Will Larter left this review about The Old Ivy House
Slightly eccentric corner pub with three hand pumps, just Spitfire on at the time of my visit, and another pump clip turned around. Indian food available and live music Fridays and on occasional Saturdays. Eclectic music track at just the right volume: loud enough to be enjoyable but so loud that you can't talk to anyone. My half of Spitfire was ok (NBSS 3, £6.20/pint).

Nice enough pub - had Spitfire on draught which was OK. Bit quiet on Sunday night.

Much as described below, this is quite a dark and gloomy place but quite dated with the bare brick and wagon wheels on the wall and barrels as tables; it's a bit Schooner Inn.
Sport played with the sound down, thankfully but I didn't take well to the overly loud music.
The landlord (American?) was very friendly and my pint of Bishops Finger was fine (I didn't clock the price).
I'd come here again but it's a far from being the best in EC1.
