Homeboy Bar - Islington: Experience the Heart of Irish Hospitality in London

The modern take on Irish Hospitality. Sums this place up perfectly. Creamy pints of Guinness, deliciously creative cocktails (Iced Irish Iced Coffee and Shamrock Shake are both a must try), a dark brown wooden furnished ambience surrounded by pictures and paintings that remind you of back home in Ireland. It's the utopia of Irish bars. And not to mention the service, top class, second to none. Charlie and Will especially, two amazing barmen. Could not recommend this bar enough, Will be raving about it for years to come and will always go out of my way to make sure I stop by and have 2 or 7 pints of the good stuff.

One of the best cocktails I’ve had recently. Great atmosphere, they often have live music on. Delish Irish pub food & snacks, highly recommend the fried chicken in baguette.

We did the masterclass with Will and had the best time. The drinks were excellent but what made the difference was Will’s knowledge and charisma. He tailored our experience to our preferences and has fantastic stories behind each drink. It was also brilliant value. The masterclass was around the same price, if not better, than buying the drinks individually. Highly highly recommend.

Terrific bar, serving really good quality cocktails and importantly top notch pints of plain. There's a huge selection of Irish whiskeys along with a large selection of other spirits. Every time I've been there you're welcomed by a friendly barman, who are always happy to help out on drink selections. It gets very busy as it's quite small but I've sat at the bar a few times and as the bar staff are quite chatty and funny that's made for a fun visit.

Wow! This place is such a gem. Right from the moment you enter the bar, you are greeted and looked after - we actually asked about this because it’s kind of unusual for a London bar, and they explained it’s part of their ‘modern Irish hospitality’ ethos. Well...we loved it. Lizzie, behind the bar, couldn’t be nicer. She showed us their very impressive collection of Irish whiskeys (biggest selection in all of London apparently) and let us try their frozen Irish whiskey, which was insanely delicious. We will definitely be coming back here

Staff were excellent, knowledgeable about the cocktails, and very attentive and friendly. As a disabled member of society, it’s easy to feel looked over but the staff made me feel very welcome and answered all of my questions. Cocktails were some of the best I’ve tasted, and I only popped in for a Guinness.

Went here early sat evening for some cool irish cocktails and some tasty food. Friendly and attentive staff. Cool vibe would go back

It was a nice place, the food good that bread for the chicken on the platter they need to use another it does not compliment the tenders, the drink was nice.. the ambiance was everything and the staff were delightful I only minus a star from the food so that they can change the bread .. good place to chill alone, with friends or a date.
