Bull & Gate

- Most people (the host included) will have only visited this
pub because of the live music venue at the back. Many of the
bands from the late 70s/early 80s cut their teeth here (Madness
etc) so it's worth a visit for that reason if nothing else. The
pub part itself is a down-to-earth local Irish establishment
from an era when pubs were pubs; it is untouched by any of that
gastro nonsense.

O'Reilly's
59 Kentish Town Road, NW5 2JS
- This is what fancyapint.com said about this pub:
A decent Irish pub. It's had a standard
stripped out refit but the remaining glass and tile work leaves
plenty to admire. Elsewhere with the décor it's still
the early 90s and the Celtic Tiger- is in mid-roar, so plenty
of photos of Irish heroes of that age (eg Sinead O'Connor) but
none of anyone who's come to prominence since (eg er... Westlife).
Not as in your face as some Irish pubs in North London, so don't
come here expecting a full on Kilburn experience. But if a quieter
drink is your aim, then you won't go too far wrong here.

George IV
76 Willes Road, Kentish Town, NW5 3DL
- Fancyapint.com again:
The George IV is a fantastic proper
Victorian pub, just where you wouldn't expect one. Tucked off
Kentish Town High Road on the edge of an industrial estate, the
exterior is an ivy covered wonder, complete with charming globe
lamps inscribed with 'GR IV'. Inside is equally good, with pictures
covering every inch of the wall space and perfect lighting, which
included a lamp for every table. Nothing of note on the beer
taps, sadly, and the food seems pretty minimal, but the service
was as friendly as the locals who make up the clientele of this
strong community-led pub. If they could find themselves some
real ale and give the gents get a sprucing up, this is a definite
candidate for a four pint rating and proves that not every local's
pub is tired or unwelcoming.
