BE NICE or GET OUT!
For my birthday (and to cheer me up, as I've not had the best of luck over the last week or so), my friend took me to Big Red, a pub on the Holloway Road that caters for the alternative scene kids like me. He's a biker, so you get that crowd in here too, and your old-skool rockers and goths. Basically the type of pub where you're not going to get some chav or city boy types, which is just as well really, as I'm running out of places to go where I can have a decent drink without some mug ruining the night for me.
The music's good if you're into your hard rock and alternative scene. Atmosphere's great as well – the place has got some real character with loads of random stuff all pinned up to the walls, ceilings, you name it. You can pop in for a quiet drink in the mid-afternoon before it gets really busy. Bar staff are nice and the food is great (you get a lot of it, that's for sure). Condiments are brought to you in a little Corona Beer carrier, which was cute, and when it gets darker, they bring out the candles in the Jack Daniel's bottles.
After this, we headed up to the Islington Academy to see Symphony X.
