please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

This month it is a Romanian restaurant.
I wonder what it will be next month?

You�ll all be pleased to find out that the Central is no more as it has morphed into The Coconut Tree which now purports to be an Indian restaurant and bar. Unfortunately, it is more of a bar than a restaurant and after being collared by a pissed up youth at the bar I gleaned that the old Central lot still drink here. There are five or so plasma screens for sports and music channels and there is also a pool table in the corner which makes this place like no other curry house I have ever been in.

The staff were pleasant enough and a selection of standard draught lager is available alongside Guinness, which was good.

I think that this place has an identity crisis and it will end up just the same as its previous incarnation.

Never been In there since about 10 years ago. But on passing when leaving Finchley Central Station on my way to a decent Pub theres always gangs of kids & under 21 outside, It makes it feel a right horrible intimidating place.

Very very poor! Unless of course you are 14 and looking for a shandy-top!

the staff are rude, obnoxious and lazy. average drinker's age seems to be about 15. nothing good to say about this dive.
brian - 27 Sep 2004 15:09
not my cup of tea. full of trendy kids.
anthony - 10 Jun 2004 22:34
drink there sometimes. the beer is aweful. it takes about half an hour to get served and the majority of the drinkers seem about 14 years old. dont go!!!

great place, great music, nice people :-)

I've had a few drinking sessions here - usually attracts a young crowd on the pull. Decor's quite Ikea/glitzy.
Very handy for the tube!

I drink there sometimes, people are superficial and very pretencious, excellent meat market for teenage boys. as for some of the staff being any less rude....not a chance!

The pub has now closed down and is now 'The Central' a slightly dodgy teenie pub
Adam Pickering - 1 Apr 2003 12:52
It's now changed name to "The Central" sadly (the old name was the best thing about the place).
Hopefully the staff are a little less rude than the plankton who used to grudgingly serve in the Ferret..
