The pub is amazing the people are friendly the service is great the johns smiths is in a different league if you drink to much of that try the Guinness its lovely. My name is Daclon Scott I am one of the regulars in this little gem you will notice me, I am the small ginger guy who annoys everyone. I love a pint at 8.00 am with the hairy boy and Noel my best friends. Its so nice at this time, a paper, a pint of John Smiths and the hairy boy and Noel boy beside me. The Alexandra is the most enjoyable pub I have ever drunk in but like a choosen few it is difficult for me to get access to other pubs in the area for various reasons. The new beer garden to the rear is great, with nice lights state of the art TV sound etc. I enjoy this pubs because it has more men than anywere else I have been so I feel at home looking at men and annoying everyone that I see. I strongly advise the next time your are in East Finchley call in a lovely experience and pub.

Even though the service was very friendly (rude service is one of my pet hates) I wasn’t that impressed with this place when I visited last week. The beer selection was very limited; Stella, Carling, Fosters, John Smiths and obviously Guinness.

I found it to be more like a living room than a pub and the TV that wasn’t showing the muted horse racing on sky had the film ‘I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry’ playing on it with the volume turned up. I do like Adam Sandler’s humour, but not in a boozer whilst I am trying to enjoy my pint.

There is a dart board by the entrance and a small patio garden to the side of the pub.

I think that this is one of my least favourite pubs in East Finchley and I’ll keep on walking next time I go past.

I went in here last Tuesday as I was on my way past going to the Windsor Castle. Ive never been in here before I was pleasantly surprised a very good nice Pub not to crowded and excellent Guinness good friendly crowed and Staff. I will most defiantly return here again. At least I now know at least two Pubs that I like in Finchley.

Not a bad pub, locals are friendly aside from an annoying little italian T-Shirt seller who tend to lower the tone of the place!

May be forced to reconsider this one. Always been great, but the last couple of times I've been in, my friends and I have fallen foul of the 'old guard'- the Chelsea pensioners propping up the bar.

They may have wandered across from the Clissold Arms, but they're angry and they don't like you trying to get to the bar. They also don't like football, anyone who doesn't drink bitter or anyone under 60.

I think that they might just appear on a Sunday (and are probably home in time for Last of the Summer Wine), so leave them to it and try popping in on a week day.
