I believe the old Horsey Tavern shut a couple of years ago around 2018 which led to the spawning the Tav bar just up the road. But after a couple of years shut it underwent some work which saw some of the pub space converted into flats, the ground floor section reopened as the Hornsey Arms in September 2022. The outside naming has had a new paint job and changed to the new name, but strangely the pub sign is still the original Hornsey Tavern one.
Inside it remains one open space around an L shaped bar. The internal redecoration has given it a green and white colour scheme and the carpet is now replaced with a wooden floor. It’s got a bit of an Irish theme running through it, with televisions at either end and adverts for Irish sport and Guinness fonts in pride of place in the middle of the bar. There are two ale pumps on the short bar end section but these were not badged.
A few locals were camped on the bar stools on this particular late Wednesday lunchtime, and were giving the impression that they had been perched there for a while. I tried the Guinness and it was as expected. I am sure the locals are happy to have this one back but it will not be of interest to your average CAMRA card carrier.

I quite liked the look of the Hornsey Tavern from the outside and i was not dissapointed once inside.
There is a single L shaped room with the bar facing,the room is carpeted and has a couple of settees to the front right and normal tables and chairs and small stool elsewhere,the room extends down the left side,there are two slight steps the further down the room you go,there are more normal tables and chairs in this area.
This is a Greene King tied,there was one real ale on which was GK IPA which was a decent enough drink and a bargain at £2.00 a pint or £1.00 for the half i had.
There was a TV to the front showing a horse racing channel.
I thought this was a very smart and comfortable pub to have a drink in.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Hornsey Tavern
Corner Greene King pub, opened out at some stage to leave a 'L'-shaped bar with a mix of furniture. Basic decor, with football on the numerous sports TVs, and very much a 'local' feel. However, the lady behind the bar was friendly and made you feel welcome as a first-time visitor. Two of the three handpumps were in operation, offering the inevitable IPA and a hand-written clip for a 4.5% Redemption beer (which I took to be Hopspur, £3.50, and in very good form). Also had a '2nd pint of cask ale for £1' offer which is a good deal.
