Hello! We are a beer bar here in N1 just round the corner from Angel tube. We do 20 beers we have great food! Not to mention a substantial beer garden and cool air conditioned bar. Come and try something new and get involved with us.
On a summer’s day, head to the walled garden of this craft beer pub, with its hops-filled plant pots, colourful bunting, hodge-podge of picnic tables, and friendly vibe. The regularly changing line-up of craft offerings is beer-nerd heaven, with nearly a dozen on keg, five or six on cask, plus a couple of quality ciders. The menu does a good line in pimped pub-grub classics, each with a beer-pairing suggestion. You’ll sometimes find a barbecue here, too – but not on Sundays, when the hugely popular roast takes centre stage.
I had dinner with the girlfriend in angel and we were looking for a drink. It wasn't too late but it seems every pub we looked for was closing around 23:00. We managed to find a pub that was open till late, this was the pub. The earl of Essex is quite a quirky pub, that looks old but I don't think it is. The staff were lovely and friendly. I will definitely go to this pub whenever I'm in Angel 😊
This is a great spot any time of the day, any day of the week. I loved swinging by for some Sunday roast and a bit of mulled wine and a few IPAs.
Very good pub about 10 minutes walk from Angel Underground Station. Four cask beers on handpump when I visited along with a lot of keg craft beers. Lots of outdoor seating in the garden to the rear some of it covered. I was only there for a quick beer but the food menu looks interesting. Friendly and helpful staff.
Truly one of the best pubs in London if you want amazing keg beers and maybe a decent plate of hot food. Also has a nice small walled garden round the back which is pretty shielded from the wind. They had a great range of beers in different styles. In a lovely area of Islington housing. What an local pub this is!
One of the great pubs. The Earl of Essex is apart of a local group of amazing craft beer pubs. All of them have a great selection of rotating taps from across the country. The Earl of Essex has a lovely garden out the back, and a well designed interior with lots of seating. The food is usually really nice, and the truffle Parmesan chips we had were very tasty. The only thing to note is that it is slightly more expensive than your average boozer.

The Island Queen really is one of a kind. Tucked away on Islington's quiet backstreets, "the Queen" is a quaint oasis of comfy sofas, high ceilings and intriguing original features reminiscent of a classic London gin palace.
