Jan 2024 - be warned - not open - our reporter says, "It opened shortly after Library closed but then shut again. Perhaps the operator has got cold feet?"

Dec 2023 reopened as Islington Arts Club and using their words, "late-night dance bar, bringing a series of different sounds throughout the week. Hosting Resident DJs and nights bought to you by Artists from all around the globe. "

No cask beer expected - once upon a time it had two handpumps and Cask Marque roundels with beers from such as Sambrook's available.

This is its seventh name in the last fifteen years or so but according to the various websites, little has changed in it's latest disguise. It remains primarily a live music, open mic and DJ venue with details of its forthcoming events listed on its website.

Once upon a time it was a Whitbread pub.
