Brewhouse & Kitchen, Highbury Corner, N5

I had to wait at the bar for the barman to finish discussing the rota with a couple of off duty staff which is unacceptable. It's this sort of attitude that made this place empty when the Hen and Chickens across the road was heaving. The drinks selection of standard draught and Amstel is what you would expect from a place that only exists for the drunken hoards on a Friday and Saturday night. There are plenty of plasma screens dotted about and whilst I was there loud mass produced dance music was blaring out of the speakers, even though the pub was empty. I finished my pint in the paved beer garden out the front whilst I looked over the road and wished I had stayed there.
