"We'd definitely return again to Islington GU, infact we are going to go to the Camden GU for a friends birthday in September as we had such a good night. The cocktail pitchers are excellent value for money and really good. Very friendly staff and other customers, fun, not too noisy or crowded."

"Just wanted to say thanks so much for enabling me to have a wonderful birthday party at Grand Union Islington! I had a fabulous time and would definitely recommend the bar to my friends and family!"

"Islington Grand Union is by far the best bar on Upper Street. Bouncers were professional, cocktails were excellent and the staff were top notch. Cheers for providing a great birthday venue for us."

"Islington GU was excellent, the atmosphere warming, the chunky chips brilliant. I had an excellent time whilst celebrating my birthday. The wait was not too long for drinks. I’ve been to Camden before."

"Oh hello, just accidentally popped into the Islington GU. Hypnotised by those fancy lights running down the catwalk. Loved it. Perfect venue for me and my partner. We absolutely could not have wondered into a better place. Loved the design, the staff and even the fantastic looking toilets which let some places down. My partner just happens to know a thing or two about cocktails and she said the cocktails we were drinking were some of the finest that she'd put to her lips. So, if you don't mind, we'd like the GU Managing Director and his team of budding bar and grill builders to visit Aylesbury and put a GU bar at the basin of the Grand Union canal in the new Waterside development where my partner and I are more than happy to run it hohohoh. So, yes. GU at the GU in Aylesbury"
