The Mother Red Cap, Archway

I visited this establishment recently for the firs time in several years(Having lived in the area previously) and I have to say as an Irishman in London for 27 years I found this place to be one of the reasons I left Ireland in the first place. Full of sad, morose, bitter idiots wishing for the past. (Yet, in the past they emigrated?) The beer was terrible. the staff rude and the all round experience distinctly unpleasant.
I certainly won't hurry back!

The St Johns Tavern, Archway

I used to drink in here in the 80's when it was a dive with a bad Elvis impersonator, but at least it was friendly?
Current opinion: food good, prices so-so, beer not the worst, staff rude, ignorant, ill mannered, surly, and downright unpleasant.
Ryanair are a joy to deal with in comparision?

Landlord take note!

The Archway Tavern, Archway

This place was a hole 20 years ago and has not changed in that time. This is the type of place that gives the Irish a bad name. Is it any wonder we are perceived to be a nation of ignorant savages?
