The pizza and beers here are INCREDIBLE, the bar staff are really friendly, and its got loads of big screens if you want to watch the sports.

One of the worst pubs in the area. Very expensive drinks and very poor bar staff. Just avoid!

Waited 30+ minutes for a drink, and then made a comment to a few guys that had also been waiting, that there should be a wall where our section of bar was as they clearly were not paying attention to us. Clearly in this moment the barman finally paid attention and took offence to this. Shame he didnt pay attention earlier. This bar man then let his colleagues know about our comment and they served others over ourselves despite other customers saying we were there first. Avoid this place, terrible service, terrible prices, terrible staff management. Head to Islington sports bar instead.

Great pub! Always go here before the Arsenal games. Decent beers, pizza is great! Staff are always friendly and helpful. It gets busy on matchday but thats part of the buzz! Staff work very hard to get everyone served. Always a good atmoshpere and loads of different areas to sit. Would highly recommend!

Ordered a round at 11 oclock and was harassed to the point of intimidation to leave the pub by 11.15 ....made a good night into a nightmare...I really thought the bouncers were going to man handle us if we didnt comply... totally un called for, and at them prices you should be given adequate time to finish your drinks. cant recommend an establishment that has so little regards for its clientele.

Great pub, with a wide selection of beers of all types, and bar staff who know what they’re taking about.At the time I visited (mid August 2021there was no food served (they’re hiring a chef), but they recommended and encouraged us to order in from any of the local takeaways, which was actually a plus point for me as it’s a great neighbourhood for food.Also note it’s a football pub, and especially an Arsenal pub as it’s a 5 minute walk from the stadium. We watched the game at the front on a decent sized flat screen, but the real magic is in the heart of the pub where there’s a huge projector screen - possibly the biggest I’ve seen in a regular pub.

What a find this was! Viewing houses up and down holloway road with a friend and stumbled upon this. Amazing food menu, insanely good craft beer selection without the daft craft prices. Friendly staff and huge TVs for sport.

Really nice pub, with amazing pizzas. Have a great games room upstairs with retro arcades and a Garlando Foosball table. You can also buy tokens at the bar to play!

I am writing this review which is mainly aimed at Plonk Golf, but feel as they are both in the same building it is only fair that the pub are aware of how abysmal the organisation of Plonk is and why we will not be returning to the pub for any reason in the future.We were the group of 18 whos afternoon golf session on Friday had been double booked. This was our Christmas do and very disappointing that we were unable to play. We were treated appallingly by Plonk who dont seem to have any staff present and who rely on the pub staff, who tried their best to deal with us but who were ultimately too far removed from Plonk to sort it out. This is wholly inadequate when there are clear issues with how Plonk runs their business. We had an area booked for afterwards and would have stayed in the pub the whole night once our golf had finished but obviously didnt feel able to after the way we had been treated. We work locally and wanted to support local business. We will not be returning to the pub as confidence has been lost and will take our custom elsewhere.

Years ago this was a good Irish boozer. Live music, with a great house band. Republicans dodging in and out with a bucket looking for donations and selling copies of An Phoblacht. The stage is gone, as are the Irish, and now this is a sports bar. Very crowded when I was there and very much survival of the fittest in order to get a drink. Probably the norm in London but a bit of training would not go amiss. Could do worse, but nothing exceptional.

I had a great time with my friends at weekend. The pub has got a real good atmosphere, good selection of drinks on reasonable prices, and nice food too. There are big screens for sports as well as various games to entertain the customers plus a good size garden. The only thing I was wondering so far was why the blond girl at bar told me my table was upstairs upon arrival but clearly it was downstairs even some of my friends have already got there?! Well we allow mistakes like this as long as is not ignorant.

