibe ayuda del personal del bar excepcionalmente hosco y "demasiado bueno para la escuela". Existe una gama muy promedio de Camden Ales que ya no es una cerveza fresca y moderna, ya que es propiedad del gigante corporativo que es la empresa cervecera más grande del mundo, Anheuser - Busch InBev, y lo ha sido desde 2015. La comida del bar es tan cara y decididamente mediocre también.Así que, oh, hipsters de moda, es hora de pedalear sus bicicletas de un solo engranaje en otro lugar y tomar sus IPAs que no se pueden beber y saltar en algún lugar más auténtico. ¿Qué tal una buena pinta de cerveza a la antigua en un buen pub de Londres, como lo defiende CAMRA durante más de medio siglo? Tal vez estén en algo. . . . .

Really nice pub, great food and service. Highly recommend the popcorn chicken and the YFC burger! Easy to enter with a trolley.

Delicious Sunday roast. Lovely friendly staff. What's not to like? It was fairly quiet at 1pm on a Sunday probably because it's a five minute walk from Kings Cross and people can't be bothered. More fool them!

Recientemente fui allí con mi pareja y un amigo. Pedimos 3 hamburguesas, pagando con mi tarjeta y cuando miré mi recibo, me cobraron por 4, Jamie el barman dijo que necesitaría hacer un nuevo pedido y cancelaría el último pedido y recibiría un reembolso en mi cuenta en un Al poco tiempo, la tarjeta estaba cerca de su límite y se rechazó un pedido de tres hamburguesas más, así que mi compañero pagó por ellas. No hay registro de esta transacción en mis registros bancarios, pero definitivamente salió. Les envié un correo electrónico con el número de recibo y les dijo que probablemente era un problema con su sistema. Eso es todo, desde entonces no ha pasado nada, ni ayuda, ni correo electrónico. 48 libras simplemente desaparecieron en el aire. No entregue su tarjeta en este establecimiento, amigos.

Very nice Burger and beer not too bad either. A good place to go if your local on business and reasonably priced.

Pub realmente encantador, bastante caro. Pagamos casi 20 por una botella de vino! Parecía limpio, el personal era genial. Incluso si estaban estresados, siempre había una sonrisa. Estaba en el sótano para un espectáculo de comedia. Los pasos son empinados, pero estaba bien con tacones, llevando una botella de vino. Me gustó allí.

Caminando por la zona de Kings Cross, lleno de lugares interesantes, pero quería un verdadero pub. Esto era, un poco desaliñado en los bordes, pero buena cerveza se vendió por un agradable personal amable. Tuvimos una hamburguesa que estaba bien, especialmente el hecho de que la hamburguesa no estaba hecha y un perro caliente, que era muy sabroso. Pedimos platos de patatas fritas, podría haber hecho con uno entre nosotros como grandes porciones. Este es un buen pub honesto.

Conocí a amigos y familiares para tomar unas copas en este encantador pub. Fui recibido por un sonriente y encantador joven que no podría haber sido más útil (gracias Ibrahim).

You will think that this is a nice pub and a great venue for a party but I believe that you will be genuinely surprised by how really good the food is. Yummy!

Tuve un montón de diversión aquí viendo las diversas mujeres talento actuando drag.

Was with a friend enjoying the array of ales. My round; my friend wants a pint of the coconut ale. When I order it the barman says it comes in half pints. Confused, but knowing my friend wanted a pint, I said I’d have 2 halves and the pint of my choice.

Es agradable (así como extremadamente raro) para encontrar un ejemplo de un boozer antiguo en este estamos generado 'parte de la ciudad. La mayoría de King's Cross y ha sido reconstruido para albergar destruyó folk que trabajan para el internacional que han inundado a conglommerates los nuevos desarrollos y las plazas.

Alquilamos toda la planta baja para una fiesta privada el sábado. Comunicación en la reserva fue un suspiro, Chris fue siempre rápido para responder y era increíblemente servicial. En la noche no hubo problemas, nos permite poner nuestras propias luces y decoraciones, además de alquilar en una cabina de fotos de época. El personal del bar era muy cálida y amable, y espero, lo pasamos bien. Nada era demasiado problema y realmente hicieron que nuestra noche fue un éxito. Lo único negativo fue que había un muy malhumorado bouncer operativo lo que parecía ser un 'uno' en la política era absurdo y fumadores que llevó a un montón de colas de gente que quiera salir y humo. Esto podría indicar que cuando la reserva. Sin embargo, era la única cosa molesta ligeramente. Muy recomendable para alquiler privado.

