The Cally - Islington

I have been working in the area for over 23 years and have been visiting the pub since the current management took over. The changes that have been made are definitely for the better. Although the big screens may attract a few rowdy individuals on football nights, there is nothing to worry about as the management and staff quickly handle any issues to ensure that customers are happy and having a good time. It is disappointing when someone with ulterior motives tarnishes the good reputation of the owners, locals, visitors, and the pub in general.

Best be in the in crowd here dangerous for anyone who does not support the right team is not the right race or religion. Worst experience I have ever had in a pub the landlord happily sided with those threading to rip the shirt off my Jewish friend

Incredibly friendly warm and welcoming staff had a great time there and the food is delicious. Can’t wait to visit again:

I was warned by a neighbor not to visit this pub unless accompanied by a regular, as I might get in trouble for not being a local. Despite the warning, I decided to go in during the afternoon and found a friendly bartender, two couples at one table, and two girls at another. They didn't appear to be looking for a fight with me or anyone else, so I realized that the warning was unfounded. I didn't eat, but enjoyed a nice pint of Guinness and will probably visit again when I'm in London.

My friends came over for a week and stayed in the area so we met for few drinks in this pub. Drinks were cheap; loads of choices, food was good (2 friends chose beef burger and they said it was very tasty). Portion of chips was quite generous.
