One Eighty One is a neighbourhood bar and record shop on Holloway Road in Islington — serving coffee, craft beer, vinyl records, and good vibes just minutes from Highbury & Islington station.
Rod ‘Spin Doctor’ Gilmore has over 30 years working in the music industry running The Doctor’s Orders and putting on parties and club nights with the biggest names in Hip-Hop, Disco, House and beyond in every venue imaginable from sweaty Shoreditch Warehouses to The Royal Albert hall. Combined with a decade of working for venues including The Jazz Cafe and Truman Brewery see him well placed to finally open a place of his own.
Islington has a rich musical heritage and I am excited to now be the next part of that in the area I’ve called home my entire life. With quality on all fronts, whether that is drink, records, food or DJs this will be an unpretentious friendly hangout spot for all of London.
