Not immediately the best looking pub from outside, right on the noisy Pentonville Road, The Castle is, in fact, rather good. Inside the décor is more pub than bar, with some original features still in tact, complimented by cushions and couches giving it a more modern feeling. The atmosphere was trendy but not pretentious and the customers reflected this, along with the staff who were more friendly and efficient than average. On top of this food looked well priced and interesting. The main draw, however, is clearly the large roof terrace, understandably busy on our warm weekday evening visit. Better than most this close to Angel tube, The Castle receives a strong three-pint rating.
