Reviews for The Old Queen's Head

This place is a right gem. I go there at least once a month on weekend nights. They always seem to have big name dj's playing and the is vibe is awesome. If you're looking for a good party in Angel I strongly recommend it. I've had a cracking roast there and seen good bands and comedy in their function room on the odd Sunday too.

Recommended!!!

Yet another music bar cum club cum pub in Angel but they put a lot of effort into putting together their lineups and the djs are actually pretty good. I wouldn't necessarily say that they cater to niche music, but it's a change from the usual Angel crowd and people here seem like they're really having a good time.

Whoever does the booking does a fantastic job at staying current with music trends and there's always something for everyone here. Every time I've been there is always a massive lineup to get inside, and once you're inside the bar, you have to line up yet again to go upstairs to where the dancefloor is. Lots of couches but generally they get pushed to the side so that people can dance.

I was there last Saturday and I felt like I was in a university pub, I had never seen so many WASTED 20-somethings in my life; they were absolutely loaded - but they were having a good time!
