Nestled in the heart of Angel, a few steps away from the bustling Chapel market, the Three Johns is one of those pubs that blends historic charm with a modern twist. A perfect spot for midweek drinks, this characterful pub is all about beers and pizza.
Operated by the Barworks company since 2014, when it re-opened as a craft beer pub, it is a proper treasure for beer lovers thanks to its rotating selection of craft brews from top-tier local and international breweries. Cask plus craft kegs and a huge selection of bottled beers, it offers an excellent range of lagers, IPAs and ales that cater to every palate. If you feel peckish, their pizzas are another major draw. Freshly made in-house and generously topped, their Neapolitan sourdoughs make the perfect pairing for your drinks on a relaxed evening with friends.
Despite its central location, the Three Johns rarely feels overcrowded. Its spacious and atmospheric main room strikes a balance between industrial and rustic, featuring high ceilings and exposed brick walls decorated with quirky portraits combined with dark wood floors and antique-like seating. While waiting at the bar for your drinks, crane your neck to admire the very impressive ornate copper-tiled ceiling. Apart from the stunningly decorated interior, it offers lots of outdoor space to soak up the afternoon sun. Whether you're catching up over after-work drinks, grabbing a pre-gig pint before heading to nearby venues or settling in for a laid-back evening, this pub delivers on all fronts.
