I was in here on Saturday night and the pub only had 12 other people in it which isn’t a lot, especially for a large pub like this. The volume of the jukebox was set at tinnitus level with songs like ‘In the Air Tonight’ (Genesis) bouncing off the walls and straight into my brain.

Various lagers are available alongside Courage Best and London Pride. There is a pool table and a dartboard, which is great to see. There is also a projector screen at the rear of the pub for showing Sky Sports and Setanta. The barmaid seemed very friendly and was having a laugh with some locals at the bar.

I think that I’ll try it in here again when there is a football match on as I could see this pubs potential, but I think I may have just picked a crap night to visit.

Great boozer, in the traditional sense. Nothing has been changed in The Hops since about 1924 but thats part of the charm

I've been a regular there for about 5 years and can't see that changing- unless the Stella gets to £5 a pint- which will probably be next year

Friendly regulars, great juke box (which the landlord lets me keep a couple of my own Eighties mixes on), big screen for the Rugby (or Football, if you're that way inclined). Also a great recruitment policy for bar staff which favours the more attractive ladies

The Malt and Hops is a great pub, has a pool table, a juke box, a dart borad, screens to watch the football, great locals and lovely bar staff who are friendly and would do anything for you.

Not many pubs like this around!!!!

Pool tables are now a rarity in Finchley and Malt and Hops has the best in the area. Juke Box is conveniently situated in close proximity as is the bar. Quality beer and a proper pub atmosphere..a change from the wine bar and 'chain' style pubs. Well worth a visit

I made the mistake of asking a lady a tthe bar what it was she was drinking, only because I had never seen that type of drink before. ( I had gone to Finchley to interview with a company - I am from Canada). Her husband must have thought I was trying to pick her up or something because he came at me with every expletive under the sun and got right in my face. I tried to explain and before I could, his wife told him to calm down and "can't you see he's Canadian?" came out of her mouth. He asked if I was and then proceeded to apologize and bought me 2 pints! I have been back to the Malts and Hops every trip back to England(I got the job). I guess I am becoming somewhat of a regular... the owner calls me Captain Canada!
