    Great for a coffee anytime, a good cocktail in the evening, the pizzas are good quality, tasty, and really cheap especially if you collect. Staff delightful. Tasteful conversion of an old saloon room pub. Accommodate walk ins even when it’s busy. Can’t fault it!

    Cute place close to Galloway road, the waiter/barman was super kind and professional. We tried antipasti tagliere Di salumi, it was ok. The best dishes is Pizza, very nice. Good experience

    Love this place! Visited on Saturday. Beautiful interior design, excellent cocktails. Lovely live jazz music and the best real Italian pizza - my favourite is the Killer Queen pizza. I will be back regularly.

    This place is awesome. Francis is so welcoming, attentive, flexible and open to all feedback. I went for birthday cocktails with a friend and my dog was welcome. Francis made me a cocktail that wasn’t on the menu, and was genuinely interested in my thoughts about it. He made the atmosphere so calm and friendly that we stayed for pizza, it was one of the best gluten free pizza’s I’ve had, the chef was so generous with the toppings as well, top notch. I mean I loved Blend so much I moved my official birthday drinks to it the next day haha my friends are all in agreement that it’s a lovely place! Francis might be adding sushi to the menu and gave us some tasters, it’s hard to find good sushi in London and I was shocked but pleasantly surprised that it was good! Great pizza and sushi?! I don’t get it either but I accept it. We need to keep local places like this open and thriving so please visit and tip well :)

    Love the vibe of the place. Amazing cocktails and pizzas. This is a great place to hang out with friends on a casual drinking night, especially when they have their live music & events. They are also a great venue for hire, very welcoming.

    Very chilled out venue with regular live music. Great cocktails with lots of choice- especially love the gin lizz! Pizza was amazing :) The owner Francis is very attentive and welcoming!

    This place needs more recognition. It has the best of both worlds. If you want a place where it is buzzing on the weekends and has live music. This is the place. If you have a date or want to have a catch-up with your friend and need a quieter, chill environment this is your place, especially over the weekdays. Great seating and they also have vegan options too! Service, food was amazing and the owner is super lovely. I am a huge introvert, but felt so at ease and comfortable ordering and he was very accommodating and patient. Please go if your near Islington.

    One of the best bars I’ve ever visited in London. Staff are all super friendly and the place has generally got a nice atmosphere. Very good selection of drinks and the pizzas are awesome. Live music lots of the time as well. Would definitely recommend!
