The Metro
295 Holloway Road
London
N7 8HS
It's clean, has "...a few couches and other modernist touches...", and most importantly, it's next to the tube station. |

The George
9 Eden Grove
London N7 8EE
One of the few traditional pubs left in the area. Normally has four ales on tap. Has a free juke box as well! |

El Comandante
10 Annette Road
N7 6ET
A tiny place and run by a South American family (who have put Che Guavara posters everywhere). It will probably be quite busy by the time we get there but hopefully there will still be room for us.

Big Red
385 Holloway Road
London N7 0RY
Fancyapint.com have this as their favourite in the area: it's a dimly lit rock/goth/metal establishment with some pool tables at the back. It's a bit of a surprise to find that the food is very good. |

The Swimmer at the Grafton Arms
13 Eburne Road
London N7 6AR
Gastropub that's more pub than gastro (and the food is best avoided by all accounts). Apart from that, it's a top notch place. The only problem is that it's very popular. If it's really too busy to get into, we'll go onto the next pub, then come back here to see if it's thinned out a bit.

The Hercules
504 Holloway Road
London N7 6JA
Honest, down-to-earth, unpretentious place and decently sized. After this we head back toward the tube station.

The Coronet
338-346 Holloway Road
London N7 6NJ
It used to be a cinema and now it's an awesomely sized Wetherspoons. Head to the back of it to appreciate the old cinema fittings and to avoid the depressing central/bar area. Closes at 1am.
