Set on bustling Essex Road, the Wenlock & Essex – a newly-opened Islington bar with live music – offers a good range of affordable pub-style food in its restaurant, run by Michelin-trained head chef Will Pugh.As with many bars near the O2 Academy Islington, the Wenlock & Essex is likely to prove popular with the young and trendy crowd heading off to a gig. But the live music on offer here may just tempt you to stay a little longer after your meal and take to the dance floor of the Devil’s Doorway club. Brunch and Sunday lunch are also on offer.There are good public transport options nearby, so why not try a cocktail or two from the menu? Alternatively, there is a good selection of beer (including some from the locally brewed Camden Town Brewery), ale, bitter and cider to accompany your meal.
