TS77 is too harsh about this. Yes, this is very much a local's pub, and I would expect it predominantly serves the council estate located behind it.
But I thought it was a reasonable place: friendly and polite service; some real ale (I think - I didn't look very carefully); and a very non-threatening atmosphere unlike some pubs of this kind. I felt effort had gone in to making this reasonably welcoming to allcomers.

The juxtapostion of a pub of this foul nature with such a worthy symbol of London history and tradition as the nearby Whittington Stone takes the breath away. The only thing "right" about this place is its location in such a soul destroying quagmire as Archway.

This is a great pub with loads of atmosphere. It is a real Arsenal pub, with a great history of coaches leaving from 'The Stone' to Arsenal away matches.
The regulars are a friendly, welcoming bunch - but be wary not to upset them!!!!!

I was visiting someone at the nearby hospital, so popped into this shytehole. The beer is crap and the beer garden is 5 foot from the main road leading to Archway station.
You can hear the local care in the community psychopaths who have ditched their medication screaming obscenities at and threatening passers by.
Rubbish!

This is not Highgate, it's Archway. And this is an establishment frequented exclusively by those of the very lowest intellectual calibre.
