I have been caught out by the strict 4pm opening in the past but this time arrived while it was open.The outside looks great with glazed green tiles,while the interior is noted mainly for it's lack of light. The floor is dark wooden,there is dark wood panelling around the walls and the ceiling is painted black with illumination coming from some low intensity wall lights and hanging flexes over the bar with more help from candles either in wine bottles or tea lights at the tables.The furniture is traditional apart from some high tables to the side of the front door and the atmosphere is moody .However a fantastic soundtrack with rock standards from the 50's to date gives an uplifting vibe .It's popular with younger folk but can accomodate older clientele.There is a rear section behind the bar.
Three handpumps were offering Mad Squirrel Mr Squirrel,Beerblefish Hoppy Little Fish and a good Five Points Derailed Porter (NBSS 3.5,£4.60). There are 12 keg taps offering 10 local craft beers,in what looked like an interesting range.
There are a lot of indifferent pubs along the Holloway Road and this is a considerable step up.I enjoyed my visit,the bar staff were very welcoming ,and I would return possibly to check out the craft beer options besides the decent real ale range.Rightly listed in the 2023 GBG.

I must have walked past this pub many times on the way along the busy Holloway Road to or from the nearby Emirates Stadium, without having really noticed it. However, its inclusion in the latest Good Beer Guide drew my attention to it and I paid my first visit on Monday.
As the previous reviewer states, it's very dark inside. Lighting is provided by tealights on the tables, with the bar providing a little light too. 3 real ales are served. On our visit, these were Redemption Trinity & Fellowship & Five Points Best. My Trinity was a little lightweight at just 3%. Craft beers were Three Sods American Porter, Five Points XPA & Good Point Well Made, Signature Roadie, Anspach & Hobday Passion Fruit Sour, Orbit Peel & Howling Hops Dunes of the Cape & Tropical Deluxe. The fizzy cider was Umbrella.
I may not pass by so readily in future, but I suspect it gets very busy on matchdays and is probably still best avoided.

Possibly the darkest pub I have ever been in, with dark painted walls and ceilings and illumination restricted to half a dozen red bulbs over the bar and a scattering of candles and candle-effect bulbs, otherwise just lights from the street outside. It seemed to have a long room front and back of the central bar with tables, but difficult to be sure! Very friendly though and with 3 ales on handpump - 5 Points Best and Kent Brewery Session and Cobnut - plus a fair selection of craft, most of which change regularly by all accounts. It would score higher if you could see what you were drinking.
