Last night I went to The Regent for it's launch party. This was for local residents who were there in droves thanks to the free booze and pizza on offer! The place was packed and there was a lively but relaxed atmosphere - helped by the fantastic tunes blasting out of the free juke box.
Even if the food and drink hadn't been free this is somewhere worth visiting as its a great alternative to the usual Barnsbury gastropub scene. It is still very new and smells of paint but you can see that the place has the potential, as a place to go for a drink or to have one of the huge pizzas freshly prepared to order. At the time of writing they were offering 2 for 1 on pizzas, which is superb value considering they are very reasonably priced anyway (£6 - £10). A friend once told me that anywhere that has Peroni on tap is the place to go! I would before this place becomes too popular to enjoy!
