The Antwerp Arms, Tottenham

Hello anon, thought I'd just mention that at least 3 of the bar staff are black so I don't think you'll get ethnic group-themed hostility from them, and indeed the big plus (apart from the nice location) about this place is the friendly and efficient service. This used to be my regular before and after Spurs matches - getting served straight away, even from 3 rows back, is always welcome.

However, the back room used to be a great place to sit and watch an earlier match etc. but the TV there has been broken for I think around 2 years and they put a big pool table in, so now there's only 3 tables there to sit at, all crammed together, one of them next to the gents which usually stinks. They even took down the pictures of the Spurs players!

I'm not so qualified to comment on non-match days, but when the Spurs fans leave you realise some of the regulars are quite burberrytastic and boasting about some random acts of violence - although I may be exaggerating a bit there... basically it used to be a really nice place, not so sure now.
