The Hollybush, Enfield  

Do you remember when pubs were just pubs? Dark interiors, patterned carpets, pool tables, dartboards, karaoke and old blokes propping up one side of the bar? If you do, you either remember the years before 1998 pretty well... or live in Enfield, a place almost entirely missed off the gastropub map. The Hollybush is one of these pubs. A fair proportion of the clientele here are best described as 'normal Enfield blokes', so expect loudness, football talk, high lager sales and a propensity for unpredictability. Consequently you never know what kind of atmosphere you'll find here - we've not witnessed any real problems here, but the occasional lairy behaviour might just get a bit too much for those of a more sensitive disposition. Still, there's plenty of events to keep the punters entertained: live bands, quiz nights and party nights all go towards making this a proper local pub.
