Adnams Bitter, Taylor's Landlord, Guest beer

Briefly this had been the Black Horse Music Bar but they have dropped the "Music Bar" element, reverting to a more normal pub. The new owner took over last November and started with Adnams Bitter and sales were encouraging. He then took off Stella and replaced it with Taylor's Landlord. Further encouraged, he has recently removed another packaged beer and introduced a 3rd pump to take a rotating guest. N19 is now an area well worth a visit. No food as yet but plans to introduce basic snacks like pies, pasties and filled rolls.

ST JOHNS

91 Junction Road, N19 5QU

0207 272 1587

Black Sheep Best Bitter, Fuller's London Pride, Hop Back Summer Lightning

Just down from Archway at the corner with St Johns Grove. The pub has undergone a professional and pleasant refurbishment. Ok, it has the obligatory picture windows, large scrubbed tables, walls filled with photographic displays, lamp standards and the other patter familiar of your thoroughly modern North London pub right down to the gastro menu. But if it helps in a pub’s renaissance, all the better for it. The colour combinations and discrete lighting help accentuate some of the older, retained features. Standard North London snacks of bowls of olives or pistachios; the main bar was thriving, while at the back a large room has been excellently converted to a table service restaurant.

STAR

47 Chester Road, N19 5DF

(202) 7263 9027

12.00 - 23.00 (00.30 Fri/Sat but no admission after 23.00)

Taylor's Landlord; Woodforde's Wherry plus a guest beer (which seems to usually be from a micro brewerey); Weston's Old Rosie

Reopened under a new name and given the gastro treatment with avocado wood panelling and ceiling, exposed brickwork, wooden floors, candles, huge clear picture windows. Large tables seat from 4 to 14 and there are three settees grouped around a taditional open fire. Various bottled ciders are also available bu the Addlestone's Cloudy on pump is not felt to meet CAMRA's standards on what makes real cider. Live accoustic music upstaors on Thu evenings. Beer garden. It is almost unrecognisable from its previous existence having moved distinctly upmarket and the result is quite pleasing. Food served until 22.00.

WHITTINGTON AND CAT

89 Highgate Hill, N19 5NE

No real ale

Confrimed that the handpumps are still unused, one with a Theakston XB pump clip turned round. Has been like this for sometime. Nice pub though, quite old interior, much quieter now the new entrance to the hospital is further down the hill and the bus stop has moved.

WHITTINGTON STONE

53 Highgate Hill, N19 5NE

Fuller's London Pride

Two recent visits have found Pride on handpump, so it looks like it is now available permanantly. In the past, real ale supplies have been, at best, intermittent. Cheap and cheerful food available, mostly used by locals from the estate that it is part of (it was built in the same style and at the same time as the estate) and workers and visitors to the Whittington hospital.
