The Salisbury, Harringay N4

View Larger Map On Green Lanes and No.1 Grand Parade, a few bus stops away from Harringay Rail station. Old school London pub with lots of comfy seating, amazing interior and nice clientel. Ok food and live music sometimes. Fuller's London Pride, ESB, HSB, Honeydew and Discovery. Litovel Classic and Premium Czeck lager. Hoegarden, Leffe and Erdinger are the other imports. They all cost more here than anywhere else locally but, worth it considering the other options.....heritage pub. gmap

The Swimmer @ Grafton Arms

Nice hidden pub in a terrible area (the arse end of Holloway), not a massive place but frequently full. Outdoor but covered, gas heated seating and over priced food. Drinks include Fuller's-Honey dew, ESB, HSB, London Pride, Adnam's-The Bitter, Fruli (strawberry), Leffe, Erdinger, Hoegarden, Litovel-Classic and Premium Czech lager and the usual crap. The staff here are generally rude and unpleasant. Odd opening hours too, regularly closed for no apparent reason. Don't think the owners realise its a pub that serves food, instead of a restaurant with a pub bar

The Faltering Fullback

A few minutes walk from Finsbury park tube and bus station, you'll find the fullback tucked away on a quiet Perth Road View Larger Map One of my dearest places, across the park from me (Finsbury Park). A great pub in general with an amazing exterior, nice clientel, impeccable atmosphere, pool table, beer garden and Thai food(a bit pricey for the portions you get!). It gets absolutely packed in the evenings from thursday onwards. It has two different seating areas(one being of the garden bench variety) and two sets of toilets. So, on the ale front only London Pride and John Smith's (not the tastiest in the world!) but they do have Leff, Staropramen, Hoegardden and other super imports. Regular guest ales would make this pub a winner of more than just flower awards. Update ! Garden area has been tastefully expanded with decking upstairs. Warm lights and ample covered seating
