Great live music, tasty Thai food, amazing vibe :)
This is one of my favourite bars to chill in
Dark n moody but nice pub for a quiet chat in little nooks
A great fun night out - and if you get to meet the manager Giulio you are guaranteed a great time!
I was working in the building across the road and this pub caught my eye so I decided to give it a try.
The staff were friendly and attentive, I opted for the for the Moo Pie, Mash, Peas & Gravy which was fresh and tasty.
I will definitely head back and try some of the other pies on the menu.

🚇 Highbury & Islington
🍺 £6.60 Camden Hells
❤️ A steady Islington boozer.
.
The Library is located at the top end of Upper Street not far from Highbury Corner. The nearest Tube is Highbury & Islington.
.
This pub was built in 1856 and started life as The Angel & Crown. From 2000 to 2009 this pub had a bit of an identity crisis and was renamed five times, Stonegate who own this pub settled on The Library, probably in homage to Arsenal’s old Highbury Stadium.
.
This is a compact one bar pub which has two distinct indoor areas. At the front is plenty of seating with two raised areas. As you move further through this cobalt blue panelled pub you arrive at the servery which is located back right which has additional seating in front. At the back of the bar is a false bookcase which is the door to a small courtyard beer garden. At the front of the pub are some benches if you want to soak up some rays or watch the comings and goings of busy Upper Street.
.
The beer choice was ok and keg only. I decided on a pint of Madri but unfortunately they had run out so I opted for a Camden Hells instead. I really enjoyed my pint even if it was a little pricey. The food menu is all about @pieminister pies, pie, mash and gravy costs £9.50 which is I thought was reasonable.
.
On arrival, the atmosphere was upbeat and buzzing, there were plenty of Arsenal fans in having a few liveners before the Arsenal v Wolsburg game. The service was good, the Lady on duty coped well on her own.
.
The @libraryislington is a steady Eddie type pub that does the basics well. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

For the literati, the Library is a wonderful pub. The welcome is exquisite and service exemplary. Why is it called the library? I know not. Anyway a great place to visit.
Just had the BEST pie ever at this little Gem of a pub. Just make sure you check out the secret garden and they have live music there every Wednesday. Super friendly welcome from the bar team was the icing on the cake!
Stumbled across this pub to hide from the rain. The service was fantastic, especially from a barmaid called Ksenia! Cant thank her enough. We had a lovely conversation, the music was great and the Guiness was delicious! Will definitely be coming back :)
A great pub with lovely atmosphere and amazing food. Have to mention the barmaid Melissa she was really helpful and also served every customer with a smile on her face
Lovely little pub! Friendly atmosphere, good beer and the service was fantastic! A young girl called Ksenia was very friendly and helpful.
And the toilet was clean which is rare! Thank you!
Very friendly and welcoming pub! Lovely food and a great selection of drinks! Will definitely be returning
What an absolute find!! Love this place recommend 100% staff amazing drinks are served cold and crisp! Honestly go to this pub
I came into the pub yesterday after cycling 100miles around Norfolk. I was going to an event at Union Chapel. I was wet, hungry and stressed about my bicycle being left outside as I had forgotten my wheel lock. Kaz and Leo who were working were so so kind to me and helped look after my bike and bags during the event. Such wonderful hospitality! Thanks cool cats!
Also the Pie was delicious with super dopper thick gravy!!!
Thank you so much!
Stumbled across this lovely bar by complete chance and we loved it, atmosphere was great & the staff were all super friendly, we ended up staying a tad longer than we originally intended but it was time well spent 😃
Good lager selection, nice cosy vibe and I particularly enjoyed the secret bookshelf entrance to the smoking area. However drinks are a tad pricey and tables can fill up quite quickly...
Great Bar staff was quite during our visit super place
