The Green, Willesden Green

Given that this might indeed be the only decent boozer in Willesden, us willesden-ites are at its mercy to some extent... where else to go? And believe me, I'd like an alternative - the Green does take the mickey with their prices, as the review below points out. The food, however, is usually above average - go for the wedges at �2.50 (i think) - a good filler with a few lagers, if you're strapped for cash. A meal in the restaurant is going to be more like �10-15 - gastropub prices I guess. Have eaten there many times and have had only one (very) disappointing meal - forgivable, I think.

Powers Bar, Kilburn

Used to frequent the brondes age next door - but due to some seriously loud football, we drank up moved over to this place. Limited seating (although I didnt venture into the back - may have been more there) - but a friendly place indeed, cheap enough booze, interesting (and, erm, enthusiastic) fellow drinkers, not-too-invasive live music and... no football! Will go there again. Without steve L this time (he poured beer down my back??? What the...)

The Boogaloo, Highgate

Bit small but I guess that adds to the very cosy atmoshpere. Jukebox had some great old tunes, the live act was a little loud... considering the size of the room. Fortunately something seemingly went wrong with their gear and they packed up and left. Will definitely give it another go - nice and close to the tube too.
