user reviews of the Old Kings Head, Holloway

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

As with what mr.toes.5_ said, went past last Saturday and the pub has been repainted on the outside like it used to be, though still not open. Also, the people standing outside were the people who used to run it, so it appears that a good pub is coming back!!! Weird that it changed so suddenly, anyone know why and why is it changing back?

This pub is closed for a refit, am told it will reopen as a goth/metal pub run by the same guy who had it a year or so ago, this is definetly good news .

I thought this was really pretty awful to be honest. A very spartan interior with the front half of the pub dominated by a stage not being used on my visit. No sign of any real ale, and the rather insolent and fed-up looking barmaid managed to make a total hash of pouring me a diet coke (!). The locals seemed like the usual bunch of heavy drinkers and oddballs all too common in pubs in this part of London.

Completley ruined this pub,not into the goth,metal scene but this pub was a welcome change to the usual Holloway dumps.Friendly and welcoming with good beer,now turned into another Arsenal Supporters pub.It's probably empty on non match days as most real match going supporters don't live anywhere close to the ground.Full of meatheaded benefit claiming types!

Job well done on ruining a decent boozer.

Oh noooooo! What's happened here? It's gone from being a well-run, gothy pub with some personality and friendly staff to a hideous Arsenal-adoring hole. The G'n'R pinball machine is gone, the subdued lighting replaced by interrogation-strength bulbs. This is nothing short of criminal. Holloway already has enough dives. I'd love to know what's brought about this sad change. I award it 1 out of 10 because the quiz machine is still there.
