please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
If you are an Arsenal fan, this is a pub you should visit at least once - it is full of Arsenal memorabilia, old programmes, signed shirts, photos etc. It was also, of course, featured in the the film 'Fever Pitch'. A possibility therefore for your pre or post match pint - or for watching away games on Sky (where the atmosphere is second only to being at the game).
However, if you aren't a Gooner, this pub will have no attractions whatsoever for you. Further more, even if you are a die hard Arsenal fan, I would advise only going on match days: at other times it would be just another grotty boozer with nothing really to recommend it whatsoever. Much better trying the 'Bank of Friendship' a few doors up the road.

Not one I'd choose, maybe ok for watching the post match highlights but that's it. The Bank of Friendship is a far, far better bet.

Use to be a top pub, suppose it still is but now we have moved there are better pubs. Try the Rocket its for all Arsenal fans and does beer promotions on match days or the Herbert Chapman they are both close to Holloway road tube station. Gunners still could be good for away games on sky or PPV. I will update soon

Souless pub only used on game days. Avoid unless going to/from a match.

This pub is an unofficial Ipswich Town pub too on the sly..

Dosn't this place close early coz the Landlord is some sort of misreable Ipswich fan ? Thats what I read in an Arsenal fanzine anyway.
Wouldn't touch the pub with a barge pole on match days , there are plenty of decent pubs around Highbury so why everyone packs into this one is beyond me.
|
great pub for a pint after the game, however massively overpriced, totally packed out for about an hour after any game but then starts to empty a little making it a nice place for a drink, although early closing seems a tad strange.

Why Does The Gunners Close so Early 5:30 what a joke

The best pub ever!!!
Discovered it 7 years ago while living in London, Finsbury Park, used to spend my evenings there playing pool and having a few pints with my friends.....
p.s. Had an extreme crush on an Irish lad who worked there as a bar tender, Martin Hennessy :)
Would love to get in touch with him again....please e-mail me if you know anything about him :)

Used to love it, been drinking there since i was 15, then realised what beer was ment to taste like. a little tip for when visiting the gunners is to buy a bottle of beer rather than the expensive watered down pints. Rob tends to wipe the smile off you're face too with his boring moody,ways. big love going out to all the bar staff especially the beautifal jo!

Strictly for Arsenal supporters. Not much for the typical pub crawler.

Gunners does have live music now and sometimes very good too - Calvin Jones was excellent. Beer is regulation but as I drink Stella that's okay. Good crowd.

Terrible beer though!

The pub for Arsenal Supporters. A popular and friendly pub. Good for a singsong. Soon to have live music, apparently.
