| Very poor pub.I'm an arsenal fan but avoid this pub. The beer is flat and not very cold. And the place smells of damp. Rating 2 JOHNNYDORSEY - 5 Nov 2009 12:44 |
| Having a soft spot for Arsenal I was looking forward to having a look around this pub at the famous memorabilia and I wasn’t disappointed as there are all sorts on display. Unfortunately the pub itself has as much character as the bog standard lagers it churns out and there seems to be little interest from the local inhabitants. There are a couple of pool tables in the back room and numerous plasma screens dotted about the pub which proudly states on the board outside that “if it’s on we’ll show it”, there obviously wasn’t much interest in the Spanish match that was airing then. The barmaid was nice enough, but after exhausting the sights I decided to make haste. Good for football, but not a lot else. Strongers - 19 May 2009 10:16 |
| If you are an Arsenal fan, this is a pub you should visit at least once - it is full of Arsenal memorabilia, old programmes, signed shirts, photos etc. It was also, of course, featured in the the film 'Fever Pitch'. A possibility therefore for your pre or post match pint - or for watching away games on Sky (where the atmosphere is second only to being at the game). However, if you aren't a Gooner, this pub will have no attractions whatsoever for you. Further more, even if you are a die hard Arsenal fan, I would advise only going on match days: at other times it would be just another grotty boozer with nothing really to recommend it whatsoever. Much better trying the 'Bank of Friendship' a few doors up the road. Crow_Valley - 17 Dec 2006 12:56 |
| Not one I'd choose, maybe ok for watching the post match highlights but that's it. The Bank of Friendship is a far, far better bet. OldRogue - 30 Oct 2006 14:00 |
| Use to be a top pub, suppose it still is but now we have moved there are better pubs. Try the Rocket its for all Arsenal fans and does beer promotions on match days or the Herbert Chapman they are both close to Holloway road tube station. Gunners still could be good for away games on sky or PPV. I will update soon Gooner. - 25 Aug 2006 04:19 |
