I went in here last night after walking out the spoons. Much better Place found staff very friendly & Polite Also very good customer service. The other customers treat you just like your one of the regulars nice friendly atmosphere which makes a change Excellent Pint of Guinness as well Not sure what other Beers or Ales were on as I was already been on a good session all day. I would definitely visit again next time I'm finchley Its well worth a visit if you prefer to go in a Pub not full of loud mouth Kids & screeching Girls where every other word is sworn out loud. Still has Dart Board Plenty & of TVs showing Sky Sports as well.

The Best Pub in Finchley by far, and has been for ages!

popped in before crossing over to the arts depot one evening. seems like a popular place, quite busy for a week night. staff were friendly and the prices are lower than other pubs in the area. i would go back.

This Pub is now called The Finchley Tavern Its Still as good as Before and even seems too be Improving.

Went in here for the first time in several years for a few pints before a comedy night at the Arts Depot over the road. The pub was quite busy and now seemed to be under different management than my last visit. They seem to have kept on the same friendly atmosphere and my two beers were fine and relatively cheap for the area. I will return again.

Gary, you're In trouble when this pub phones you to tell you they're open.
And why do my reviews keep getting removed ?

Worth visiting after the Elephant closes and you want to carry on drinking.

A reasonably good small bar with good Guinness. Much better than the Chave and Kid filled Tally Ho opposite or that under aged drinking den The Autumn House.

There are loads of these Irish shop conversion pubs around and they all seem to have the same great banter and service and the Wishing Well is no exception.

I can�t really fault the pub, but I think that you have to be in the mood for it.

A pleasant and friendly little boozer.

Good "shop front" pub. Mark is a tremendous landlord and his staff are always good and friendly. Can be a bit rowdy though, so maybe not the best pub for you if you hate that kind of thing.
