Clerkenwell Social - Islington

Such a great place for cocktails with friends especially this time of year! Staff were so accommodating and drinks were delicious

Sadly my visit was very disappointing! Waited over 50 minutes for a margarita pizza. Was asked to pay before my food or drink arrived but wasn’t given a bill just shown a card reader then was given a receipt after. Unknowingly paid a service charge which is ridiculous for one person! Especially when the service was so bad!

The staff at this place were super angry and jaded, their drinks are over priced and their soda is flat

Booked for a private party in the upstairs room and they made everything so easy for us; it's comfortable, the PA was all ready- you can play your own music, nb but you'll need a headphone jack in your device- they had a place to hang coats and in general it's just a really really good space; we were about 60 people and it wasn't so loud you couldn't hear, and you have a dedicated barman. Will definitely book again.

We booked this venue weeks in advance with a paid deposit to run a social event for my not for profit organisation. It was clear the event would be a social event we had booked a DJ which the venue was aware of and it was an evening event. One of our members arrived early and was greeted rudely, then when she went to use the bathroom they closed the shutters of the venue. By the time we arrived, they had our new guests in the space that we had hired, and told us that we had booked a conference. Why would we want to run a conference on a Saturday night in a bar with a DJ? We were accused of telling all sorts of lies and it was clear that the staff were not going to allow us to have an enjoyable evening, so we ended up leaving and having to change the venue after the event was meant to start. This made us look extremely unprofessional. The venue looks great but I wouldn’t recommend anyone use it. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life!
