very cheap beer, but a quite run down pub. staff are friendly and good Guinness on tap. massive screens for the football too
|
many a session i had in here would rather it over the pins any day in here u can have the crack with the staff unlike the twelve pins
|
This is the worst pub I've ever been to in my life. It is full of old depressed looking alcoholics. The bands are hopeless and I'm amazed they get people to pay to go in there.

mighty fine pub
|
cheap! of course it's cheap - that's the only way they can get people in there. If you are used to having someone lock your bedroom door at night and going to the toilet in a bucket then you might like this pub. No need to build a time machine - if you don't know what pubs were like in the 70s, pop in, although if you are a girl the clientele will think you are a prostitute, even if you wear trousers and Doc Martens. This place gets a big fat zero

One of the best pubs in north London. It has got great character! What a pub should be like.It mustn't change!!
|
In there a couple of weeks ago, killing time before meeting someone, found it nowhere near as bad as sme have painted it. No real ale, true, but a decent, and cheap, pint of Guinness make this as good a place as any for a couple.

Ignore the person below - the Blackstock has had a minor refusbishment recently but of the best kind, i.e. you can hardly tell. It's still a really good pub, it hasn't been spoiled. The well-worn red vinyl upholstry has been replaced with green upholstry. They haven't quite finished yet though - let's hope it doesn't go too far.

Pub seems to have had a bit of a lick of paint recently. Nice decor, and bar staff that are pleasing on the eye. The broadsheet papers, and leather sofas excellent! Full wine list and canope menu, olives on the bar, nice touch. The place to be seen in Islington!

Not the trendiest pub on the planet, but who cares? I was told to avoid this pub by locals, I ignored them and got stuck in with the cheap(ish) prices and have no complaints about the quality of the beer. The regulars tend to sit in the place all day (and night) wasting their giro's. Some of the old geezers have a story to tell and on the whole seem friendly enough. Just don't expect a bowl of olives with your pint! A relaxing down to earth boozer.

A great old-school boozer, far better than many of the bland refurbished dumps. Yes, it isn't glamorous but if you go in with the right attitude you'll find an interesting place to spend an afternoon.

This place does have the ingredients of a decent pub: beer, seats, lights and an ensuite facility (still accessed by a behind-the-bar buzzer). Having said that; vomit can have all the ingredients of a good meal. An interesting mix of people - not that they were mixing - all marshalled by a charmless, lunatic-looking bar duo. The kind of place it's nice to go for a quiet pint with 12 mates.

Dingy hell-hole of a pub. If Rab C Nesbit lived in Finsbury Park he would drink here. Carpet sticks to your feet and so does the pavement outside afterwards. Wallpaper hasn't been changed for 20 years. Toilet door is activated by a buzzer behind the bar to prevent the crack heads outside from making use of it.

This is one nasty pub. Smells of cleaning fluid. Fortunately there are 2 doors so when you walk in you can continue straight ahead and walk out the otherside.
Clientele bring their dogs with them...
