🚇 Finsbury Park 🍺 £5.80 Moretti ❤️ A preserved oldschool locals pub in Finsbury Park. . The Park Tavern is located on Tollington Park just off busy Stroud Green Road. The nearest tube station is Finsbury Park which is a ten minute stroll away. . This Victorian pub was built mid 19th century and was remodelled by Charringtons in the 1930’s, it has had a external paint job in recent years to spruce the place up a bit. . The decor here is simple with some outstanding pieces of pub architecture and design. This is a traditional Saloon & Public two bar pub which is a rare find as many breweries and pubco’s smashed the B’jasus and gutted the innards of some beautiful pubs losing vital pieces of heritage. The stand out feature for me is the Charringtons back bar which is truly unique and hopefully this is maintained. . The beer choice here is simple, I had a pint of Moretti which was great and under six quid. . My visit here didn’t start to well, I bowled in the front door and straight in to wake that was going on in the front bar. My Rodders moment over, I proceeded to the back bar to grab a pint. I was served by a lovely lady behind the bar who was cheery and had a lovely manner, I pulled up a pew to sit down and take stock of this N4 boozer. . This is a locals pub which has a relaxed laid back feel. As the wake continued in the front bar, the back bar had the horse racing on, a true measure of being in an Irish pub. This pub also shows live footy matches in both bars. There was lots of coming and going between bars and pretty much everybody knew everybody else, a true community pub. . The Park Tavern was a fantastic visit for many reasons. The oldschool ambiance took me back thirty years when going to the pub was almost mandatory. The Charringtons back bar was a thing of beauty and should be listed. And finally, the community spirit and local pub feel here is what makes this pub great. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 23/09/22
