The White Lion, Barnet

looks nice from outside with the flowers and all that but inside was a let down. pricey, unwelcoming and disinterested bar staff. won't be back.

Ye Olde Monken Holt, Barnet

came here for a quick drink before dinner across the road. very nice pub. quite dark and cosy with good atmosphere. garden out the back. it got quite busy and a bit loud but it was nice to see regulars rolling in and being greeted by first names. quite rare these days. ales were first class and the wife had a reasonable glass of wine. food looked good so might come back to try that as chez gerard opposite was bloody awful

The Haven, Whetstone

'the place to be' for the rich folk that live locally and don't want to go into town to show off. manager/owner (?) was rude and sitting around looking grumpy. its a bar and restaurant so best to stick to wine. certainly not cheap and full of mutton dressed as lamb types. well they have to go somewhere i suppose.
