Three Kings in Islington

Great relaxed atmosphere with character, I can imagine it’s fantastic when a big game of match is on. Bar staff and manager perfect 👌🏼

Outstanding night at Three Kings. The female (manager?) could not have done more to make us feel at home. She really was exceptional - funny and attentive, despite being rushed off her feet. She suggested our small party (of 3) went to the quieter room upstairs which we would not have known about. Food was delicious, arrived quickly and was reasonably priced. Despite the bar being busy I never had to wait long to be served.

My group had booked the function room. We meet and read our poetry. As I walked a member of staff jumped on us by shouting and pointing a finger at me and my son. Let alone the fact that the entrance was blocked and you had to ask people to move so you could enter the pub or leave it nothing was done to maintain access to exit door. The staff member shouting was rude, didn’t give us access to the function room even though I have been a member of the group fir over twenty years. She acted in a threatening, rude and inappropriate manner and lied to us by saying children are not allowed. The staff member claimed to be the manager and huffed and puffed and refused to give me the management details to get in touch. She said ”here’s the number, go find it yourself. ” With that attitude this lady managed to exclude a family from accessing a private function room where we were reading our own work. Our friends who were waiting got upset. We got upset. This bar manager kicked out 40% of our group. I wasn’t rude nor drunk. I didn’t disrespect this person. According to the law a child is allowed in a pub and can be asked to stay out of certain areas. I hadn’t met my group for teo months and missed them. Thank you for ridiculing me and my son in front of the whole bar and our friends. Thank you for kicking us out. Thank you for shouting at us. Thank you fir lying at us. You gave me more to write about and taught my child a lesson of what it looks like when you are morally and legally in the wrong. You also showcased what it looks like when an adult is rude and hateful and harasses a customer. Clearly you need to train your staff and establish what the rules are instead of treating two innocent people like criminals. But enjoy this review and in the meantime I shall go find myself the email on your website. And thank you for teaching my son not to swear back! I’m a proud parent.

Came here after work with some friends and had a room booked upstairs which was great. Great atmosphere and good selection and prices. Sarah was particularly great with us, can't wait to come back again!

Love this pub, a real hidden gem tucked away in a quiet street. Local vibe in the big city and a far cry from soul-less chain pubs. We reserved a table for 2 games of the Rugby World Cup and a great time had both times. Good food, pie and mash most recommended. Brilliant staff who even phoned me when I had booked a table in the wrong week! Will be back.

Great little pub in a back street in Clerkenwell, busy on a Wednesday. The quiz was fun. Will be back soon.

Excellent service. Staff very friendly. Great atmosphere, food delicious. Would recommend to anyone

A great crowd for the rugby opening, bar staff kept everyone happy with fresh beer. Love to see the place erupt in applause after points are scored. Will definitely be returning through this season.

Top spot in Clerkenwell, London. Good range of ales on draught, recommend the Doom Bar. Pint tasted very good.

I was recommended this pub by a few different work colleagues and i must say I will also be using this establishment more often. Lovely upstairs seating area and the service from Roy & Tony was exceptional. They remembered our drinks order and had drinks ready for us.

I would avoid this pub - incredibly rude manager. I booked a room in late May for 7th July using an online booking system which showed the required capacity and was confirmed. I had issues getting hold of pub on phone so visited in person in June on a quiet weekend so was able to speak to staff who confirmed booking and showed me two rooms, which were separated. I mentioned only one room with the small balcony would be needed as I expected fewer people than initially expected. I mentioned the private room would be helpful due to issues I have with loud noises which I can find incredibly discomforting and hard hear through. On the day of booking I was confused to find the room I booked had other people already occupying space. I went down to speak to the manager/owner I think who denied I had any bookings, even when I showed them the email confirmation!! He then turned away and said there was nothing he could do - even though it was his pub and could explain to people in room there had been a prior booking, I also received no apology and was instead made to feel a nuisance. The person I spoke to in-person in June was also there but said there was nothing he could do and it was the manager/owners decision. I I found the whole situation very upsetting - generally I avoid pubs due to loud noises which I struggle to hear through and can make me feel very unbalanced so go out of my way to book rooms were needed for groups. The owner/manager and staff lacked any compassion, understanding or even professionalism as they first cancelled my booking without any warning or notice. Please avoid

Great pub tucked away in Clerkenwell, busy on a Thursday night . Not to long to get served by friendly staff. Good range of beers.

