Fairly good live music. 1 star only, however, as the security guard made a very serious mistake, was stubborn and promised to punch me if I continued to ask for the manager because he was 'a professional'. If I were the owner, I would fire the guy on the spot. The crowd was pretty rough, too.
Roughest bar in Islington?
Went there with my girlfriend to watch some live music. The band was good but the crowd was pretty rough. I asked the bloke on the table next to me if he could stop talking over the music and his Irish dad his said he can do what he liked and if I didnt like it he would put my girlfriends head though the window.
Told this to another Travelling Irishman behind the bar who said he didnt care.
We left.
Am a big fan of Round Midnight. I've been an Islington local for 5 years now and in my opinion, the area's been crying out for a place like this. I think the Viewlondon reviewer got it just right- this is a no-frills venue, pretty sparse and what you see is what you get. It's not trying to be anything it isn't. The place is clean, the drinks are well made and of a high standard and the bar staff are very friendly to boot! I've been their quite a few times now. I can't say I've enjoyed every band I've seen there but I'm glad that there's a place that's prepared to push a few boundaries. So far I've seen a New Orleans Jazz band, a Jamaican Funk Band, lots of terrific Blues bands and a virtuoso acoustic guitarist playing solo and not even singing. Keep it up!
What a find! I've been an Islington local for 6 years now and always steered clear of this pub.
When they changed the name, I went in one Saturday night and saw an amazing Blues band.
Liked it so much I went back the next week.Not too many beers to speak of (but it is a small place) but had a good pint of Deuchers IPA.
The food was very good but not too much choice either.
Just what this area needs! 5 stars
I went last night to see some live music, unbearably hot in there and staff were rude. I'm afraid it did not live up to expectations.
Went there last weekend and saw 2 of the best shows of my life!
This is a stunning and very intimate bar and the atmosphere during the gigs was electric. Will DEFINITELY be going back
