An unpretentious, no-nonsense drinkers pub, it's not a big place and to be honest it's scruffy, but this all adds to its charm. It has the trappings of a seventies country pub - Toby jugs, ornamental plates, and some 'interesting' wood panelling - but on closer inspection it might well be an Irish pub, as the walls were also adorned with pictures of Irish writers, thinkers and poets. It has, however, pandered to the 21st Century by including a television and a simple but effective beer garden. We also noticed the entrance to the Ladies is ridiculously narrow, which makes for good cabaret watching women trying to negotiate the doorway. Encouragingly, it seems to attract a wide variety of people. Once a place clearly the reserved for Crouch End's old men, it now (seemingly happily) shares its space with plenty of young locals, perhaps after somewhere with a bit of character. It's all the better for it, too.
