There are some pubs that are rotten, but in a good way. This isn't one of them. In fact it's quite a depressing experience coming here. The one good thing about the place is that it's cheap - but believe me you get what you pay for! Gotta agree with Strongers comments below about the unwelcoming feel and the disinterested barstaff. The staff seem quite friendly with their (downbeat) regulars, but are full of 'attitude' when they - eventually - serve me. The smell in there is horrible (smoking was definitely a good thing for this place!) and you feel like you need to wash your clothes if you sit down, the seats are so grubby. Naturally it shows all the sports - it's an Arsenal pub, and when they're on it can get even more nasty than usual. I'm writing this as a way of reminding myself just how grim the joint is and why I don't want to step foot in there ever again. 1/10 (for the cheap beer)

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I was living in Tufnell Park for 6months from January -May 92'. I didnt know a soul in london, went there for an internship through college. I went there my first nite to grab a beer, and I pretty much never left! lol I went there every day, it was like my second home. Everyone was soooo nice and friendly, the customers, the bartenders, even the manager! I would never have survived without the Arms! I met so many people there and am still in contact with some of them! It was the best times! I went back again the following year and it was like I never left! And the club next door was awesome too! I want to go back to the Arms someday! You can bet if I'm ever back in London again I will! I LOVE U BOSTON ARMS!
