The Island Queen London Reviews


Appaling - A truly repulsive place. The interior is pretty, but is let down in spectacular fashion by the rudest staff i have ever encountered. Slow, dismissive, sneering and incompetent. And then, when called to account, massively aggressive. This pub is a disgrace. I urge you to avoid it at all costs and find somewhere deserving of your custom. The brilliant Colebrooke Row. The welcoming Albion. The homely Barnsbury. Anywhere but this excuse for a venue.

What a shame! - Used to be a nice pub, but it has gone dramatically downhill. Food is appalling, and the staff are extremely rude,arrogant and confrontational.

Much better pubs in the surrounding area.

Avoid as much as you can. You won't regret it.

Good local pub for locals - This pub is pretty good in my opinion. The location is great and it has character and atmosphere. On a Friday or Saturday night when most Islington pubs are rammed, this is a good spot for locals.

Once nice, gone horribly wrong... - How times change. This used to be a lovely quirky pub. But was in the Island Queen the other night and the service has become to say the least a little angsty. You can't you not play your own music if you rent the room upstairs (which is lovely decor wise and a bit of a find), as the venue doesn't have a PRS license for anything but library music (!). Hard to imagine anyone in trendy Islington wanting to put up with a single CD of library music (bizarre).

Not only this but we had to endure a self-important member of staff who was helping out when off duty (and drunk) who then got abusive with a lady in our party and tried to start a fight with two different people and called a customer "a b**ch". Hardly inspiring customer service! I hear it's become a chain pub now so don't be fooled by the (admittedly lovely) Edwardian interior. Same jobsworth attitude you get in chain pubs too often. Avoid.

Pirate's Booty - Great locals-only pub off the beaten track. Great decor (or lack thereof) and a wide variety of beers on top. The food is fairly good for pub food but this place is primarily a refuge from the masses on Upper Street, and an excellent one at that.

Treasure Island - Great local boozer tucked away in Islington. This pub has a very laid back feel with a fair selection of beer and wine, foods ok and the music is cool.
Back in the late 70's i visited a pub in London which had
mannequins hanging from the ceiling, but i couldn't remember what it was called or where it was. Fast forward to 2007 and now living in Islington checking out the local bars i stumbled across the Island Queen. Turns out this was the pub i originally visited, the mannequins no longer hang from the ceiling,they now reside in the celler.

Hidden treasure - I couldn't decide whether to write a review of this place or not, as I would prefer to keep it to myself!!
The pub is hidden away in a quiet residential area round the back of the Regents Canal. They do food but I wouldn't recommend it, just come along have a pint and soak up the atmosphere.
As this place is off the beaten track it doesn't get too packed.............let's keep it that way.
