Three hand pumps all offering quaffs from Redemption, the Hotspur Amber Ale, the Pale Ale and the Trinity Session Pale Ale. Keg offering of Fosters, the Redemption lager, Moretti, the APA from Saint Monday, Aspall cider, the Redemption Solar pale ale, Guinness, the Hazy Day fruity IPA from GK and the Table Beer from Kernel.

Attractive community pub on a quiet street, popular with Spurs fans. Inside it is L shaped with the bar counter following the internal shape of the venue. Terracotta tiled with regular tables and chairs along the front and then down the right-hand side opposite and beyond the end of the bar counter. There is a paved area out the back with typical patio style pub tables and chairs. TV’s dotted around and there is often live music here. Very friendly venue that is one, if not the best, in N17.

Back in again for a pre match pint but this time before Saracens annual shindig against the Quins, and found the Antwerp on top form. Packed out as expected, but this being a rugby crowd, a lot less profanities and a lot more civilised queuing. All Redemption beers tried were in good form, and excellent work behind the jump to keep up with demand.
If you want to experience the Antwerp properly, then recommended to visit on a non match day. And don’t be put off by the reviewer below. You will only be watched by the bar staff if you look like you are a ‘wrongun’ up to no good and clearly out of place in a community back street local in N17.
This area of Bruce Castle takes its name from the Bruce family, who owned large parts of the manor of Tottenham from at least the 13th century.

Originally the Hope & Anchor, the story of this pub’s history is well documented on CAMRA’s site and serendipitously it became the third pub visited by me this month in both Islington and Tottenham which were in, or overlooked where my grandparents variously lived; I use the term ‘lived’ loosely, as they now reside immediately to the rear in Tottenham Cemetery.
The interior is well described below, with a largely modernised interior featuring plenty of – probably modern – dark wood, modern boarded floor, fireplace with logs for decoration rather than heat, wasabi-coloured walls above grey/brown wainscoting, a white ceiling and Victorian-style chandeliers, sconces and traditional furniture. Customers were all resolutely locals, who live in close proximity to this pleasant Tottenham enclave: Bruce Castle (whoever he is). What I wasn’t expecting though, was some frightening ‘speed quiz’ which seemed to be electronically interactive, large screens delivering unfathomable information with a whizzy electronic soundtrack; the net result was like being a contestant on Pointless, the quizmaster being somewhat infantile, like a genuine gameshow host.
The ale choice amounted to two reversed Redemption clips, then Pale and Hopspur (obviously), served by a highly suspicious barmaid, who was initially too fearful to approach me, then watched me like a hawk as I sat and supped my half of Hopspur (£2.20) and very good it was too.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this place is one of the best pubs in N17, but equally I preferred the Beehive, finding the bright lighting and loud entertainment here a bit much.
