Good solid pub. The selection of beers is extensive, and the gin cocktail list is worth a look too. Great ambience and character in a local neighbourhood spot.

I am in love with their dishes. They have one of the yummiest food in town. I tried their salad and I’m already in love with it. The veggies were so fresh and green. Also the ambience is so good. I’m happy I visited this place. Also they have yummy deserts one should definitely try.
We pressed on towards Angel, and decided to make one more stop at the Earl of Essex, a craft beer pub tucked away in a residential part of Islington. Tom took us via Camden Passage – a lively little pedestrian street which I can’t believe I have never found before. Taro was on the hunt for food, but we managed to stay on track and got some seats at the bar. I love a good beer board, and the Earl of Essex didn’t disappoint. The selection is fantastic – I knew most of the breweries but they had some really interesting beers from each one. We tried all sorts, making up for my lack of a beer flight at the Taproom earlier on:Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale, Brugse Zot Brune, Moor Revival, Offbeat Grateful Deaf, Liverpool Beer Co American Red & IPA, Magic Rock Clown Juice and Arbor Twigs in Space were all sampled. I was particularly impressed by the Liverpool Beer Co offerings. Moor Beer Co (Somerset) continue to be one of my favourite breweries. There are lots of great beers in the fridge too, including some craft cans all the way from Maui in Hawaii – Maui Brewing Co Big Wave will convert you to canned beer.It’s a very friendly pub, and the staff looked after us very well (especially hungry Taro – see his previous List form here). Everything on the food menu is paired with a beer that they should have in stock. There is a nice garden out back too, though we don’t have many beer garden days left this year. Whilst Tom and I chatted about football, Taro befriended a barman who works round the corner at Smokehouse – a new gastropub (near the top of The List’s most wanted) with smoked meats and a huge amount of beer on tap. It is one of many places around Upper Street that I need to start ticking off – House of Wolf, John Salt, North Pole, 69 Colebrooke Row, Ottolenghi and Slim Jim’s to name a few! Thanks to Tom and Taro for kicking off the Islington List exploration. mattthelist.com
