About Alwyne Castle
Large pub, conservatory and beer garden with scrubbed tables and mismatched chairs.
Trading for a while as just The Alwyne (the Alwyne family were Earls of Northumberland and Lords of Canonbury Manor), the pub is now a typical Islington upmarket refurbishment with voluminous sofas, low tables and exposed ducting. Gastro-pub style food is offered daily, for fuller details go to their website with sample menus. There is a large outside seating area with patio heaters. Tuesday quiz nights. Disabled people will welcome the ramped access and accessible toilet. As well as the draught cask beers a selection of Czech pilsners, German lagers and American "craft" beers are available.
Feb 2023 - NOTE, payment by card only, cash not accepted.

We had the most incredible baby shower at this awesome venue yesterday. It was the perfect spot for a small gathering, and the service was absolutely amazing! I can't say enough good things about Manuel, Rachel, and Chris. They went above and beyond to make our day extra special and were so incredibly helpful throughout the entire event. It was truly an unforgettable experience!

A fun pub for outside socialising during summer. Fine for drinks if you don't mind a longer wait at the bar (I waited about 10 mins); would not recommend food (expensive for what you get; quality is not good). I got the "nachos" - which should be advertised as tortilla chips, as there's not much else with them (minimal guac, pico de gallo, sour cream; found a small amount of melted cheese at the bottom). Couldn't eat much as they were unbearably oily, and in desperate need of accompaniment. The £6 chicken side dish consisted of the smallest chicken strips I've seen to date - we thought at…

We booked out the conservatory area at the back of the pub for a book launch event and it was absolutely perfect! I can't recommend this space enough, it's so gorgeous and atmospheric. The staff are so helpful and kind, they really did everything they could to make the night special. The food was 10/10 we couldn't ask for anything more!

We came for the quiz, and we won the quiz. For starters, we went outside for a cigarette and someone took all of the drinks off our table (Including an unfinished bottle of wine, and two beers). Then we had a good time at the quiz, and we won the bar tab of 50 quid. Then we were told there was a bonus CASH jackpot worth 10 times the bar tab which we had battle 12 teams over 2 hours to win. This was a choice of one in three question, which we didn't get correct, and then the second team got their question correct (Why was that question 10 times easier than the actual quiz questions). It…
