Our regular footstompin' country-fried nights are every Wednesday, and we do rather extra tasty Saturday night shows the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month. We also do the odd one-off special now and again - check our menu for those. And we sometimes do a secret show or two - you need to be on the mailing list to hear about those shows - so get signed up! It is not dive club, it's a quality small and beautifully decorated venue, with a friendly atmosphere. Its run by Steve and Ali and they are fans of the music which is always a good sign, each night there is a DJ playing an interesting selection of Americana, drinks are reasonably priced, there is no entrance fee, but a rather large glass is taken around by Ali and she likes to collect as much she can for the band, so go on stick a tenner in it's well worth it It's a 5 minute walk from Leytonstone tube and loads of buses stop nearby,

So for some reason I was terrified of walking into this place. Don't ask me why, I thought it just…read moreseemed like the kind of genuine Irish pub where a fight could break out at anytime. Anyway, I soon realised that there was nothing to be scared of. This small place is a real gem that I am really happy about discovering. It is a small bar that provides a bit of escapism by taking you out of London, and into Ireland. It is such a good feeling when a pub can do that. The location is perfect, as Church Street is full of genuine shops, bars and cafes that reject tackiness and any kind of cheap imitations of culture.

Its not too crowded and has that dark cozy pub feel where you could get happily sloshed without having a lot of nobs hit on you.

We had a some of the Sunday roast while having a good catch up. They only start serving at 1pm,but ... ohh ... it was great. We both had the vegetarian option which came with nicely roasted veg, gravy, Yorkshire pudding and the veggie roast was a nice mushroom/nuts/cauliflower mixture in a fluffy pastry. After that we moved away from the table to a super confi sofa near a real fireplace. The place was busy with loads of young families and their friends. Very relaxing, but still busy atmosphere.

It has a wide selection of real ales and lagers on tap such as the much sought after Staropramen, and my favorite, the blond Leffe. They also serve food from the bar with a modern menu, fairly priced and with large servings. This is a place where you can happily wile away a few hours of the night or day in deep armchairs, and then return to the fray refreshed and revived. You might say the Salisbury is more time machine than pub, it has awards on show celebrating its level preservation and an array of stuffed animals which were most likely bagged in 1908. Meet your Dad there for Sunday lunch, its a rare find you won't forget.

Is Haringey the new Shoreditch or Dalston?…read more This great coffeeshop/bar/eatery on the upper part of Haringey Green Lanes is definitely a bit out of place amongst all the Turkish places, but along with Blend (another hip and trendy addition to the neighbourhood), they seem to be the coining what is generally referred to as an up-and-coming neighbourhood. My friend took me here for a drink on a rainy Sunday afternoon; we had just had brunch at Rakkas - a great Turkish place nearby. This friend of mine is really spot on when it comes to finding out about hidden spots like this one...and here's how he does it; he follows the artists crowd. Being a music lover, he is constantly on the lookout for new talent and "Jam in a Jar" is a place where such talents get sponsored, featured & highlighted. Point in fact, when we were there we got to briefly chat with the owner and he mentioned that that very same night thy would have a jazz/soul performer starring. I am really glad that a bar like this has opened on Haringey Green Lanes.

Well actually it once was with much more dodgy clients but thats gone now and it's done up, with even a roast being advertised with much more families turning up. Can't out finger on it, I'm not sure what It is trying to be. Maybe nothing, just a run of mill pub. I want to like it, not the biggest fan of the bar being so narrow as you walk in though the beer was ok. Prepared to give it a chance though and visit again. Suppose it's perched in a strange location. Hoping it has some sort of music night as I think a theme would be good for a pub like this actually.

Their Swedish pear cider was great if you like sweet cider. I really liked the breaded brie with cranberry sauce and eggy creme brûlée. I also tried a bite of falafel burger which was quite good.

Unfortunately, the actual pub doesn't serve food. The pub staff are always really nice even when they're busy. The clientele range from older men to hipsters to young professionals to everything in between. It's a really good place to grab a pint and they even allow four legged friends. I had a lovely time here last night listening to a blue grass band. There was lots of people there and even some dancing. The atmosphere was great and we really enjoyed ourselves! Now that I've listed all the positives, I do need to talk about the negatives. The pub needs a restoration as it is beginning to look a little worn. For example, the carpets need to be replaced and it could do with a fresh coat of paint. However, the place is pretty clean for a pub! This is pretty minor as the other elements are way more important to a night out. On the other hand, this is also part of the vibe. Overall it's a charming aspect of the community that I'm glad is around!

I didn't realize there was 2-for-1 drinks (has to be the same cocktail) but what a nice surprise! The pub is appropriately shabby, with dark wood floors and booths with split open seats and sticky tables. Pretty buzzing for a Monday night. I ordered the Parma Violence: gin, violette liquor, lemon juice and gomme and it was smashing. Delicious and potent. Now the pizza (sigh). I ordered the passion amore: avo, capers, mint and aubergine as the veg pizza option was not part of the two for £12 (boo on them). My hubs got some meat pizza. They came relatively quickly and looked very nice. Mine had large chunks of avo sprinkled atop. But... Yet AGAIN in London, mediocre pizza itself. The dough base was probably my favourite part as it was thin and just chewy enough. But bland I sauce, bland taste. My husband said his was similar. I swear pizza in London just sucks compared to NY. All these reviews claiming how good the pizza is are so misinformed.
