The Old Bell, Enfield

If its a wine bar that you're after, this is not the pub for you. If its a noisy sports bar you want,
with loads of morons shouting and swearing, then give it a miss. If its a quiet hotel wannabe bar you desire, definitely avoid it. If you are looking for a good old fashioned local, with decent
regulars of all ages, where you feel you can relax and have a couple of jars after work, this is your place. All ages drink here and all ages astonishingly get on well together. A friendlier pub would be hard to find. There is lots of banter of the more intelligent kind. Should you be into music, this is DEFINITELY your pub. The guv'nor looks to put on a range of different bands on most Fridays and every Saturday, and has Sunday jam sessions, starting about 5.00 pm. These are usually of a very high standard, and cost you nothing. Its a great way to end the weekend. One of the regulars, in conjunction with the pub, will occasionally showcase up and coming talent. This is not to be missed. Keep an eye out for these events. There is a brilliant atmosphere in the pub when the bands are on, and you won't find that in most other Enfield pubs, if you can find one regularly showing live bands.
