    I think the Highgate Inn is best described by what you can find inside. You get all the necessities…read morefor both casual and committed drinker alike, fruit machines, heavy oak tables and even the unbalanced bar stools but that is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. This pub seems to have all the little extras that make a great pub. For a start the Juke Box (something which you really don't find in enough pubs) has an amazing array of songs, from the popular to the obscure allowing you to adjust the backing tracks to your night accordingly (although I did get some dirty looks when I put on 5 James bond themes in a row). The sofas (found to the rear of the bar) are incredibly comfortable and very easy to get enveloped by, I would recommend heading to the Highgate inn for these alone, the beer access is a plus. If that isn't for you there are plenty of normal seats and even the option to stand if you would like. In terms of drinks the array on offer is diverse (not ground breaking but certainly not dull). On occasion you may see the odd alcohol dispensing nick knack behind the bar (I once witnessed a bottle holster that caused a desperado bottle to float in mid air). Little props like a frog fountain that spews fog, 4-5 ft tall wooden horses and the occasional seal teddy hanging from the many abstract paintings create a hint of a quirky atmosphere without making that the theme of the pub. Should you feel the need to smoke you will be forced into the street but before you hit the pavement you can take refuge in the outside chairs complete with matching tables, not the best in the winter but better than having to dodge pedestrians. All in all this is a very under attended pub. The staff are helpful and polite, the locals and newcomers seem to get along well and the atmosphere is on par with most of the other pubs in Highgate (better than some).

    A decent 'old school' pub on Archway road a bit further on from the Woodman as you head up the hill…read morefrom the station. Inside you find lots of beams and dark wood, fruit machines, TV's for sport and plenty of seating dotted around including some sofas. It's all a bit mismatched and thrown together the way a pub should be. It reminded me of being in a little out of the way place in some village somewhere where the pretentiousness of London had passed by unnoticed. The beer on offer was ok, my London pride was pretty good although nothing special but for me the appeal of this place is the ease of getting a seat compared to the Woodman, the fact inside it's like pubs used to be before they all became identikit carbon copies of one another selling overpriced dismal food and trying too hard to be the next big foodie destination.

    This has got to be one of my most favorite places to go out ever! And I don't mean just at night,…read moreone of my favorite things in Summer is going in, having a great Mojito and watching the world go (well traffic go up and down the hill) through the open doors. It's not the most glamorous of places, it could do with a bit of re-decorating but they do make some of THE nicest cocktails I have ever tasted. I adore the Mojito, whilst my man loves their El Diablo, I have tried many others Singapore Sling, Mai Tai - all delicious! BUT and it is a big BUT the place has a bit of a nasty reputation once you get past 10 - 11pm when a more 'rowdy' crowd come in. We tend to leave then but the times we've stayed we've never experienced any trouble at all, it may be because we are stocky Northeners and with our now weakened accents or because we keep our selves to our selves but we have NEVER had any trouble. BUT we have heard things - even off the bar men - so be warned. I love it on a summer's evening have a few Mojitos with friends then home for a BBQ - what more could you ask for? Oh, it even has some great Latin music on selected nights, but again, caters for a different crowd later on by playing quite hard core Hip Hop (the main reason we don't usually stay) But it can play some great old school and they take requests - Bobby Brown goes down a treat!

    Really great littlle place and a haven from the chavtastic Village, which is opposite. 2 4 1…read morecocktails are a real bargain and the staff can mix a tasty mojito!
