| The Torriano is a great little local pub with a fun, laid-back atmosphere. The friendly, dedicated management team have just refurbished the downstairs room and opened it as the 'Live Lounge' which is available to hire for FREE. I've been there the last two weekends and highly recommend it for parties. Book early, it's becoming highly sought after as a venue for birthdays, gigs, etc. Check out the 'We love Torriano' Facebook group for live music and DJ nights the mnagement are hosting. There's also a garden at the back with a barbeque in the summer and the quiz on a Monday evening is popular and only £2 to enter. ClaireBurtwistle - 29 Feb 2008 22:04 |

| Cosy, eclectic, and not trying to be anything but itself, The Torriano is an excellent place, off the beaten track, that caters to locals and casual passersby alike. A good range of cocktails, half-decent wine and the occasional toasted sandwich go a long way to making this one of my favourite places. Sunday evenings can be fun as there is often a nearby poetry event so sit and watch, listen to and laugh at the conversations of the participants who come in after it is finished. It also has an excellent beer garden. And is under threat from delvelopers who want to turn it into flats. Could someone perhaps point them towards the excellent residentential potential of the nearby Lord Stanley? Dannysigma - 15 Jan 2008 10:53 |
| When I first came here, it was a rather gloomy and tatty place full of mothers, dogs and unsupervised kids chasing ballons. The beers were all off and I left after 1 expensive pint. Before I had a chance to place a comment someone had mentioned that it had been done up so I held back to give it a second chance. Whilst the interior is now a bit brighter with the black walls now painted in paler colours, it still looks shabby and little has changed from my initial impressions. Situated well off the beaten track the Torriano (or just the T according to the designer pub sign) comes over as an old local’s boozer that tried to jump on the good ship Trendy but forgot to put some sails on the mast. It all looks a bit of a mess and a clash of styles and eras with furnishings that look like they have come from second hand shops and car boot sales. A selection of worn sofas and battered tables is complemented by lights and vases that your granny used to take down the charity shop. The fireplace looks rather forlorn and the bar seems to be a DIY half-a-job. To some it may have a certain charm but to me it all looks as uncomfortable and univiting as the bare concrete floor. Both Ales (Pride and Marstens Pedigree) were off (again) and which really sealed its fate in my “Don’t Bother Again” book. RogerB - 23 Nov 2007 12:25 |
| According to CAMRA this nice little pub is under grave threat from closure, for conversion into flats. There are clearly not enough flats in Kentish Town. Get there while you still can. tuppence - 25 Jul 2007 13:38 |
