About This Pub

Ah, The Angels Share – what a gem of a spot in Hitchin! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this fantastic mix of cracking live music that really gets the night going, especially with local talents taking the stage. The whisky selection is something else; it's clear the folks behind it know their stuff, offering up some superb choices that would make any whisky lover's evening. The service stands out too – the host is all about making you feel at home, which adds to that genuine, family-like feel. It's a great place for winding down with friends over drinks and a chat, and the crowd seems lovely and approachable. On the flip side, though, the late starts might put off those who prefer an earlier tipple, and it does appear a bit subdued recently with no new reviews to speak of, so it could be quieter than you'd hope. Still, if you're in the area and fancy a proper pub experience with a musical twist, I'd say give it a go – you might just find your new favourite haunt!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The whisky selection is absolutely top-notch, with some real hidden gems that any enthusiast would love – it's like a treasure trove for a good dram!
  • The live music scene is brilliant; they support local acts and create such a warm, buzzing atmosphere that makes every visit feel special.
  • The service is spot on – the host goes out of their way to make you feel welcome, like you're part of the gang from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got that cosy, down-to-earth vibe with a friendly crowd, perfect for a relaxed evening of chats and drinks after dinner.
Cons
  • The opening hours are a bit on the late side, starting around 8 PM, which might not work for everyone if you're looking for an earlier pint.
  • It seems a tad quiet lately with no fresh reviews in the past few months, so it could be hit or miss depending on when you pop by.
  • Being tucked away in an arcade, it might be easy to overlook or a bit tricky to find if you're not familiar with the area in Hitchin.

We visited friends in Hitchen who took us here for after dinner drinks. What a great little find in the arcade. Friendly local crowd, great service and fabulous live music from Lily.

Fantastic bar with a real down to earth family feel. The Harbreet makes sure you are looked after and welcomed. As a whisky drinker, I have to applaud the whisky collection he has, some really good finds to be had there. Please visit and enjoy, you won't be disappointed.

Fabulous selection of Whisk(e)y and a great host. One of the best places in Hitchin for a drink and a chat, also sometimes has live music, supporting local acts... what's not to like

Lovely way to round off an evening out. Great local live music venue with amazing selection of whiskies if you're a fan, if not plenty of other drinks to choose from!
