| Been in here before and had a nice pint, but this afternoon was awful. Bar staff were missing, and when she did appear she went straight to the phone and made a phone call, when I did get served it was with a warm pint of disgusting Stella. I walked out leaving nearly half a pint and went to the Old Dairy instead. zagreb - 15 Jun 2009 16:42 |
| One of my favourite Pubs in the area. It offers up one of the better pints of Guinness in London and has a decent selection of other drinks. It is actually a decent Irish pub with music sessions on weekend and major GAA games on the big screen, but it doesn’t go over the top with the Blarney. The hanging baskets and flowers on the exterior where what first drew me in, and the interior of the pub certainly lived up to the outside. The front bar is full of sports memorabilia and assorted junk, it doesn’t feel too contrived though. The back room is a large slightly featureless place but it is good for big sports events as plenty of people can fit in. The food from the Thai hatch is also pretty decent and well priced. The outside beer garden is a pleasant surprise and a nice place to venture even if you are not a smoker. It took quite some time for me to stumble upon this place, and I was starting to think there wasn’t a decent pub anywhere near Finsbury Park station. Although the competition is not too strong this is certainly a place worth a strong recommendation. meltwaterfalls - 5 May 2009 19:52 |
| definitely the best local in London! really relaxed fun atmosphere. everyone is there to have a good time. never any ugliness or angry people.. bar staff are friendly and efficient. bar has a good range of beers and they really look after their Guinness and know how to pour it :) large back bar with lots of tables and a pool table, good for watching sport. outside area is great with a lot of tables, flowers etc.. and there is a covered area for smokers. check out this site for a 360 degree view http://www.sphericalimages.com/falteringfullback/ as I say, best pub in London!

| Grossly over rated with pretentious owner and staff chester - 17 Nov 2008 22:49 |
| Looking at the high ratings and effusive reviews, I suspect this actually fairly average pub may benefit by being in an area where decent pubs seem to be fairly thin on the ground. It has a characterful interior, with a triangular front part of the pub with walls covered with nick-nacks, mementos etc. The back of the pub consists of a large and fairly unadorned room in the style of e.g. a Walkabout which I could imagine gets fairly rowdy when big sports events are on telly. Drinks-wise, it looked pretty poor: three pumps but only one serving ale, and London Pride at that: for once I drank lager. Thai food which did smell good. But ultimately I'd find it difficult to rate this at any more than 6/10. grecian - 21 Oct 2008 10:26 |
