“Just popped in for a summer cider to the steam passage on upper street Islington. The staff were fantastic and advised us on special offers and discounts. Thanks for a fabulous drink.”

“ Angel  £5.45 Amstel A Traditional Upper Street Pub Experience. The Steam Passage is located on the lower end of bustling Upper Street in Islington. The nearest Tube is Angel, it’s a five minute walk to get here. This pub was built in 1843 and was originally called The Star & Garter. The pub was renamed The Champion in 1973 after its licensee, Len Harvey a former champion boxer. He fought 418 contests, winning three British and Empire titles - across three different weights. The pub was renamed again The Passage in 1983 and The Steam Passage in 2016. This is a good size pub that is split level and traditionally decorated. The servery is centrally located and is ‘L’ shaped with a solid wood counter. In the front bar area are a few poser tables, down the right are cosy curved banquettes, at the back is a carpeted area with traditional tables and chairs. Around the walls are a number of framed prints, multiple screens and a mural of Len Harvey. At the front of the pub are tables and chairs overlooking the comings and goings around Upper Street. The beer line up was pretty good and offered four cask ales, a selection of craft options plus familiar favourites. I kept it simple and ordered an Amstel, my pint was on point and cost less than average. There is a comfort food pub grub menu available, Fish & Chips is reasonably priced at £12.99. We arrived around 4pm on a sunny Sunday afternoon on the August bank holiday. The pub was busy with locals and had a nice relaxed atmosphere. There was a good mix of punters from all ages, the footy had a number of punters engaged, a few were dining and the tables were full outside. The service was great, the staff were welcoming and courteous. This pub shows Live Premier League, Live Boxing and host DJ’s at the weekends. The @steampassagetavern was enjoyable no nonsense traditional pub experience. The beer and food are sensibly priced, the welcome was warm and the environment was comfortable. This is an excellent choice for the traditional pub goer. ℹ Info correct on visiting 27.08.23”
