The Marquis, N16

This is a single room pub with a long bar that stretches down the right hand side wall and the left hand side has lots of tables and chairs. There are four plasma screens for showing Sky Sports and all of the punters in attendance were watching a Carling Cup game when I visited on Wednesday evening last week. There is a pool table at the rear of the pub and I spotted an advertisement for a DJ night, but I’m not sure if this is a regular thing or a one off. There is no real ale here and only a standard draught selection, but the Guinness was good. There are some picnic tables under an awning at the front of the pub that were being used by smokers. This isn’t the most exciting pub and I was glad the football was on to create a little bit of atmosphere.
