Those coming this way for the first time, perhaps on the W7 bus up Crouch Hill, might miss this little Irish pub beside a branch of NatWest. The Harringay Arms’ rather bland, un-publike façade hides a wood-panelled interior, an illusion of space created by judicious use of mirrors.

Like it and it’s ‘cosy’, dislike it and it’s ‘cramped’; still, the regulars are generally happy to move from their space at the bar should you wish to order.

Beers include Courage Best and Adnams Broadside, along with standard lagers, but they could sell washing-up liquid in pints and locals would continue to come here for a natter.

The history of the area can be studied in detail on a wall by the door, with maps and documents detailing old planning permission requests, while the back area acts as a wall of honour to Irish literature, with Behan, O’Brien, Yeats and others honoured in portrait form.

This pub used to be good but lately the beer tastes off. This would be a nice place to drink if they knew how to store beer properly. Over the past 6 months or so, the ale tastes watered down and off.

This pub was good around a year or so ago but the beer seems to get worse every time I visit the place. The ale tastes watered down and stale which is a shame as I used to like this pub a lot. There are much nicer places to go in Crouch End where they know how to keep beer properly.

Great pub under new ownership. It's like somebody finally switched the lights on for this lovely little boozer. Really nice 'feel' inside. Great mix of people - a pub to treasure.

Charming pub with loads of character and friendly staff. In a sea of usual "chain" bars this is possibly the best pub in Crouch End.

What a great old boozer. Possibly the best jukebox in London! Cheap too!
