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.

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.

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

Souless pub only used on game days. Avoid unless going to/from a match.
