The Mitre - Scream (Upper Street - Islington)

The Mitre - a Scream Bar

If someone whould have ever told me that there was a cheap bar or pub on Upper Street I would have laughed them into the ground but indeed I would have been wrong. The Mitre, as much of a pub as it sounds is in fact a bar aimed at students. Accompanied by a student "Scream card" pints in here are £2.30 and cocktails about £3, and thats a 10pm on a Friday night! The decor is red lights and red wallpaper but the venue itself is very small though it houses a couple of old televisions sporting MTV and a pool table. Out the back is a long summery beer garden. It was too amazing to believe how it wasnt more popular but its definitely worth becoming a "Scream" member before you head into one of these. In fact i think its the first one of its kind I've ever been in or heard of.

Overall a very impressive 8/10. F*ck the decor, the prices in the place completely outweigh its lack of size.

There are some fantastic Sream pubs in Birmingham. Especially down by the University by the canal.

When I went there the used to give out Rubik's Cubes.

Ever tried doing one of them when you are absolutely scunnert?
