The Finsbury

There not enough negative words in the world to sum up this place. To be fair, I used to be a regular once upon a time, even then it wasn't great but was a place to bump into old local friends. Has been taken over and renovated a few times now and it gets worse and worse everytime. It has tried to sell itself as a venue for music and its painfully laughable. A lot of the real locals have moved on to better places because it is so unwelcoming. Now, the selection of alcohol, truly shite. The only ale they serve is London Pride, the condition of it is more suitable for pouring over a bag of chips. The prices are ridiculously over the top and keep changing depending on the bar staff of the day. Pride comes in at between £3.20-£4. Do yourself a favour and never go here unless the management starts managing of course. It pains me to write about this place like this but it has to be said. I hope for a better future as so many pubs are disappearing nowadays.

The Finsbury

Located near Manor House tube. Tetley on draught...nothing really to shout home about. Three pool tables @£1.20 a pop, a bit dear really for a ropey pub. Open until 12 everyday,so its perfect for that extra hour of drinking but not alot else. Has the atmosphere of a wet fart, was really quite nice once. Bar maids used to beautiful, now they are mostly English. Toilets nearly as bad as the worlds end. lots of tvs for the footy. gmap Update !! Under new Management. Interior has been improved slightly, with London Pride on the pump at £3.20 a pint. The quality of the pint is a lottery really, staff here not on the ball when it comes to looking after a barrel. Wheelchair access ramp at entrance which is nice to see.
