Above expectations
Proper old-skool pub, on the busy Holloway Road - opposite the imposing Odeon Cinema. 3 screens for the football, very cheap beer - you can buy 2 pints of beer/cider and a large glass of wine for about £8. Big pub, lots of chairs so you'll always get a seat. 2 big TVs in the main bar and one massive projection screen on the back wall - though this is often out of focus so rather difficult to watch. There is a pool table in use when there's no footie on the big screen. Bar staff and management are very friendly and become familiar very quickly. There are some great characters who drink here. Its not a pub for a glam night out but good for watching football with mates or just having a quiet pint watching the nutters walk along Holloway Road. This pub will inevitably be 'upgraded' in the next few years so enjoy it while its there. Not everyone's cup of tea but put it this way - you don't need to dress up or bring loads of money to enjoy it. THERE SHOULD BE MORE PUBS LIKE THIS - NOT STUPID 'ALL BAR ONES' etc...
