Iāve heard good things about The Faltering Fullback up past The Emirates.
Grand spot. West Limerick guy owns it.

Soho remains great. But peopleās favourite pubs, and why, is a funny topic and naturally a divergent one. Was in The Coach & Horses a good few times. Had its pluses but always seemed terrible bright for a pub. The French House had better lighting but was obviously after being ādone upā.
Was in the Colony Club twice. Odd and frenetic sort of place. But I was only there the twice and not out of my box, either time, on powder. Soā¦
To me, The Argyll Arms has the full set: decor, lighting, excellent beer.
Christā¦pm me @BruidheanChaorthainn if you need a few decent pubs and clubs instead of these tourist hellholes

Imagine going on a pub crawl with these tedious bastards.
Is the griffith on the old clerkenwell rd still going btw, @Tassotti ?
Going to London, or any city, just to visit pubs is a bit mentalā¦but each to their own.

FFS, heās had his fill of Kronenbourg 1664 already
Someone tipped up a lovely place in Holborn here years ago. Best pub Iāve ever been to in London. It has something Royal in the title anyway
Princess Louise?
I think thatās it. Loads of little separate private spaces in it but a lovely buzz of conversation. No TVās. As private or as open as you like
yeah thatās the oneā¦ youād get lost fair quick in it with all the hidey holes

@Tassotti and anyone else.
Any recommendations for good pubs north of the Thames?
Iāll be visiting the City of London next weekend to see Erik Ten Haag lift his first trophy as Manager of Manchester United but will need something to do on the Saturday afternoon/evening.
My companion will be a cider drinking, GAA fan from Tipperary so if we could find somewhere that a) shows GAA on TV and b) serves Bulmers/Magners that would be optimum.
(I assume there would be a strong correlation between a) and b).
Weāll be based a mere Rory Delap throw in away from The Emirates Stadium so bare that in mind with suggestions. Iāve head heard good things about The Faltering Fullback just up past the Stadium but its owned by a Limerick man and Iām not sure weād be able to get over that.
Iām thinking Camden might be the best place to start looking?

Great pub in fairness. Was in the twelve pins by Finsbury Park tube after the Fleadh in the Park in 2004. I left halfway through Bob Dylan as he was shite. Counting crows had played that day and they were in there watching Spain Portugal in Euro 2004 and skulling pints. Was decent back then.

Does Mikey Fitzsimons still own it?
Unless it changed in recent times. His brother is a gas character.
