Metro Bar and Canteen, Holloway

Moved into the area a few months back. I have checked out my local, The Metro, a few times. The bar attracts a varied crowd. On match days it's full of Arsenal fans, usually monitored by a load of Police outside. But the bar doesn�t seem to attract any football idiots�

Friday lunchtimes are full of council workers form the nearby depot. I had to laugh when I saw the street cleaning lorries, dust carts and equipment parked outside, whilst the thirsty lads nipped inside for a quick pint!

Good bar, wide range of beers. The new outside tables are very welcome. And with all the new apartments popping up in Hornsey Street, this bar should get a load of new customers.
