Not a good pub in my view, similar clientel to the Wishing well further down in crouch end, enough said. I've had a couple of duff pints here and a friend was looked at askance when he ordered wine, which was corked, although the bar staff argued the toss. The interior has been ripped about and has no character, and the only redeeming feature seems to be the live jazz. I disagree with the last comment which implies similar clientel with the Harinngay Arms. The HA is a fantastic atmospheric and genuine boozer. This place is a sh*te hole, although blessedly free of the Kings Head crowd.

It's precisely the absence of the local 'Nathan Barleys' (such as the previous poster) that makes this place. Glad you hate it. Tossers are also unwelcome at the Harringay Arms.

What a good 'onest boozer this is. Watched Spain stuff the Germans here this week. None of the local Joshua's & Jocasta's were in. The Deuchars IPA and Timothy Taylors Landlord were in fine shape, good unpretentious food and friendly staff. Spot on!

Trendy looking place - much different to when I last drank in here a few years ago. Nice laid back atmosphere, staff very pleasant and efficient. Tried the Deuchars IPA and Timothy Taylors Landlord, both were very good. Menu looked interesting I will try it next time I'm in. All in all a very nice place.

Not sure what a Soho knocking shop looks like so will have to take Harry's word for it. Have drunk in The Railway for a year or so and I would not call it a gastropub though the food is very good, the staff are always nice and friendly and it is a great place to relax and have a pint. dont think Harry would know a good pub if it kicked him up the bum!
