The Harlequin

My absolute favourite pub in Angel! This is a quiet haven to decompress and read after a stressful day at work, and a regular stop for me on the way home. It has a very warm, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is always exceptionally friendly and nice. It’s a nice and warm escape in the winter, and for hot summer days, they have a beautiful hidden garden in the back to seek refuge from direct sunlight and the scorching heat. Without doubt the loveliest place to spend an evening in the area (and arguably, in London)!

A village community pub in old Clerkenwell. Established 1884 this narrow front terrace pub has a beautiful green tiled facade in front of a spacious, single room around a square centre bar. Gorgeous aged, original floor with cellar trap under a variety of low seats & plenty of tables. This well loved pub has modernised, pretty rustic wood cladding on the walls & bar to compliment from original floor through squared & harlequin windows to cladding ceiling. It's dressed down but features theatrical art & original centrepiece fireplace. An excellent beer selection from 20th century bar set near a well dressed sky light & a cute, backyard secret garden. Great tunes & no screens create a good, feel good vibe. There's an excellent quality about the care invested in making this pub a peaceful, destination of artistry & love.

The best pub in London in my opinion! It is cozy with very friendly staff and a great selection of draft beers (I’ve tried them all!). Had many great times here with friends - long live the Harlequin!

A charming independent pub near Angel, tucked away just off the main road. The drinks were enjoyable, with a nicely poured pint of Blue Moon for £6.50 and a good quality rosé. The snack options—Torres crisps and some Perello olives—were a nice addition. The bartender was friendly enough, though not overly chatty. The pub garden, while small, was busy, while the interior was quiet and cozy. The decor adds to the inviting vibe, and it’s easy to imagine it being even more magical around Christmas. The space feels like a blend of British and Southern European. It’s not the most obvious spot, so keep an eye out when walking by. Definitely worth a visit, especially with a Citystack card!

One of the most wonderful, atmospheric and beautiful pubs in the area. Great staff and great beer, what's more to ask for? The team have kept this pub true to it's original form whilst ensuring it's clean and well looked after. The beer selection ranges from some great lagers to a few more hard to come by IPAs, including at the time of writing a Vedett Pilsner. We were really looked after by the pub staff and will be back again.

I loved the atmosphere and the decor. The bartenders were polite and friendly and they serve some really tasty and reasonably priced bar snacks. We tried the olives wrapped with anchovies and the stuffed peppers and they were 👌 . Very cute garden too.

The Harlequin is the best pub in the area. It’s easy to come with a group, with friends, on a date, or solo with a book. Nice beer selection, great nachos, and it’s open late too. The bartenders Tania and Matheus make the place feel like home. 5 stars.

This is a gorgeous little pub hidden in Angel, round the corner from Sadlers Wells. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Amazing what you can find when you look.
