Had an awesome time here last Saturday. The combo of great cocktails and wicked tunes had everyone dancing (woke up with sore muscles everywhere!) A good place for a late night on Upper St. Just make sure you bring your ID as the doorman asked (I'm 26!).

I want to give this place no star, but it won't let me.

After promising to reserve an area for a large party booking, they cancelled on us the night before. Bunch of b@~~ards.

Don't go here...they don't deserve the business.

I really can't describe how much I disagree with the last reviewer! I hadn't been to the Keston Lodge before last Saturday but nothing will be keeping me away after the night me and my mates had on the 24th April! We arrived about 9pm and from start to finish we had a fantastic night. Even the bouncers were unusually friendly as the ushered us in, nothing like the goons other bars seem to love employing.

The place wasn't too busy when we arrived which gave us the chance to squat on the end someone else's table and enjoy a few first pints (price incidentally is pretty competitive for islington 3.40 a pint).

Anyway by 10pm the place was filling up, the crowd was friendly, everyone mingling and loads of girls! The staff were amazing considering how busy it was - I never waited more than a few minutes for a drink. The idea they are too cool to serve you is utter rubbish, they were all busting a gut on Saturday and were never rude or unhelpful even when my silly friend mislaid her coat!

Best bar in Angel, best night I've had in ages. See you next week!

I have been going to the Keston Lodge for a few years now and have to say that sadly of late it has become a far too pretentious for my liking. If you fancy going to a bar where the staff can't be bothered with you, is far too overcrowded, plays banging uncomprehensible music and 15 men for every woman then the Keston is the place for you. I'd say try some of the other bars on Upper Street intstead as you will have a far better time.

Headed to Keston for a friends birthday on a Thursday night. Soon realised that cocktails are 2 for 1 on a Thursday which was awesome!

There was a DJ later in the evening. Really recommend this place, great vibe and good banter with the bar staff.

Thanks for the Friday hangover at work!!!

Sunday's my favourite day of the week, the day that i get nurse my hangover with a glass of wine, some food and a paper.

This was my plan last weekend, unfortunately it didn't last long.

I headed to the Keston Lodge with some (very hungover) friends and we grabbed a bite to eat and nestled into the sofa's for a few drinks, before we knew it the place was transformed into a live music venue.

I've never seen this here before but it was great, there was an awesome buzz around the whole venue, the place was busy but not packed and it turned out to be a great evening, some good live acts and some DJs filling the gaps in between, all helped by some cheap cocktails.

Suffice to say Monday morning wasn't so pleasant. Looking forward to the next one.

Having been a regular visitor at the keston lodge for over a year now, I find the lastest review a little hard
to take in, I have never had a bad meal or experience in there. Sure the service can be a little relaxed
at times, and when it's busy there may be a longer delay than usual, but the food has always been great.

I was only in there this week with my partner and we both had a great meal from their new menu, the service was fine
and the food arrived within 15mins!

The staff have always been great, friendly and polite, fair enough they seem to have a laugh and a joke behind the
bar but who wouldn't. My only negative comment is that there is no real table service, you have to order both your
drinks and food from the bar...

This aside I would recomend the Keston Lodge to anyone!

Do yourself a favour.... NEVET EAT AT THE KESTON LODGE!A group of 8 of us headed there for a Sunday Roast and were disapointed on every level. The starters came at the same time or after the main courses, the roasts were stone cold and one meal never arrived at all.

The worst part of it was the service and the attitude of the staff and the Manager. 3 roast dinners arrived with no roast potatoes! When we mentioned this to the bar staff, one of them eventually came over with a bowl of potatoes, threw them down on the table and said "better?", sarcastically.Awful food, awful service, don't waste your time!
