Hope and Anchor, Hornseyback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
This is what a pub should be like. Good Guinness, very friendly and welcoming landlord and landlady. Very good home-cooked food. Plenty of things going on, Quiz Night, Chess Night, Pool Night, Founder Member of local pool competition. Themed nights, it has the lot.
Very friendly regulars (on the whole!). Mike_D is right when he says that it's here and the Harringay Arms. That's it for N8. Avoid the pubs local to this, it gets very 'hicks-ville' in all the others.
A Liverpool pub, but they are welcome of EVERYONE here, Plenty of friendly banter. Been coming for years and there's never a ' dodgy atmosphere'.
For football, nowhere better, as long as you get there early enough. If not you'll be in the standing room only area, but the atmosphere is electric on big games.
My favourite pub.

perfect ! needs a clean and cold bottles but a lovely pub!

Did you know this pub has a lovely beer garden hidden out back? I only discovered this recently and it was a lovely surprise. Its a friendly place but I stay away on football days as it gets a bit crowded - good atmosphere for footy fans though! Toilets need a bit of a scrub up but on the whole its a good pub.

This is my local, and sadly I don't get to visit it enough.
It does an average ale, but bitter drinkers are advised to avoid the Abbotts. Something about it in here isn't right. They did have Ruddles on a while back though, which was decent enough (Smoothflow though it was).
I always enjoy my time there, all the same: it has a great, relaxed atmosphere, and even if I'm away for a few months I never feel unwelcome when I step back in. Although it is a locals-only kind of affair, newcomers needn't fear a frosty reception a la so many other similar establishments. So far as pubs in and around Crouch End go, I reckon this is up there with the Haringey Arms.

GREAT pub for the footy! All fans are welcome - Gooners, Reds, Blue-noses, even Man City supporters!
During most games the bar staff serve sausages, chicken drumsticks, potatoes, etc at half time or in between games.
Only criticism would be that it gets really smoke filled. This doesn't put me off going, but looking forward to when it's smoke free next June.

Thanks Pete and Theresa for hosting two great evenings in a row and making an ex-pat feel welcome.
One word of warning, shave your moustache off or expect a bit of abuse from the locals! All in fun, mind.
