Step into the Drapers Arms, where a remarkable juxtaposition of shabby chic décor and minimalist design provides the backdrop for an unexpectedly vibrant dining experience. The bright green bar stands out in an otherwise pale blue interior, adding a quirky charm that defines this gastropub's unique character. At the heart of its culinary offerings, the sirloin Sunday roast is much celebrated, accompanied by sumptuous Yorkshire puddings and an array of innovative sides. The menu, featuring options both seasonal and classic, ushers patrons into a world of hearty British fare and exciting wines from an expertly curated list. Despite the occasional hiccup in service and operational challenges at peak times, the staff’s efforts contribute to a hospitable atmosphere. Those seeking an intimate setting may wish to explore the rustic upstairs dining room, perfect for private gatherings and special occasions. Here, every meal becomes a delightful story, framed by the casual elegance of its Islington surroundings.
