The Floirin, N19

The Florin is a decent sized stand alone pub situated on the busy Holloway Road. Once inside there is a square shaped room with the bar facing,the room is carpeted and has comfy bench seating in bays to the front,there is a pool table in the middle of the room,there are normal tables and chairs elsewhere. A large screen to the right was showing the rugby and a TV above the bar was showing horse racing. There were no real ales on the bar,i had a drink of John Smiths Smooth Crap,which was crap. The pub was fairly busy on my Saturday afternoon visit. I thought this was a decent enough pub,just a shame there was not a real ale on the bar. Pub visited 25/2/2017

Big old Irish boozer with pool table Sky sports and big big keg fonts.The picture of this pub make you think they have a carpark outside or you have to climb over cars to get in but its not the case.

1 roomed pub serving a standard draught selection.

This good sized single room Irish boozer doesn’t look the most welcoming from the outside, but I’m glad that I took a deep breath and walked in as, although not the sort of place one would take the missus, I found the landlady to be very pleasant and the rag tail band of old boys at the bar were harmless enough. There are a couple of plasma screens that were showing a premiership match on Sky and I spotted a jukebox in the corner which I’d imagine being used when there is no sport and no band set up on the small stage area. There is a dartboard on the wall behind the stage and I spotted a list of upcoming horse racing events on the toilet door so I’d imagine a few screwed up betting slips can be found on the bar during the day. The furniture is old and the upholstery has seen better days, but I’m a fan of these Irish pubs where the air is blue and I would pop in again if passing.
