Poor place well described by Tris below. I won't be returning either.

The name in carved brick to the parapet shows that this pub was once called The Carved Red Lion, renamed in 2006 as The Winchester. Well it isn't a pub now, rather it's a cocktail bar with DJs spinning discs until 4.00 am on Saturdays.
We arrived on our early week late evening crawl to find a fairly typical cocktail bar. Not traditional, not stylish, not super modern...just a bit bland. Sort of a cheap attempt to appear upmarket; naturally all the pub's fittings have been ripped out.
Our only other drinking partners were two middle-aged couples who were pissed off their faces and starting to fight with each other, bumping into us with a slurred 'sorry'. The barman looked thoroughly fed up and feeling the urge to leave pronto, we necked our halves of £2.30-a-half craft ale and looked for anywhere else.
I think this must be the worst place in N1, so no surprises that I won't be returning.
