Highbury Library in Islington

This a great local wine bar, serving up all sorts of interesting wines and beers. A special shout out to their cocktail list too, with the 'whisky biscuit' being a highly recommended drink!

Este lugar es una joya escondida de esta área. Tanto la comida como las bebidas son increíbles. Si no estás seguro de lo que quieres comer, solo pregúntale al chef, él te echará una mano. Tuve tacos de huevo y pescado de pato, ¡ambos fueron increíbles!

Llegué a la Biblioteca de Highbury un sábado por la noche en abril. La decoración era agradable, había una buena variedad de cócteles y unas cuantas cervezas diferentes. Los precios eran normales para esta zona de Londres. El único problema con este lugar es que es muy similar a otros pubs del norte de Londres con poco factor distintivo.

Este es un bar bellamente decorado con unas bebidas y una selección de vinilo. Me recomendó un gin que nunca habíamos probado antes, que era la Ginebra gallega Nordes por uno de los camareros excelente y estaba delicioso. Nos sentamos en el jardín y fue un pequeño oasis con luces dangly y plataforma de madera y pufs. Muy relajante. Sin duda volveré.

Este lugar que he tenido el placer de comer el desayuno (huevos) y un amigo turco tenía aguacate y el más perfecto buscando huevos escalfados. Fue tan satisfactorio. Sabes esas comidas tienes e intentar recrear porque piensa sobre ellos demasiado? La segunda vez fue para celebraciones de cumpleaños y fue una auténtica gozada. El personal era muy servicial y amable, y francamente su Espresso Martini uno de los más deliciosos que he probado. Mesa de ping pong, vinilos por todas partes, dos wc phacilities emmerette y el estadio de arsenal se puede ver perfectamente. El jardín es encantador y relajado. Me gusta mucho el ambiente aquí y no sé por qué nadie se queja de leer la crítica por encima NO ME SIENTO nada hará que algunas personas felices gracias espero su trabajo Highbury Biblioteca duro paga!

It is alright is the best I can say - right now at least! I have visited here twice and the atmosphere on both occasions felt non-existent. The wine on my first visit tasted awful; despite taking it on the recommendation of the bar. The Prosseco on my second was lovely. However I happen to know that they sell it at the Highbury Vintners up the road and you can get a bottle what you pay for a glass. Very pleased though that they are sourcing locally. At least I assume so! I see that they are now serving food. Project Awana, I think. I have not tried it but I did see the lunch menu and felt uninspired. I have heard though that the food is really good which makes me want to venture beyond the bar and give it a try. My wife and I eat out at least once a week at local places and if this venue got it right, and being just across the road from us, we would be there in a shot. I really want this place to do well because I think the community needs a hub. On Drayton Park that is lacking. We have a Tesco and a decrepit old pub nobody wants to visit. All we need is good drink at a fair price, tasty food and a bit of atmosphere. P.S I used to more frequently visit the previous incarnation at this site because it was packed on a weekend and had live music. Often just a couple musicians playing away. It was great. I'd love to see that again.

I was surprised to find a bar like Highbury Library directly opposite Emirates Stadium. I guess I was expecting a functional boozer for football fans but Highbury Library is clean and cosy and most importantly the beer I ordered (Brooklyn) was well kept. They were playing an eclectic mix of music, but I liked it all, Santana, Credence, house, hip hop, Dylan, Talking Heads. They have a sizeable record collection and if you find one you like you can ask to have it played. They have a ping pong table too. Willl def come back.

Definitely one of the best bar/restaurants in the Highbury/Drayton Park area, right beside the Emirates stadium. This is a bright and colourful little venue, like something you would find in South Florida or the Bahamas. The atmosphere is very laid-back, with good music which is not loud enough to inhibit conversation. The staff are really friendly and serve up a great range of drinks and cocktails. A highlight for me was the Brooklyn Lager on draught. There is a great range of food available including breakfast at the weekend. Adding to the Miami Beach feel is a very nice outside area to the rear. There is a large collection of vinyl on one wall and the staff will play any of the records you choose. We visited late afternoon and it was a great place to relax with a drink after a busy day. Next time we will go in the evening and eat there as well
