Doreen's review of The Old Queen's Head

This North London boozer is an institution. Hardly an evening goes by without it being packed out – testimony to it's great line up of DJ's, live music events & an amazing atmosphere. I wanted to reserve an area on a Tuesday & couldn't believe it was booked up! So eventually I booked for Wednesday & celebrated a belated birthday as my friend (the birthday girl) couldn't be bothered to go anywhere else. It was a good decision as there was a night called Magpies Nest on tha Wednesday with some lovely folk music – perfect to celebrate the night. We ordered some bar food – grilled courgettes with halloumi, fried chicken, bruchetta & lamb koftas and they were simply gorgeous. We stayed till close with none of us wanting to leave. Twas a good night spent in the company of good friends in a brilliant venue.
