It is a sad reflection on Finsbury Park that a pub with one handpull stands out here, but the Fullback's lone Pride pump, dispensing a decent pint, is definitely one of its big four selling points. The others are:
- the exterior greenery, which makes the pub look more like a living organism than a building. This is more than a couple of token hanging baskets and extends into the remarkable (for the number of people fitted into one space) rooftop beer garden.
- the layout, with a traditional front bar, a couple of quiet side-rooms and an enormous back bar with a directly proportional screen for football and hurling. This manages to make it feel like at least two different pubs.
- the atmosphere. Chav/trouble-free, despite the late licence.

Probably the best effort in Finsbury Park.

Absolute gem of a pub and well worthing seeking out. Beer garden worth venturing out into whether you smoke or not. Great boozer.

"Smug self-knowingness" , well you certainly proved yourself to be quite the authority on that subject , badgerballs.

Has a smug self-knowingness about it all. Gets really packed with beret endorsing north London trendies, all wearing scarves in the summer ffs. Beers like Stella and Staropramen add to the unoriginality of it all. Nobody ever has cash when paying for a “Sex in Prison” cocktail, they pull their plastic out every time, never thought I'd long for some Harry Ramp counting out a "day's begging" worth of foreign coins to pay for his triple Teacher's & Meths chaser. Always seem to end up in the main thoroughfare of those sprinting to the washrooms for a double flusher, resulting in most of my pint spilling down the enhanced boobs of some rake-thin, record producer’s other half…..

Nice bar but lacking a decent selection of beers and spirits (eg no duvel or Hendricks). Good fun and nice atmosphere allround though.
