109) The Garage 20-22 Highbury Corner, N5 Late night gig venue that doesn’t need any introduction. Some superb bands have played here.

108) Rollex Inn Club & Lounge 5 Station Place, N4 Bang opposite Finsbury Park station is this late night venue. Older fans will remember it as the Night Owl and even further back when it was a proper pub called The Silver Bullet.

107) Homeboy Bar 108 Essex Rd, N1 Late night Cocktail bar and DJ’s. Doesn’t open early enough for a weekend game. Has a Ghandi mural on the side wall so easy to find!

105) Highbury Library 66a Drayton Park, N5 Very close to the ground and next to the Drayton is this popular cafe/cocktail bar. Not the biggest but does have a garden. Also has Paulaner on tap so that’s a bonus. Small bites available and some vinyl on the turntable.

104) Rowans Tenpin 10 Stroud Green Rd, N4 If you fancy a game of pool or some bowling then this is the place for you and your pre match pint. To the left of Finsbury Park Station. Needless to say, it’s child friendly.

102) The Famous Cock-tail bar 259 Upper St, N1 Did you know that the Cock on Highbury Corner has another separate bar/cocktail bar in the basement? Named slightly different. Was once called Jam & Rye but recently changed.

101) Meltdown e-Sports Bar 342 Caledonian Rd, N1 If you fancy a bit of e-Sports to go along with your pre match pint then this is the place. London first dedicated e-sports bar.

100) Nambucca 596 Holloway Rd, N7 Closed and reopened many a time, once after a fire in ‘08 this is now a large popular live music venue and pub. Rumour has it, that this is the haunt of local legend, the famous Arsenal Albert!

97) The Alma 77-78 Chapel Market, N1 Recently reopen again but been serving the market for over 100 years. Craft & keg beers on offer. Definitely worth a visit and a pint.

95) The Tarmon 270 Caledonian Rd, N1 Old school boozer for locals. A cheap pint to wash down the pork scratchings. Was once called The Duke of Richmond.

94) The Thornhill Arms 148 Caledonian Rd, N1 Down towards KX but an Arsenal pub none the less. Classic old boozer definitely worth a visit. Mentioned in Louis Dunford’s The Angel. (From the Thornhill to the Hemmy).

93) The Crown 116 Cloudesley Rd, N1 Grade II listed building now a Fullers establishment. Delightful wooden & glass interior and an outside terrace.
