Visited 07/01/26. Visited previously 29/06/21.

Two cask offerings of TT LL and L Pride. Keg offering of Guinness, Neck Oil, Pravha, Camden Hells, Lucky Saint, Aspall. One of the more interesting keg tap arrangements where the beers are cryptically displayed rather than by name – did ask, but no prizes for guessing.

Herringbone patterned block flooring with bar counter immediately inside the entrance. L-shaped with green leather banquettes along the frontage serving regular tables, albeit of a high-quality marble type. There is some tall stool seating at the bar counter with some more green leather banquettes over towards the left-hand fringes of the venue. Wood panelled and a good quotient of mirrors on the walls. Amazed this place does cask bitter as surely not the demographic and exceedingly bizarre that this place is open in the day and closed at 6pm early part of the week. Saying that it is an interesting and quirky venue, definitely some characters make this their regular with really friendly bar staff so marked up a point for that aspect, but otherwise a solid 5.

This pub dates from 1610, rebuilt in 1888 then again in 1930 with much done to the interior in 1992.
It reopened last November, having been taken over by the team behind the nearby Red Lion & Sun gastropub. Unsurprisingly, it’s now done up like a restaurant which probably explains the gastro menu.
Cask amounted to just Landlord, but the new aesthetic wasn’t an incentive to stay; neither is the Sunday to Tuesday closing time of just 18.00.
Another nail in the Highgate pub scene’s coffin.

Date of visit: 8th April 2016.

I've only visited this pub once, and that was a good six years ago. A return visit and I'd forgotten just how big this pub is nor had I appreciated the 1930s' wood panelling. There's also parquet flooring; furniture is conventional and there was a TV, thankfully off. This is probably the most down to earth pub in N6, with a younger more local crowd and lots of loud banter.

Real cider was on offer in the form of Orchard Pig's Explorer, ales offered were Sharp's Doom Bar, St. Austell's Proper Job and Celt Experience's Otherworld at £2.10 a half and good.

This pub isn't too bad, but unfortunately there's really rather too much swearing to make the atmosphere in here pleasant enough to warrant a return visit and the other N6 pubs are better.

I liked this pub. Smart interior and more drinkers than eaters. Four cask beers on inc Hilden -no4 and Belhaven -black which were in good condition. Keg beers from Meantime and Camden. Relaxing pub and will revisit.
