Islington Arts Club

Islington Arts Club enjoys a prominent position on Upper Street, close to Highbury & Islington station, benefiting from strong visibility and high footfall. The attractive exterior opens into a well-presented, open-plan ground floor trading area with hardwood flooring and seating for approximately 55 customers. Two raised seating areas, combining fixed banquette seating with relaxed lounge-style furniture, create a comfortable and versatile space suited to both drinking and dining occasions.

The main bar on the ground floor is well equipped with 11 keg taps and two cask ale handpulls, supported by a fully stocked back bar with bottle fridges and spirit shelving. A fully equipped trade kitchen with full extraction and gas supply allows for a strong food offering.

The property also benefits from a large first-floor function room, accommodating up to 60 standing or 30 seated guests, complete with its own bar servery and private toilet facilities, offering excellent potential for private hire and events. Additional facilities include a basement cellar with a cold room, office, and extensive storage.

Externally, the pub offers two trading areas, including pavement seating to the front and a more secluded rear garden, providing valuable outdoor space in a busy central London location.

This is a standout pub opportunity in Islington, London, set in the heart of the city and perfectly suited to a creative, city-centre operator looking to make their mark.
