David Walton left this review about Highbury Library
Visited 24/06/26. Visited previously 09/10/21.
No cask. Keg offering of Five Points XPA, Beamish Irish stout, Deya Summer Ale, Paulaner Hells and the Highbury Screamer (provenance unknown). Decent wine range also.
Bar opposite the Emirates. Some pavement seating at the front and then up a couple of steps is a bare boarded area with the bar counter on the left-hand side in a bare boarded venue. There is some tall stool seating at the bar counter and on the right-hand side is initially a tan coloured sofa and then a series of regular tables and chairs. On the left-hand wall beyond the end of the bar counter is a drinking ledge with some tall unbacked stools. There is some seating out the rear that was the super popular option on my visit. No screens and a Specials album playing on my visit. Indeed, the racks on the right- hand wall housed a considerable vinyl collection.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Highbury Library
Located directly across from the Drayton Park entrance to the Emirates Stadium, describing itself as a 'Natural Wine Bar + Shop', but also serves a few less usual keg beers too. On my visit these were Deya's Summer Ale (£7.50), XPA from Five Points, Beamish and the 'house' Highbury Screamer of unknown provenance, along with Paulaner on its bespoke Germanic font. Seating is available up a few steps by the bar, out in the small backyard and downstairs in a half-basement.
