The Tav, Hornsey, N8

This bar was opened in 2018 by the previous management of the Hornsey Tavern up the road when it closed. From the outside it looks to be a shop conversion but apparently it was a bar and a night club before becoming the Tav. It’s long and thin with a modern brick walled, wooden floor decor and the bar half way up on the right hand side. Seating to the wall opposite the bar and then a more open space at the end with TV screens throughout and sky sport being advertised. Then there are a couple of metal tables and chairs to the front of the pub that catch the afternoon sun. No ale here, just the usual fizz taps with the usual suspects. As a bar it was comfortable and pleasant enough but it’s difficult to get away from the fact that it is more nightclub bar than comfortable pub.