The friendliest pub I’ve been to in London! Best pie and great drinks given by the manager Roy ! Would recommend any day !!!

It’s a hidden gem buried away down a secluded street. You’ll think you’re walking into your front room with the warm welcome you get from the staff! Especially the manger Roy! He’s more than happy to talk you through the drink that you need! Along with that, he will give you the best recommendations on food! MOO and blue is his personal favourite and to be honest, now mine… The thing that makes this a true pub, is the way the staff are local! Everything about the three kings is local! I genuinely couldn’t think of a better place to be on a summers day! Keep up the good work!

Great place, fantastic staff and the pies tasted good. Next time I'm in the area I'll be back. This place is a hidden gem.

First time here and won’t be the last. Was working near by so popped in for a quick glass of wine. Good wines on offer and Roy was friendly behind the bar.

Great pub that's shows sports, the cricket was on the other day. And they a fantastic range of ales, they had Brains SA ON .

Came here with my friends. We all had wine and fizz. Nice big wine glasses and service was fast. Sat upstairs as more room.

Went in and was met by excessive noise! This is a pub in the back streets of Clerkenwell, so the instantly I thought this is a great find as locals gather here. I was here on a function with friends I'd not seen for several...

Great beer, great music, great service. It's a lovely pub in the back streets of Clerkenwell. They had a great playlist on when i was there. I will most definitely be going back there.

Went there to meet some friends about 5.30 midweek. Pub not that full although the World Cup games were on, don't think I have ever seen so many TV's. Pub staff very friendly.

I love it there. Recently had a nice refurb and I must say it looks and smells better. Sean is always there whenever you want to have a deep conversation about beer

hidden in the backstreets lies a sneaky little pub in the heart of Clerkenwell. I love finding places like this! Serves pizza and has some geat beers on

We loved it there. Great little place. Very busy. Sean was super nice and funny. Me and my boyfriend go back when it the area.

They have now added PIZZA!!!!! Last time i came here it was just a wet led pub but now they have added in pizzas it makes this little (and i mean little) pub by far the best in the area. nice to Sean is still...

I had a lovely evening at The Three Kings pub. The pizza was tasty and the bar staff was great. The other customers were very friendly and I look forward to going again.

Sean & his team always provide a warm welcome. Great selection of drinks and decent food too. Relaxed atmosphere both during the day and after work. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area - either tourist, office worker or local resident.

Excellent pub to drink in love the staff amazing re fit. Worth a visit if you are in the area. Great beer and pizza.

Popped in for a pint. Received great service from the bar staff and the music was great. Had the Mac n Cheese which was delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

Started coming to this pub after lockdown as it has recently been decorated to a very fine standard. It now does food and has an excellent selection of drinks. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The music is really cool! How...

Ambiente increíble (todo es MUY genial por dentro), personal amable y música tonta. Fui con amigos y tuve la posibilidad de reservar una habitación entera arriba para nosotros, sin tener que pagar una cantidad fija en bebidas. También nos permitieron pedir pizza de una pizzería cercana.

我們享受了哈維蘇塞克斯啤酒的一品脫。 。還有調味的豬肉醬。 （受過良好教育的口味！） 牆上掛滿了許多紀念品，其中很多都與音樂有關。 我們喜歡這裡的氛圍，並發現工作人員友好而樂於助人。

We enjoyed a well kept pint of Harvey's Sussex Ale..along with flavoured pork scratchings. (an educated palate!) The walls are covered with lots of memorabilia, quite a lot of which is music related. We liked the ambience & found the staff friendly and helpful.

Worked in this area for years, this is always good for beers on the street in summer. Then head inside for incredible bar snacks and table food. It’s got a lot of character and charm.

Friendly pub, tucked away in a quiet lane. The women behind the bar make swift and serious cocktails. Lovely fire downstairs. Good room for meetings upstairs. My colleague had a toddler who was made very welcome.

Good for simple pub food for lunch. Reasonably priced considering located in Clerkenwell. Cozy and small. Friendly staff

Vamos mucho con el trabajo, tanto para el almuerzo y bebidas en la noche. Chili en el almuerzo es simplemente delicioso - carne y vegetarianos opciones tanto encantador (o mitad y mitad si quieres) con arroz o nachos horneados encima - absolutamente delicioso. El personal es paciente dando grandes pedidos de grupo, dispuestos a aceptar órdenes, y en particular muy amable cuando vamos. Hermoso lugar para las bebidas de la noche también - buena selección y acogedoras habitaciones de arriba para grupos grandes.

