picture of Barnsbury
Just the the sort of sleek gastropub you'd expect in these parts. It covers all the gastro bases - modern art on the wall, butchers block tables and a concentration on food over drink. Given it's on Liverpool Road it has a slightly more secluded location than the bars and pubs of Upper Street, though it still pulls in the punters at peak times. You'd probably be becoming here for a meal rather than a drink and even though we had a pleasant time here, if you're thirsty there's better to be had nearby.
