North Nineteen-Holloway

🚇 Archway 🍺 £6.00 Martina Lager A Superb Backstreet Community Local. The North Nineteen is located in a quiet residential area sandwiched between Holloway Road and Hornsey Road in Upper Holloway Islington. The nearest Tube is Archway, it’s a ten minute walk to get here. This pub was originally called The Enterprise, built in 1866. The pub was located close by and was demolished by either regeneration or a WWII bomb. The pub was rebuilt and relocated in the early 1960’s. This is a two bar pub that is in the main traditionally decorated with some modern touches here and there. The bar at the front is a good size, has a solid wood servery, plenty of seating and a cosy snug at the back. The back bar which is reminiscent of a traditional Public Bar is slightly smaller and has a pool table and a dartboard. For the warmer months there is an outdoor terrace and benches at the front. The beer selection is a solid mix of familiar keg favourites, Guinness plus beers and cider from local London breweries.I decided on a Martina Lager from North London Czech brewers @bohembrewery . My pint was great, price point was average. No food is served at present. I visited on a mild Saturday afternoon in January. The pub was fairly quiet with a couple of other punters in attendance. I had a lovely chat with the Landlord and Landlady who were telling me all about their welcoming pub. They also told me about how they have been able to offer a better selection of beers to their loyal customers. The N19 hosts weekly Open Mic nights and also Comedy nights throughout the month. The @northnineteen is a superb community boozer with passionate, welcoming and friendly owners at the helm. The beer choice will please most and the environment is that of a backstreet local. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would definitely recommend a visit. ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 06.01.24

This is a local pub for local people. Don't let that you off though: they're friendly and accommodating even to those of us who don't usually venture here. There is the roof top terrace (in-out or through the gents!!) and the bit out front. There is the pool table, and darts. And music / open mic. There is the friendly bar staff and the locals. An ok selection of drinks and tellys for those all-important games. What's not to like?!

One of my favourite local pubs. Great staff, a fantastic landlord and landlady, a real local vibe, dog-friendly, with an awesome terrace and a huge image of the UK's only honest politician on the wall. What a great boozer!!
