With a great selection of craft beers, delicious wines from around the world, Barrel-aged Negroni and G&T trees; there's no better place to stop by on Upper Street. Barrel-aged Negroni, fruity reds and local beers are a King's Head Theatre must.
Known for their light bites; the pantry is packed with pickled goods and mouth-watering toasties. Sit back and soak up the atmosphere inside or on their street seating. Immerse yourself into the world of show business and jazz. The King's Head Theatre pub is the perfect place to enjoy a pre-show tipple or bite to eat, before pulling back the theatre doors and enjoying a show.

It's great that we still have these old pubs which retain its original character (as opposed to some of my favourites that have been stripped out and devoid... don't get me started!) But my second pet hate is short measures (why do pubs do this?). Experience spoiled by the barman arguing with a customer rather than simply apologising and topping their pint up :(

Great to be back seeing live theatre again! The current show, the award-winning No Strings Attached, is actually not at the King's Head Theatre Pub but 2mins up the street at a new site-specific pop-up venue The Ignition Room within the Islington Square development. The show's thought provoking and runs until 19-Jun, catch it while you can!

After so much gentrification, I naturally seek those old school-style boozers which are quickly disappearing. At the King's Head pub on Upper Street, which is only a few minutes walk from Angel/Highbury & Islington station, I am so happy to have found one.
Even before I stepped inside, the noticed the handsome exterior with its dark marble facade, pillars, and old-style letterings announcing the pub to passersby. Once I stepped inside, I noticed how cosy it was. The inviting bar dominates the centre room, the wooden floor creaks beneath you, and posters of old movies and movie stars adorn the

Stay away from this place ... Arrogant bar staff ... The only reason we went there was because of the good reviews ....we waited for almost 20 minutes and we did not get served ... The bar staff kept serving other people and avoiding us ....when we politely told him that we have been waiting here for 20 minutes and have not been served he was rude and arrogant and he told us you will have to wait another 20 minutes ... So we left and went to the Hope and Anchor where the service was awesome ....

I absolutely love going here! First off this is a proper theatre even though it's behind a pub. They host some really cool shows here. Given the size it is intimate but it adds to the experience of the show and all the shows adapt so well to it, that you cannot imagine it being performed anywhere else. They do shows for kids too, and serve generally 11 flavours of ice-cream 😀. For the price of the ticket this is just amazing.
Also if you don't fancy pub food there are so many food places around here that you can make a afternoon or night out of this so easily!