The stairs down to the basement were really slippery and I fell quite badly and have some nasty bruises. The stairs were constantly being spilled on and were very busy. More of an effort should have been made to look after them and keep them safe during the night.

Went here for a charity comedy night organised by some friends. I had been for another comedy night previously, but this was the first time I had had food.

Easy to book and person was helpful.

went to the Star for a friends 40th. The cellar was dark with a low ceiling. but clean and no dank smells. the bar was well presented with furniture in good nick and no sticky floors. the pub allowed the room to be decorated and had a small stage in the corner. toilets were so so, with a London 'novel'/comedy urinals. Good beers on offer and good selection of spirits

No tengo ni idea de lo que podría poseer cualquiera de beber aquí - y pagar casi 6 libras por el privilegio. Una de esas vibraciones eran el personal son "demasiado fresco" a pagar cualquier atención. . Confíe en la claramente después de trabajar como estaba muerto todo el domingo por la tarde,

Recientemente me visitó un amigo de la casa y paramos en estrellas de Reyes para un asado los domingos. Ambos decidimos por la carne de ternera que estaba perfectamente cocinado con salsa que fue originalmente servido en una cerveza puede. La comida tenía un bonito toque sudafricano, lo que hizo que poco diferente de la convencional. Volveré a probar la cerveza puede pollo la próxima vez que esté en Londres. El ambiente era genial y el personal era muy amable.

Tenía una hamburguesa de queso y una pinta de Viernes almuerzo a un precio razonable y una buena pinta. Volveré a probar otro hamburguesas. Agradable pub y servicio amable. El Samurai burger parece interesante.

Visitamos después de un concierto en lugar de Reyes y nos gritó por hombres puerta como estábamos tratando de reunir todos nuestros artículos para salir. Seguimos tratando de señalar que estaban en el proceso de tratar de salir y el hombre de la puerta gritando. Estábamos sobrios. El personal se negó a decirnos a quien poder reclamar y sugirió que era simplemente un malentendido''.

Ordenados halloumi ensalada, era muy pequeña, Media, correoso halloumi y en general decepcionante. no era especialmente barato y tardaban años en llegar.

Nuestra experiencia en la estrella de los Reyes era horrible. Agujero hecho grosero y el hecho de que esperamos más de una hora de hamburguesas y patatas fritas frías incluso peor. Cuando parte de la orden estaba equivocada, el personal no hizo ningún esfuerzo para nosotros en la facilidad que estaban trabajando en ello, tomó tres otros viajes de nosotros al bar para recordarles y pregunte donde estaba nuestra comida. Este fue en un almuerzo cuando el pub estaba apenas ocupado, así que no hay excusas.

1:30 espera para servir a un grupo de 20. Y al final no todos reciben su comida. Nota positiva, yo era uno de los pocos afortunados de conseguir mi comida, mi hamburguesa era agradable. No lo recomiendo para cualquiera con las limitaciones de tiempo.

Its just under ten mins stroll up the side of Kings Corss towards the canal (easy to find on main road) , an area which has been renevrvated and with the new canal side bars a lot nicer and safer than the past . The pub has a classic exterior and decent real beer and classic interior . Food was average pub grub . Prices are London so no bargains . Would I visit again , yes - nice experience .

This is my favourite pub in the area, burgers are so good in fact one of the best I have ever had, the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. They have just started opening for Sunday roasts, tried last week and have to say it really did exceed expectations, had the lamb which was so delicious.

The staff at this pub, one of our locals are always friendly & knowledgeable.Today we wanted to try the infamous Bacchus Sunday roasts. I had the lamb which melted in my mouth, the food was great, a good portion the Yorkshire pudding was huge & delish. My only fault was the gravy, it was more of a jus, nice but I like lots of thick gravy.My partner had the sirloin beef, she also enjoyed her meal. We had the house red with our meal, which was good & a great accompaniment, thanks to the Duty Managers advice.We will definitely return, the chilled atmosphere, bloody Mary's & great food are well worth the 5 minute walk from our home.

Because they had one item missing and were extremely busy they cancelled the order. Rather than 1. Ask if we want an alternative and 2. See if we were willing to wait. Unsatisfactory; very bad customer service!! And took them over 30mins to advise that.

