A real Jekyll and Hyde of a pub,well on a Saturday anyway.I like to spend a whole afternoon,with my head in the guardian while drinking one of the best kept Guinness in North London.Even though there"s usually a tv on for the horse racing, the pubs big enough to find a wee nook and not be distracted too much if thats what you want.A pub with a community feel to it with a regular clientele who are welcoming bunch,a real nice vibe all round.Then round about 6 o clock on Saturday gig nights it seems to be handed over to the kids,and we oldish codgers make way.

I came here a few years ago for a gig and remember having a good time and enjoying a decent pint of beer (Shepherds Neame?). A recent visit was miserable. The old brass behind the bar got both orders we made wrong and argued that she was right. The till was set up to input a final total only, so the prices were always different as she added the rounds up in her head. The pint of Camden Bitter I tried was poured from two pumps from around the far left of the bar; not sure why and i'm not sure if I got a mixture of Camden and London Pride. The bitter was pretty poor, but the following pint of Pride was rank and I actually spat out the first sip. It was cold and dank inside with a group of old Guiness sipping locals huddled around the TV at the right of the bar watching 'Deal Or No Deal'. Arse!

Popped in for a quick pint before going to a gig at the forum on a busy Saturday night.

Only had a lager so can't comment on the quality of the beer but from what I could see it looked good quality. Really impressed that despite being busy the service was very good and quick.

Pub itself is nice and had some great banter with locals.

What really impressed me was the response of the bar staff when I managed to drop a full bottle of orange juice I was passing to my my wife all over a bar stool. No moaning or rolling of eyes, there was a fresh bottle on the bar before I could pick up the original and they refused to accept any extra payment. A little touch but very good customer service you don't get in m=other pubs.

The Basss was awful, but check out the interior of this pub. Friendly landlord.