We went here for the crazy golf and it was a lot of fun. The holes are so well made and unique. They’ve done an incredible job.They have plenty of old school arcade games which are good to play.The bar is stocked with a massive selection of craft beers and you can get a tasting tray. 1/3 pint glasses to try them out.Bar staff were very helpful and knowledgeable abut all the craft beers and were able to recommend ones based on what I already liked.Would def recommend for a group to have fun, play games and have a few drinks.

Came here for an after work drink, very interesting selection of beers, and I was able to try before buying. The pizza we had was amazing, best Ive had in a really long time and although not given away, very reasonable pricing and came out quickly. We sat by the open front doors in the sunny afternoon then retired into the closed back when the temperature dropped. Some serious tunes were playing and had a very enjoyable evening.

This pub is really a great find. We came in and ordered the most authentic Italian pizzas we’ve had since visiting Rome! Stayed around for the Sunday quiz which was also great. Lovely staff and management team, all so friendly with incredible knowledge and a warm atmosphere- they made us feel so at home and like we had known them for years! Thanks for a great evening guys, we’ll definitely be back- with more friends next time!

Me and my friends came here to watch the rugby and football on Friday evening. Amazing atmosphere and staff is super friendly. The pizza was delicious and great range of craft beer. We definitely recommend the place and we will come back to check out the crazy golf upstairs.

Was having a wander down Holloway Road on a grey overcast Sunday. Stumbled across this pub and enjoyed a lovely afternoon in front of the football. Really good setup for watching, good service which was friendly but not too overbearing and well thought-out, comfy seating arrangement. A great find.

This place started well with nice pizzas until we’d bought token off modern day pirates.We were accused of doctoring the confirmation emails, in order to score more tokens. And then blankly refused to provide us with the amount of tokens we ordered. This whole show took more than an hour and we ended up leaving with nothin more than a “you can complain through the third party ticket agent”Avoid this pub at all costs..

I was only here for a drink and dont eat any food. It was a really nice place. We sat near the fire which was cosy. They were showing the Tottenham and Chelsea match so you could watch football when its on. The staff are really friendly. They even thanked us for coming when we left!

Good arsenal pub, need your ticket to get in on match days. Nice selection of beers, including local IPAs from Beavertown etc. Toilets are clean and there is an outdoor area with benches for the smokers. Interior of the pub is a bit dated, but lots of space to sit and different spaces to explore, so feels like there are lots of zones. Friendly staff too.

Visited here last night for the first for the pub quiz and was thoroughly impressed. It was cosy and well decorated. Friendly staff. Excellent pizzas, probably the best Ive ever had in a pub. Quiz was good fun and not ridiculously hard/pretentious. Overall, a great place, only wish I lived closer!

Super place to go for a fun game of crazy golf, an enjoyable game of chess or some good old classic arcade games. Nice beer and friendly staff too! Really cool place to go for after work, TGIF drinks or even a first date! Good selection of drinks too.

Renovated within the last year, pitched to appeal to a millenial beer-fancier crowd.- Rotating offer of 8 beers- Pizzas availableSadly, its still the same dark and awkward spaces. I dont find the new style suits the building or the area. Other beer and pizza places with much more character and welcome are available.

Ordered a gluten-free pizza and was served a normal one despite double-checking with the waiter whether what he brought to the table was actually gluten-free. After having eaten half of it, it turns out is wasnt gluten-free after all. While the manager apologised and tried to make up for it by giving me a voucher, he didnt seem to understand the gravity of the situation. Very poor experience.

Fantastic pub. The upstairs bar will tickle a lot of peoples attention as there is a crazy golf course there. Drink choice is OK, could do with more drought ciders. Bar staff are super friendly and welcoming. They show the sport there. Its a good place to watch the sport.

Its a great space and the staff are friendly, but they have no bar awareness. I have watched several people wait at the bar for ages as staff chat amongst themselves. They need to sort out their poor attitude. Having said that, good music and atmosphere. Shame the service lets it down.

Beer selection was really good and well priced, but the pizza was quite soggy and not great.