We go to this pub every weekend and sometimes in the evening. Just amazing.Service is great, atmosphere is great. The staff remember our names and just go the extra mile for us. Extremely welcoming.Dave in particular has stood out. He is always happy, nothing is ever an issue and always tries to make sure our group of friends are happy.Food is delicious at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend. Go go go! This is now our local forever!

I love this pub. It retains the old traditional pub style in a place where local place to meet are really few. There is always something happening, from quiz night to private parties. The staff is friendly even tough the selection of beers is a bit limited.

Booked the studio room upstairs for birthday drinks. The staff were really friendly on booking and everyone agreed it was a great night - the food is good and it definitely made it feel more of a special occasion to have our own room as opposed to being in the main pub. Thank you!

Some staff are very good in their work, but some are just snobbish. the drinks are good, food wise its average. we had burger and chips. the highlights good bands playing in the basement.

Perfect venue for my 50th birthday celebrations! Staff were extremely helpful, efficient and game for a laugh (wore the red wigs I provided for the theme '50 Shades of Ginger'). Good location for all coming from in and out of London - even abroad. Thanks for a great evening.

We went to see the science comedy show but ended up just having some cosy drinks outside on the beer terrace. Staff are friendly and there's good service. The burgers look delicious and so enticing but we didn't unfortunately have one as we'd eaten before hand, believing there'd be no catering at the venue before the event. Seemed also to be hosting several different events on the night, clearly a dynamic place to hang out.

After a train journey into London I met friends at The Star of Kings and caught some rays in their beer garden. It has a friendly, vibrant atmosphere, serves good drinks and has very helpful staff.

We attend the pub quiz now and again- we find the atmosphere nice and friendly. The pub does have a bit of a hipster air, but don't let the man buns and beards put you off. The pub does a scotch-egg burger which is the cherry on the cake of humanity. Try it.

Private party held in the upstairs room.Friendly and helpful staff.Great organisation before the event

We hosted a private party here recently and I cannot praise this venue enough. Lincoln was excellent and so patient and helpful, the atmosphere was excellent. All of our guests were extremely complimentary of the venue. Would definitely choose this place again for our next celebration and highly recommend.

Hired upstairs room for my birthday.Definite pluses were the room, general atmosphere and staff.Nice room and conducive for the numbers I had (30-40)The not so good stuff...The spirits - a number of times during the evening people said 'has this been watered down?' with regards to spirit and mixers. I had about five rum and cokes but didn't feel particularly affected by them. I'm not suggested they had been watered down but they definitely tasted on the cheap (and not very nice) side.The music level was a bit annoying. I was hoping to get a bit of a dance floor going, but the music was never loud enough for that to happen. I had to keep requesting for them to put it up but it was never much beyond background music level.So it wasn't bad, but these things definitely stopped it from being great.

Surly barmaid; £8 for really cheap and nasty wine. Avoid, plenty of better bars close by. For great wine; Camino is only 10 mins away; head back towards King's Cross and turn left.

I would definitely say if you are looking for a venue that's great for your money, especially with the drink prices, these guys are the way to go.From start til finish I was so impressed, really looked after, a big thankyou to our bartender Olly and management Lloyd, they helped with the set up and anything we needed, catered for my family and friends.I was more than happy with the room we booked, we were able to have it all day and night til 1am as there was no other bookings which came at no extra cost, we used the TV and sound system.Overall I would definitely use this place over and over, it is easy to get to and reliable.I cannot comment on the food as I did not eat.

Food took about 30/40 minutes to arrive despite us pre-booking and was all brought out at different times. One person received their burger 10 minutes after ordering and the rest of us received our food 25 minutes after that, leaving us in a rush to eat in order to get back to the office. Three of us ordered the vegetarian sausage burger – but only one was given the guacamole topping. When we asked about this, the burgers without guac were taken away for 10 minutes rather than just have the topping added. We weren't kept informed about why our food was taking so long, despite being one of only three parties in the pub. The food was tasty and well presented, but unevenly heated - some of the chips were already cold. So all in all, pretty poor service, we were not impressed.

Decent pub with a fair selection of food, but really nothing special. There seemed to be something going on in the back, which could explain the slow service. You can sit in the front, but you'll be right next to quite a busy road.

The pub, located a 5-10 minute walk from King's Cross station, is an pleasant pub for a few drinks, set in a relaxed atmosphere. Food-wise, their chips in cheese are delicious and easily shareable.

