The Steam Passage: Pub in Islington, London

The Steam Passage is tucked away in N1, the kind of room where regulars actually show up for what's happening rather than the view. You'll find quizzes most weeks, trading card nights, the sort of programming that draws people who want to think and play, not just sit near each other. It's unpretentious, low-key, no fuss. The crowd's there for the game or the question, which is usually a good sign. It's one of those spots that reminds you Angel still has pockets where the point isn't being seen, it's having an actual evening with people who wanted to be there.
