Great place. I'll never forget the night I ended up buying 15 tequlia shots and shared with people I met that night. Awesome atmosphere and great memories. Nice staff and manager :) great local

Eddie Sharkey

It's like suddenly being in an NYC dive bar ! Love this place. Great music , pool tables and good food. They do live shows here also

A good starting point for drunken adventures / clubbing in north London. Poor beer selection and a shame about the rampant sexism common to many rock bars , but it is a fun, buzzing place.

Cheese and bacon burger is good and juicy. Maybe specify how you want it cooked to be sure. My other tip is to actually visit this pub . It made me feel young! Hadn't been since being student.

Thrash Hits

This is the best American-style rock bar in London plus the food is awesome, meaty and in healthy portions. They added pool tables and hot barmaids for good measure. Try the nachos .

Friendly staff , great atmosphere, cosy enough to chat and loud enough to dance . can't go wrong with a night at Big Red!

Emily Skarbek

The wings are tasty and a great deal. With bourbon , beer , and pinball - can't go wrong

Andrea Lazzarini

Very nice pub that plays rock music . A friend told me that they use to have live music events

Joseph Smith

One of the only bars I know that'll play "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd all the way through. That alone qualifies as "best bar " status.

Simone Roper

Great bar with plenty of pool tables at the back to have some fun on!

Ollie Chapman

Great bar - surprisingly cheap and amazing music !

Daniel Petroff

No more Heiniken but more Czech beers (Kozel is now also available). Music is not bad, have pool tables and foozball!

Chilli cheese fries are spicy hot. Amazing taste. Def recommend at all costs

Used to enjoy this place before the manager acted like judge, jury & executioner to his punters. Thank goodness for Filthys down the road !