Really disappointed in this pubs lack of imagination!!!!£8.00 for a burger and chips which has no lettuce, onion, tomato, or salad on the side or in the burger is a total waste of imagination and money!!!!The skinny chips were tasteless and not even hot.Really disappointed!!!!For a place that just does burgers you would think that they would put every effort to make them original, this however is not the case!?

The "Star of Kings" had been brought to my attention through a couple of social media sites as they offered the trending Yeah! Burgers, which I had enjoyed at a Pop up stall a few years ago. I decided to come here with a group of friends to celebrate my birthday. At first glance, the location was good (local to me), the place had a good atmosphere, it looked very lively and lacked lighting. Next to us was another large group who occupied the table to our left who were not only taking up a large amount of space but had taken our end chairs to accommodate their 'large party'. While it wasn’t a major issue, it took awhile for the staff to bring us extra chairs and we ended up having to shove our table closer to the entrance to squeeze in both groups.As for the food, I had looked at the online menu prior to arriving, as I like to get a feel for what I'm ordering when I decide to try out new places. In my head I had chosen to order 1) Yeah! Burger 2) Chicken Wings 3) Chorizo Scotch Egg. However, when looking through the physical menu, I was unable to find the chicken wings anywhere - it turns our they no longer served them so they removed it from the sit down menu but not online. No big deal.. remove number 2 off the list, I've still got enough to fulfil the rest of my order right?! Actually no! What’s more is that they also had no chorizo scotch eggs available. So I ended up ordering just a Yeah! Burger with extra bacon and cheesy fries.When the food arrived, the chips were warm bridging on cold and tasted microwaved.The burger was ok, nothing standout, definitely lacking in Yeah! sauce. It felt like I was given a sample size which had just dropped on my burger - it might as well have not been on there as I couldn’t taste it. On the flip side, a friend of mine ordered the Elvis burger which I managed to have a taste of and was surprisingly very tasty, if I were to recommend anything from here it would be the Elvis Burger.The last unfortunate event which is probably the reason why I won't be coming back here anytime soon is that another friend of mine ordered a double patty Yeah! burger with no cheese (as he has allergies to cheese). Early on there was signs of trouble as there was an initial delay with his order and when it finally arrived, what do you know.. they had not listened and messed it up by adding cheese to the burger.. naturally he complained about and it was sent back straightaway. He was told by the bar staff that they would make a new one. An hour and a half in and still waiting.. when everyone else had finished their food, my friend was still waiting for his replacement burger. He questioned the staff about it and they were not being overly helpful at this stage and could not inform him where his order was. At the 2 hour mark, he gave up and asked one last time where his burger was.. The nail in the coffin was that the bar staff eventually told him that the chef hadn’t even started making the second burger.. The staff was very apologetic and offered him a full refund and a free drink.In short, it's a great venue, but we all had a very disappointing experience. I had a great time purely because of the company of my friends, the staff was friendly but the service could be improved, the Yeah! Burgers looked better than they tasted, the menus do not match.. and if there is one saving grace from our visit.. try the elvis burger

It's a relaxed pub but really that's all. The food was really poor and both the vegetarians and carnivores in our group wished we'd gone somewhere else! Gloopy vegetarian sausages in the weirdest rolls I've ever had, covered in something described as wasabi Mayo and even the chips were bad! All served up by a rather vague young guy in a bobbly woolly hat who managed to drop the food onto a greasy and dirty looking tray as he served us. It all just seemed a bit unhygienic to be honest! Wish I could say better as pub food when it is good it is great. Not this time though.

There is not much to say about this place, nothing special. Seasonal scotch egg burger with chorizo is a must if you happen to be around there.

The Star of Kings is a fun pub in an exciting, fast changing part of London. We were holding a small private event, and were delighted with the room we were given with no hassle of minimum spends etc that other pubs often do.Drinks and food are fairly priced, good quality, but relatively simple menus.I will definitely be back.

We used the basement area (capacity 100) for a charity gig with a couple of local bands. Managing the booking through the team at the Star of Kings was very simple and easy, and they were very flexible with the minimum spend allowing us to have the confidence to book an arrange an incredible gig (~80 attendees). Communication was good, and we got the impression that the venue team are flexible and committed to supporting you in using the space for whatever you need for your event. The sound technician support was excellent, and all of the bands and attendees had an amazing time. The food was also very tasty and not too expensive.Would recommend, and will use again for a similar event.

