Small bar, as noted below, directly outside Finsbury Park station.
Wasn't intending to visit on this occasion, but in passing noticed there was a live band on so popped in to check. Two-member female band belting out some of their own compositions, definitely punk end of spectrum so very much to my liking, one entitled the "Northern Line" was particularly catchy!
Only what could be described as a "usual suspects" keg array, opted for a pint of Camden Pale Ale, actually my first for a while. Band aside, i couldn't stretch to a 5 for this venue and would opt for other venues when around FP station.

A modern looking bar directly opposite Finsbury Park Station but often obscured by buses waiting at their stands.There is a bracket for a pub sign,so I assume it must have been a proper pub at some time,but these days it has regular name changes and is faceless.The interior has a wooden floor throughout,very sticky close to the side bar,while the interior is L shaped with SKY flatscreens ,the one at the rear is above a small raised area with a sofa below.Elsewhere leather buttoned chairs and square tables make up the furniture.It's dark ,noisy and will be used by Gooners both before and after matches,so expect a boisterous atmosphere.The bar has two ranks of 6 keg taps with mainstream beers and lagers doubled up and £2.75 for my half of cold and fizzy Camden Pale was a total rip off.My excuse for entering ? Just missed my train ,but next time I will just hang around on platform 8.

The Gas Light is now called The Silver Bullet (for a short time only, check the website below)

I popped in here at about 22:30 on Saturday night and the place was pretty empty except for a couple of forlorn looking men sitting by the window and small group of smashed Arsenal fans playing pool and darts and chanting at Match of the Day on the TV. Only a basic selection of draught was available and the head on my Guinness was huge. I didn't bother mentioning it to the barmaid as she looked like she had enough on her plate.
I can see no point in drinking here unless your going to the Emirates and are extremely unadventurous and go in the first pub you see when you exit the station.
