A two room pub with more of a modern bar feel about it. A set of three handpumps in each room with two beers on my visit, Vale Wychert and Belleville Bellevue Mild.
Not a bad place but equally nothing particularly special either.

Originally the Enterprise, this pub dates from at least the mid-19th century, but was rebuilt possibly around the early ‘60s, 70 metres to the south-east of the original site; it was renamed the Pink Flamingo in 2006, the current name arriving around 2008.
Nothing of the original interior seems to have survived what is a modern aesthetic, with a black and white colour scheme and little décor; there’s a pool room to the rear, which seems to be accessed by going out the front then in the side. Mention is made earlier of this being a gastropub, but I didn’t get the impression that there was any food here; there’s no mention of a menu on their website, despite pictures of food on their gallery. There was a TV showing sport with the sound off, so as not to compete with a decent reggae soundtrack. Customers were few in number despite my Saturday evening visit, but were youngish and undoubtedly local, given the remote backstreet location.
There were two unused pumps then – surprisingly – a real ale in the form of Hophead, served by a friendly barman but at an insulting £3.00 a half, though quite drinkable.
This is quite a dreary pub, but an absolute riot compared to the nearby and deathly Sussex Arms; though far from perfect, the Landseer is the preferred option in this area. Having read the previous reviews, I may be missing something, or perhaps the place has changed dramatically in the last 10-odd years?

North Nineteen is a corner pub that is set in the back streets between Holloway Road and Hornsey Road.
Once inside there is an oblong shaped room to the front which is bare boarded,there are normal tables and chairs for seating and a real fire was on the go to the front right,there is a separate room to the rear.
There were two real ales on the bar,i had a drink of Skinners Cornish Knocker,which was a decent drink,the other real ale was put on while i was there,this was Butcombe Bitter.
The youngish couple running the pub seemed very friendly and told me directions to a recently reopened pub.
A decent pub that some might find hard to find,a shame it was almost empty on my Saturday afternoon visit.