Great decor, feel quite at home here. Great neighbourhood as well. Wish I had visited the pub more often than I did.

Это типичный английский паб в двух шагах от станции метро. Внутри есть все: много пива, дартс, автоматы и т. п. Публика соответствующая...

We reserved an upstairs room. We did not eat but had plenty of beer. The Harvey's was wonderful. I did not realise it was sold this far north. London prices, £4.50 a pint but well worth it.

What a great place with a great feel of a local family run pub. Warm welcome, interesting decor and good ales. It was peaceful, not a word often used for London pubs. But I can imagine it being packed at times as a great location

A 'traditional' pub with a great gin selection and some nice food for a lunch time. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. Well worth a lunch time visit if you work in the area.

A treasure of a London pub. Warm and magical in the winter, refreshing and friendly in the summer as people spill into the street. A great place to catch up with friends.

Small pub, simply furnished, fair character, good staff and decent service. Good if you would like a quieter venue, nice location next to an attractive church. Toilets a could do with a refurb, Slightly more unusual choice of beers.

nice sport pub where you can enjoy a good choice of beers and watch sports on big screen. Food is typical english pub style, I ate Hamburger with cheddar cheese and fries, not bad!

Almorzamos aquí en dos ocasiones ya que estaba cerca de nuestro alojamiento y buena relación calidad-precio. El pub está sucio y cautivador, mucha historia de Clerkenwell en las paredes. El menú es pequeña, con sólo media docena de platos, pero todos eran buenos. Entre los cuatro de nosotros probamos casi todo en el menú, y cada uno de nosotros nos gustó a todos. El personal es lo que quieres en un pub, amable y hablador, con buenas sugerencias de bebida. Sin duda volveré.

Awesome bar, friendly and good food. Its one of those all year round places.Cosy in winter or stand outside next to the church in summer. There's also upstairs space!

Worked in the area for over 10 years and it has a rich variety of descent after work boozers, sadly, this one has now been permanently removed from the list. On a Friday night, it's just not even feasible unless you enjoy the prospect of spending 20 minutes waiting in a queue. When finally managing to fight your way through to the front of the bar, you'll be welcomed by a couple of ladies who overall service and demeanour would be more suited to working in the American chain of restaurants aptly named "Dicks." At least over the pond, this all round rudeness and abrupt behaviour is a USP and one that does surprisingly well, the same can't be said for this poor excuse of a free house. To top it off, should you wish to use the facilities it does capture a certain Victorian charm to be fair and by which I mean, it smells you're standing in 2 feet of urine. Charming.

I've been here many times. There is a wide selection of drinks, from the pump, spirits and also a goo wine list.There are also bar snacks.The service is excellent! A great place to visit!

Busy cramped pub and you have to drink in plastic cups when you go outside. Standard issues in Farringdon post work. Reasonably priced.

Bought a pint of ale and a G&T for a tenner. Since when has this become acceptable? What made it worse was that my G&T was served in a wine glass and they didn't even give me the whole mini bottle of tonic; they were giving customers half and saving the rest for the next person who orders tonic. For over £5 I think this is outrageous.Good atmosphere in here, but it's just way too pricey.

Loved this place! Cozy with friendly staff, nice jovial crowd, and great pub fare. I had to try the classic scotch egg which I liked very much, but I also had one of the best meals during my stay in London here- spicy lamb sausage with mint dip and a side of hummus and pita. Very good sized portion, hot and fresh washed down with a pint of cold lager. NOM NOM NOM! And even better, it was really affordable. Eat here drink here!

Bar muito legal que homenagea os tres acima. Super cosy, com drinks originais. Para um fim de noite. Lembrando dos padroes londrinos. As 23 ja esta fechado.

Okay, I was too early they just had opened so it was pretty empty. Bu t this wateringhole has real character, and would have missed this great experience had Jerusalem Tavern been open.

This is a favourite pub whenever I am visiting friends in London. It's warm, friendly, and full of character - the menu is short but perfect for a quick snack, lunch or supper, and anywhere that features 'guest scotch eggs' as well as a gin list is fine in my book.
