    Best pub in Kentish Town - without a doubt. A little cramped perhaps, but easily compensated for by the warm atmosphere and outstanding cuisine. As Michelin Guide would say, it is well worth a detour. Vila!

    The Pineapple is one of my favourite pubs in London. Situated in one of the leafy streets of Kentish Town, the Pineapple is apparently the watering hole of many a musician and the roadies that carry their stuff. Homely, quirky, and fabulous, The Pineapple sports a rather great beer garden (yes, with heaters, and I believe most of it's covered too for those rainy days when smokers still need to relieve themselves of nicotine cravings). One of my favourite things about the Pineapple is the food. They have an amazing thai restaurant, meals all under a tenner, and they are brilliant. Oh and they have boardgames too. And the last Sunday afternoon somehow a whole platter of sausages, bread rolls and ketchup appeared on the bar for everyone to tuck into. The staff are super hot too. It's so super fabulous. I totally love this place.

    What a lovely, lovely pub. A couple of my neighbours told me that this is their favourite pub in the area, so we have been meaning to visit for a while. As everyone has already mentioned, it is a busy pub with a relaxed atmosphere on a residential street (between Kentish Town and Tufnell Park.) There is a large conservatory area in the back and plenty of space in the beer garden. They have a good selection of interesting beers and ales (and there was a 'cider pop up' in the corner when we were there last night.) While I was ordering, the bar man knew the order of a lady's husband better than she did, and he had a white wine ready for another man before he needed to ask for it...so it sounds like quite a few people come here a lot! Food: Everyone else that has reviewed the pineapple seems to rave about the food, so maybe I expected too much. I thought it was good, but not amazing... it isn't as good as the Thai restaurant around the corner. - The starters seemed like buy-them-frozen-and-stick-them-in-the-oven jobbies. Nice, but the same as you might buy from M&S and heat up at home. - The Pad Thai was just allright - The red curry was creamy and really good BUT it is cheap, and the portions are huge. If you don't expect anything gourmet, then it's not bad.

    Beautiful wallpaper abounds and the booths are comfy. The atrium out back is lovely as well. Very cozy place!

    Went for dinner and stayed for Quiz Night. Loads of fun with the locals! Good Thai food, smaller portions than we're accustomed to but plenty to eat and with one soup, one seafood fried rice, and a pad Thai, we left very satisfied. My fiancé enjoyed a local brew and I loved the ambiance. Hope to go back again before we leave town. It's located in a quiet neighborhood and we felt safe walking there and back to our rented flat in Camden.

    Great combination of beer and Thai food in a pub atmosphere. It's a little bit of a hike from the tube station but worth the walk

    Great atmosphere and reasonably priced Thai food. The conservatory is great too if it's not booked for an event.

    Highgate, Muswell Hill

    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.

    Fish & chips, one of the better ones. Good fry surface, good chips, fresh white fish, no grey bits,…read moreI like the sea salt on top. Was supposed to be minted peas, but was plain regular. Salmon on gnocchi was also good. Bit of a Gastro style pub. Not a cheap menu kind of pub. Nice patio. Handsanitizer was very sticky, like they had mixed it with honey. This is on the corner of Billionair's Avenue, where dictators do their real estate money laundering. I wonder if the House of Saud ever come here to eat fish & chips, because apparently they own 10 houses on the nearby exclusive avenue. The only thing I didn't like was that to use the bathroom you have to touch a rusty old dungeon lock key attached to a century old metal mug to open the door, because I guess we can't be trusted with an unlocked door that is locked from the inside. My Diet Coke wasn't very cold. But I had a nice time here and the service was friendly.

    The style of the Old White Lion is not really my taste. It has old fashioned furniture and art deco…read morelamps sort of 50's style. In fact it reminds me very much of an antique furniture shop. They have 3 ales on tap, no surprises though (fullers). Food is nothing special, the portions are abit skimpy but they do have a lot to choose from. You can get all the usual pub food here. They have a really nice beer garden though but again smokers ruin it when the pub is busy. All in all this place is not really my taste.