Really warm and welcoming venue with friendly staff! We've been rehearsing here for a few days a week and will definitely keep coming back as we've been looked after so well! Would definitely recommend you come here for a bite or three - their 'Babe Fries' with jalapenos and bacon are fantastic, just the thing when you've been rehearsing Shakespeare!

I made my pilgrimage to the Star of Kings to eat the fabled Scotch egg burger as featured in Time Out magazine and also following a recommendation from a work colleague. I'm glad I did, the food did not disappoint. The burger was extremely tasty as was the Scotch egg, which encased the patty. Whilst I’ve tasted better burgers this meal offered extremely good value for money and was thoroughly memorable for all the right reasons. The staff very attentive polite and the service was prompt. The venue is slightly quirky, a bit cramped in places and dim inside, but there is plentiful seating outside the venue which we enjoyed on the sunny afternoon. The bar also offers a good selection of beers and ales on tap, as well other non and alcoholic beverages. The only real downside was when the meal ended.

I was at an event in which we'd hired the back room. The space was good, and looked in better nick than the front bar. There's a pinball table!Burger was absolutely fantastic - excellent flavours, well cooked, not dense at all and my mushroom / truffle oil / blue cheese sauce chips were a treat. Bottled beer range is good as well, plenty of ones I'd not yet had.Can't wait to be back, shame it's not that near to me.

I booked the studio room at the Star of Kings for my leaving do. All lovely as per usual. Can't say I wasn't I little disappointed that I didn't get my Yeah Burger fix before I fly to China - there was a wedding on so just be sure you check about the kitchen opening hours. Both venue and the staff are great. Would definitely recommend.

The burger and fries were monumental in every way. Service a bit slow but place of heaving so understandable. Also burgers are made to order. Good beer too. Will certainly return.,

Quite a few of us went there so to try the famous scotch egg burger and I have to say it was really delicious! It was quizz night (Tuesday) and we really enjoyed our evening there!

Great range of craft beer and cocktails. Everything was reasonably priced and the burgers were AMAZING.

So we came for a beer and ended having the burgers.My brother had been before and said it was "OK". On this occasion we all agreed that it was more than OK.The burger satisfied me in many ways and the beer that accompanied it went down a treat.

Needed somewhere for an easy dinner with my other half after work, whilst waiting for friends to arrive at Kings Cross and this pub was perfect! Don't be fooled by the grotty appearance of the exterior on Googlemaps - the drinks selection is ace, the bar staff were super friendly and knowledgable and the place is awesomely decorated. We really enjoyed our Yeah burgers and appreciated the staff member's honest and helpful guidance on portion sizes (the wet fries were to die for!!) Would definitely recommend for a quirky, pleasing London pub experience.

Went here after seeing a promotion on one of the London websites about Yeah Burger kitchen residence and for the next three weeks doing a range of burgers that were encased in scotch eggs rather than buns. Just had to try it. Having never been to the place before we made a booking which turned out to be in the bar bit at the front of the pub rather than in any restaurant so thats first point lost for sitting us at a sofa and then providing fold down chairs. We all ordered one of the scotch egg burgers and I have to say they took ages to arrive nearly an hour after ordering! They looked great and the eggs in the centre were just set so nice. However, once you got into it the burger itself was bland and dry and the scotch egg over seasoned really and quite salty. Then on to the fries..... wet fries with various toppings.... great..... good idea poorly executed there was hardly any topping on them and the fries themselves just seemed like basic frozen french fries. I may be wrong on that but i would have expected a bit better quality with the fries and for them to be hotter when they reached the table. I dont know if they were struggling in the kitchen that night but the place didnt appear that busy food wise so i cant see why. Great idea, a bit rough round the edges. Experience it once but go back again? not sure.

Needed a last minute rehearsal space in an accessible location. Hadn't been to the Star of Kings pub before but staff were very helpful with the booking (a very reasonable rate for 2 hours). We hired the studio which had sound insulation and cute shabby chic decor. Would recommend to anyone wanting a decent sized space whether rehearsing or indeed social gatherings. Food looked great too. Nice London vibe, not too pretentious, good Friday night crowd.

