Oct 2023 - The Northern Lane station at Kentish Town is closed until Easter next year - Thameslink overland still ok Tufnell Park is probably the best alternative on the tube but far easier to walk from Kentish Town West.
Four times winner of the CAMRA North London Branch Pub of the Year (2013, 2015, 2018 and 2023). After four years being closed, this community pub was reopened by the people that own the Pineapple. It has an L-shaped bar with comfortable stools, tables and seating. Eight Cask Real Ales and a selection of kegs and bottled ales regularly available. Up to 4 ciders on cask/handpump such as Seacider or Turner. Runner-up in the 2022 North London Cider Pub of the Year competition.
As a member of CAMRA's LocAle scheme expect to see a good range from London's LocAle breweries. Traditional home-made food with speciality pies. Heated/covered beer garden is well designed and is a nice feature. Popular Wednesday quiz and live sessions of traditional music on Thursday evenings. Tap takeovers every 2 months and pop-up events. Keep an eye on their social media and events page for tap takeovers and other one off events.
