Quite small venue on Holloway Rd not too far from the tube station. The venue has been closed for a few years before re-opening in this incarnation. There is a covered seating area at the front. Inside the glass frontage is a bare boarded bar with the bar counter against the rear wall with a few tall stools to sit at the counter. Otherwise, seating options are some regular tables and chairs and a drinking ledge along the left-hand wall. Glass chandeliers and a glory ceiling jump out at you. The colour scheme is black and gold and a TV on the left-hand wall was showing recorded footy action sans sound, that instead provided by a very anthemic soundtrack that wanted to soar well above the moderately high ceiling! Was the only punter here on my mid evening late week visit so can only assume it has other busy times!