Was really looking forward to trying this burger. Sadly the reality did not match up. It arrived looking a bit sorry for itself. The bun was incredibly greasy (how is that even possible?) and some salad would not have gone amiss to add a bit of something (anything!) to it. Patty was bland with no real taste - apart from being so incredibly salty I could not eat it. It appeared to have been pre-cooked and reheated upon ordering as was burnt round the edges but not warm in the centre and the chips were worse. Went for Yeah! fries with sauce and onions. They came out a soggy, clumped mess and again were lukewarm at best. They were clearly rehydrated potato starch and nthing like real potato. Again, they went mostly uneaten. No one asked how the food was (perhaps they are afraid of the answer?) and service was surly. "you done with these?" Charming. I would suggest you avoid paying upwards of £11 for what is far worse than a Happy Meal - which costs less than £2.50 and is much, much better quality. Certainly not worth a visit.

We've been here 3-4 times always hoping it's going to be better than it is, since it's the only bar for a couple hundred metres in any direction, but it never is. The 'beer garden' is right on York Way, which is noisy and awful. The interior space hasn't really got anywhere to sit and turns into a bizarre / awful club at night. You're better off with the Lincoln Lounge a few minutes walk south on York Way.

I feel slightly sorry for the quiz master, as we were there by accident, but it turns out to have been a very good pub quiz (came second, bottle of something bubbly and probably very acidic). Only a few quid to enter. Food was very affordable, looking at generic pub/american menu of burgers, hot dogs, sides of mac n cheese and chilli.... Would go again, though slightly out of the way if you're not near there to start with.

I go here quite often at lunchtime. The food is interesting and reasonably priced for a London gastropub. Today I met a friend there, ordered a burger for me and a salad for her from the pretty spaced out barman who had a silly woollen hat and hipster moustache. We waited some time for the food. At last a second barman came and put a hamburger and a salad on the bar counter. The barman was talking on his phone. He came over to the food, looking absent minded and started to help himself to the chips and then to the salad, with his fingers while he leaned on the counter. When he noticed we were watching, he startled, picked up the plates, and shoved them hurriedly into the hands of another barman, who disappeared. About a minute later, he came back towards us, with the plates. He stopped short of the table. "Why are you looking like that? Do you not want the food?""We saw you eating from the plates.""Oh, no. That was another order." (As if eating from another customer's dish was acceptable)In any case, I accepted the dish after that. I couldn't prove he was lying. It was late and there was nowhere quiet within easy walking distance. When I paid the bill, drawn up by the other, competent barman, there was £2.00 taken off it for "open food". I wondered if that was a kind of apology.

We held a 30th birthday here, and were really pleased with it! Had a great chilled atmosphere, and a nice varied music choice, something for everyone! Drinks were reasonably priced, and there was enough room for everyone to dance and enjoy! The only let downs were the toilets which aren't of a great standard, and some of the communication leading up to the event was a mixed with different people contacting us, and we would have liked to know another private party was in the same area on the same night. Would definitely recommend for an occasion!

I booked this venue for my 40th birthday, had the back ground floor area for around a hundred and fifty friends and it was perfect, many thanks to Chris and all the staff who couldn't have been more helpful. I had to pay £90 for a sound engineer so I could have a band but that was worth it, the Funktion One sound system sounded great all night. I'd definitely recommend this place no problems.

I've been here a few times for club nights but came on this occasion for a Yeah Burger. Had some well kept beers from Redemption brewery on which was a nice touch. The burger itself was just ok. The patty was well done when it would have been better served medium. The brioche bun was probably the best bit. Certainly not a bad burger and chips, but somewhat unremarkable. Not bad for £7 though. Worth popping in if you're in the area

Booked upstairs room for our Engagement Do. Staff were friendly and organised from the off. No charge just deposit in case we didn't show.Room was very clean and tidy for us, including tea light candles 'for ambiance'.We had our own music using iphone/ipod, which they turned up on our request as the night progressed. Lovely staff, who weren't phased by a few of our party being a bit raucous at kicking out time - they took it all in good humour. Like a lot - especially when other places charge silly amounts for room hire. Don't go changing, star of Kings x

Had a christmas party here and the atmosphere was great but the food is AWFUL. It used to be bog standard pub grub, cheap and cheerful. Now the menu only includes overpriced skewers (I ordered halloumi, had one piece on the skewer) and some extremely greasy chips! Not sure if they are trying to cut costs but it's definitely gone downhill.

