Review of Slaughtered Lamb

Movie Pub 
I was told that the pub was used to film America Werewolf but due to a refit the only thing I recognized was the shape of the bar. Nevertheless it was a good reliable pub. Food is average priced for a central gastropub. I had sausage and mash which tasted ok but i didn't think I got enough food for £8.

Review of The Larrik
16 May 07, 22:22
Good Value for Money 
The Larrick has the same qualities as the Old Diary across the road from it. Clean, lots of space, a good kitchen and a nice atmosphere. The bonus with this pub is that it has a good selection of board games, so you and your mates can have a few pints playing trival pursuit or dominoes. It also has a big screen for the big sports games as well and a few sofas around an old fireplace. If you are looking for a pub thats got atmosphere but not too loud, and you like your board games, go to the Larrick.

Review of The Mother Redcap
16 May 07, 17:52
Its a dive 
I got recommended the pub by a friend of a friend. As soon as I walked in, I wanted to walk out. It's a dive, with shabby interior, a shabby pool table and a lot of old men escaping from their wifes. The drinks are quite cheap and if you like you greyhound and horse racing you will have a great time otherwise don't venture near it. If you like Irish pubs go to the Fullback in Finsbury Park or the Boston Arms in Tufnell Park.

Review of Lil Red
13 May 07, 19:09
Smaller Version of Big Red
Lil Red is about 5-10 minutes down Holloway Road from its bigger brother, Big Red. The attractions of Big Red havent move across to Lil Red as there is no space for any pool tables or enough people to create a good atmosphere. However its still a better place to drink that most of the other pubs along the bottom end of holloway road. Like most pubs its put 10 flat screen tv's on the wall playing irrelevent programmes but its clean, bright and prices match the Big Red.

Review of The Faltering Fullback
10 May 07, 23:25
Best Pub in North London 
This is one of those pubs only people in the 'know' are aware of because its nestled away in the back streets of finsbury park. But It's well worth going too. Everything about this pub is beautiful to look at. Outside the pub is covered in Ivy leaves and flowers, inside the bar there are childhood items hanging off the roof. Theres a good atmosphere as well plus they have a small kitchen sevring thai food and they have a screens for all the big sports games. It is an Arsenal pub but they will show the spurs games as well. If you like pubs with lots of character, this is the place for you.

Review of Mornington Crescent Underground Station
08 May 07, 20:57
Outside the Koko
I think this station is still being worked on during the weekends, but it does the job. I'm taking stars away for it being on the woeful Northern Line. However I'm putting points back for it being 10 seconds away from the Camden Koko venue.

Review of The Flask

Smashing Pub
I found the Flask purely by accident whilst looking for pub's in Highgate. What a great find! Not only do they have a great selection of drinks including the wonderful Fruli Strawberry Beer on tap, they have a large outdoor seating area, mostly sheltered and heated for the winter. Inside the pub is quite small but its tastefully done and it has a good selection of food. Your first port of call for anyone going to Highgate for drinks.

Review of Big Red
07 May 07, 21:00
4 Pool Tables
For me, Big Red's quality lies in it having 4 pool tables. I have yet to find a pub with more than two in London. Big red also has quite a few fruit and pinball machines but alas no quiz machine. The Big Red gives the impression thats its a mid west theme bar but thats deceptive. Big Red always has an unusual selection of people from goths and punks to students of all ages. Jonny Burrell from Razorlight was in there the other week. There aren't that many good places on Holloway Road but this is one of them.

Review of The Quays
04 May 07, 20:57
One of the nicer pubs on Holloway Road
The Quay has a very distinct look from the outside. You can't miss it's blue exterior and flashy lights. Inside the pub is big with a second floor and on friday and saturdays its open to 4am! Which is very good in my eyes. However this only attracts the drunk males on the weekend and it has no pool or quiz machines which I personally like. The service is good and I'm aware they serve food. The place only really has atmosphere on the weekends so go then if you can.

Review of The Old Dairy
04 May 07, 15:39
Good Pub Conversion
The Old Diary used to be a building for cows before market with a few of the original features still on show. This pub has everything you would ask for, clean, good kitchen, sofas, quiz machine, regular weekly pub quiz (on a thursday). On a friday night they have the cow club which is a dj playing some indie tracks until midnight which is also very good and very popular with the locals. A pub with something for everyone.
