The Flask, Highgate

I'm inclined to agree with patricknight on the subject of customer perceptions. It's very easy to grumble, but running a pub is like running a combined restaurant, theatre, primary school and old-people's home rolled into one. This said, my experiences of the Flask have been generally quite agreeable. I loved the barbecue in the yard, is that still there in the Summer?

The Boat Inn, Penallt

For location alone this pub has to be a 10. I heard it being discussed in the Builders, New Barnet just the other day. Haven't been there since it changed hands, but the crossing from Redbrook to Penallt is worth it alone.

The Square, Barnet

Was rather splendid as the George - shabby and with the same decor as it had in 1950, but that was part of the charm. Now The Square Bar, last time I was in there a bloke started hitting his pregnant girlfriend. Haven't been back.