I booked the newley refurbished upstairs function room at the Star of Kings for a recent surprise birthday party. The planning went really well, was very straightfoward and all the staff were helpful, friendly and did everything they could to accommodate exactly what I needed. The food was excellent (En Brochette) and everyone had a blast. The fact that they allowed us to organise pretty much what we wanted and then they offered support, the food, the bar etc. was exactly what I wanted. I would definitely book again and recommend them. The only gripe I had was the drinks were maybe a little towards the expensive end for the venue.

I had a party with my sister at this venue on Sat night, it's Wednesday and I'm still buzzing :). The management did everything they could to make our night as smooth and hassle free as possible and were totally accomodating, thank you Chris and all. The atmosphere is warm, friendly and totally condusive to having a really lovely time - we had more than 150 guests and every single one of them is smiling in every photo. Amazing sound system. A lot have people have asked us to make it an annual event, and we might!

My company did business with the owner of The Star of Kings, so we agreed to host a joint event at the pub. I was very impressed with the responsiveness of the management to our requirements, the beer is varied and of good quality, the food delicious (it was spicy 'LA Street Food' so it got people talking!) and it has the right kind of atmosphere for a networking event. We hired a room for 50, but there is space for a more intimate event or a larger event. 5 mins from Kings X so perfect for people to reach from all over London.

After seeing some of the extremely harsh reviews of one of my favourite pubs and easily the best pub in kings Cross I feel compelled to set the record straight.The Star of Kings is a unique little gem of a pub that you just don't find very often. It's a shame that most of the negative reviews come from people attending "creative belly" or "stripped back" or whatever it's called. Creative Belly is a separate company and has nothing to do with the pub other than hiring out the upstairs for a month. I'm proud to say I'm a local and regular at the Star Of Kings and as a resident of Kings Cross it's refreshing to have such a hospitable pub where the staff remember your name and what you drink and offer more than the usual bland generic pub drinks and amusements. The wine menu needs a bit of work but The Star of Kings easily has the best range of craft beers and spirits in the area (by a million miles) and refreshingly lacks the usual pretentiousness associated with hipster craft beer bars.The staff can be a bit slow sometimes when it's busy but they still have time to say hi whenever they see me. The majority are a pleasure to chat with and have excellent recommendations whenever I ask them about any drink or dish on the menu . The food is always interesting with a new pop up kitchen every few months. At the moment they have some kind of crazy Korean/Mexican fusion thing going on. And how many pubs do you know that have a Funktion1 sound system and a hidden basement club? Yes the toilets are a bit smelly sometimes but this place screams character if not class. From everything from the retro pinball machine and games table to their 30k sound system and craft beer selection. Your just not gonna find that in many pubs in London or anywhere for that matter.

Came here with a big group - we had booked the upstairs room and paid £15 a head for sharing type food for around 30 people. What we got was very average food in tiny portions - what they served us to share between 5 I could have easily finished on my own: a bowl of crisps with some pickles and dips, a bowl of chips, a handful of chicken skewers and two bite sized tuna tostadas (how we were supposed to share these out, I have no idea!). The toilets stank of dirty urinals, as did half the pub. A mojito cost £8, took about 10minutes to make and tasted of nothing but watered down rum. service wasn't great, despite the fact the place was half empty. A massive rip off and no atmosphere

Stopped by for a pint before catching a show at King's Place. The front room and outdoor area were average. Had a comfy couch and good ale. The best thing, though, was the Speck Mobile which was offering a popup menu on the premises. If they continue hosting popups, I'd definitely recommend it as a place to grab a pint and meal/snack before visiting King's Place.

Having booked an area of the pub for a monthly meeting with 30+ friends on Saturday 11/1/14, we were less than impressed with the cleanliness of the place. Nobody was impressed with the food, the service was unfriendly and drinks West End prices for cheap plonk. We were all underwelmed with our venue, but on leaving 3 of us were the last to leave premises. One of our party discovered he had left his wallet, and the doorstaff refused to allow him to re-enter the pub to look for it. A member of the barstaff went to get the wallet, and returned, after a 5 minute delay, with the wallet in tact and £160 missing. Only members of staff had access to the wallet, when he complained about the missing £160 he was thrown out by the door staff. The management have no problem with this theft by their staff. If you go to this be very careful.

Service was terrible, food was the only redeeming factor but this was heavily outweighed by a staff that didn't seem to care you were their customers and with floors were sticky and dirty.
