my best bar ever nowhere in london does it like this bar great southern and classic rock cool bartenders with no attitude just help you get drunk, please keep it up

This must be the best pub on the Holloway Rd. Very rock and roll with a distinctive American feel to it. Great jukebox and pool table. Late licence, easy going, perfect for hanging out with friends or having birthday drinks. Very friendly atmosphere too, one of those places where one could go alone without feeling like Billy No Mates. Burgers are supposed to be delicious although I’ve yet to try them.

Big Red on Holloway Road qualifies as the last true Rock’n’Roll place in London’s northeast and is more exciting than anything that might be on at around the corner Odeon.

Being one of the only pubs in the area with a late license this is the melting pot of all party-people, students and other freaks, so people watching is highly recommended. Bar staff is leading the way with an estimated 5 square foot of compulsory tatooed skin and piercings at visible and (supposingly) hidden places.

Besides enough seating, some cosy niches and hot food, there is billiards, foosball and pinball available. And most importantly a long bar to grab hold of in case you miscounted your drinks again while singing all the old indie and hard rock classics from the jukebox.
P.S.: Bus drivers on the N29 are great in gently waking you up at Wood Green, if you have missed your stop again.

Big Red is most likely the most authentic rock bar in London. The employees and the guests together create a sometimes intimidating, but always rock’y feel to the place.

Their food might not be absolutely awesome, but with a nice pint and some rock’n’roll on the speakers, the food sure tastes delicious.

Very popular during the weekends, really alternative, retro atmosphere, with a great jukebox selection, and dim ambient lighting. They also do food, but it's pretty much totally burger based, so not a very good selection. There's a big bar, as well as comfy booths, and the interior has really mad decor all over the place, including an old school pinball machine. Plenty to keep you entertained here, four pool tables and a big screen for football viewings. Gets really busy in the evenings, really social atmosphere.
