please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Upside: Reborn, decent selection of beers and ciders.
Downside: Too many rug-rats, acoustics are terrible, badly in need of some soft furnishing.
Much improved but...

Over priced so much !!! pub food lol more like iceland frozen food heated up ! i have known this pub for nearly 30 years and its been quite good up to around 1998 it then had a few dodgy lordlands who didnt know ass from elbow!! its now lost so many locals who i personally know and they have all left because prices and the selection of drinks on tap have halfed ? With the new stripped floor and afew pot planets they think they moved to chelsea or something problem is using Wilkinsons and argos wont work ! went from great local to great no go

Don't normally write reviews but I thought the masses need to be informed!!
This pub seems to have had a bad rep judging by previous reviews. Well forget the past this place appears to have been transformed.Been twice watching the football on the screens and having friendly banter with the locals (different team choice it appears!!) have also popped in at the weekend with the other half who listened attentively while I sang at Karaoke(I was great??) and then we both attempted to "strike poses" to the brilliant regular DJ. We have also soaked up the previous nights drink with the new Sunday lunch (great) and will return soon to this great place!

I walked in here and stood at the bar at the front of the pub for a couple of minutes without sighting any staff. I walked around towards the rear and found the barman eating his dinner behind the bar. Not the most professional approach to running a pub, but after a brief exchange whilst I ordered my pint I realised that he is insane.
There is some seating at the front of the pub and some more at the rear leading to a dance floor type area and there were some large speakers in the corner where a DJ/band of some description had recently had their gear set up.
I didn�t spot any TVs but I did spot a projector screen on the back wall, although there was not projector pointing at it.
I wasn�t greatly impressed with this pub and I can�t see myself returning.

this is quite a lively pub especially wen joey stone is in there

Back open, closure was only temporary. Still no good beer, though I am sure it's a great place if you're a regular.
|
Hasn't been open for a few days now, it seems. Not sure whether this is temporary or not.

I used to go here a lot when they had quizzes on and I have always found the staff very friendly and the pub as a whole has a very communal atmosphere. To me, this pub is exactly what most other pubs try to emulate, the dirt and seediness is what makes me love it. One of a dying breed.

I agree with most of the earlier comments, it's a very dump and filthy place. However, I wanted to give'em another chance and went in to watch an England footie game. Instead of the England game though, they were showing Lithuania v France on some strange Asian channel. Still very filthy, with some rather odd people inside and very smokey. The only plus is the summer terrace, that's about it...
Worth to walk a bit further to check out some better pubs...

Used to like this pub, until management changed. Got rid of live music, sky tv, quiz nights, flushing toilets and regulars! Most expensive pub in the area with the least atmosphere. Smells of dog poo -`not6 even with a visit!

I ran into a few old schoolmates in here. That's the best thing I can say about it. I can't argue with what's already been said.

Not a nice place. Unfriendly, dirty and generally nasty.
And since when was this pub in Hornsey? It's in Wood Green!

The place is a dump. You literally stick to the carpets in there (where the thread's not worn out).
A filthy, unwelcoming place.
When I was last in they even had nut on the bar for anyone to eat - a great way of tasting everyone else's bacteria!

Not anywhere near as bad as the previous comment suggests (but I would say that as its my local...). Does have sky sports now, plus decent pool table and sometimes live music/DJ/late licence on a Saturday. New terrace is good in the summer.

The management of this pub do not have a clue how to run a pub. The dearest pub in the area with NO attractions. They advertise football but don't have Sky Sports? Toilets are filthy and the music / Jukebox selection has been rubbish for years.
