    Their stunning beer garden is one of a kind. Watch out for the elderly rasta gardener! Difficult to get a table on weekends and Arsenal match days, so get there early!

    Beautiful garden, go there when you can sit outside. Perfect meet up venue for friends and/or dates. Also, there is a cash only thai restaurant downstairs. looked delicious but did not try that one!

    Best beer garden I've ever been in, grab a pint of Swift and a packet of cashew nuts and you'll be in dream land.

    Great Irish pub, really big, bit of a maze and if you get stuck in the garden it's a bit a trek to the bar. But got some great character

    Amazing tree house style beer garden, great in summer heat and on cooler evenings. Thai food is pretty good too

    Sometimes rogue pizza delivery menus are available as an alternative to thai. Pizza delivered to your seat in the tree house beer garden - genius!

    Real atmosphere for rugby matches but absolutely packed to the point you can't move- get there very early or go somewhere else!

    Lauded by locals as the best in north London, this Irish establishment has a lot to shout about. The Faltering Fullback is a cosy, split-level affair with a range of decking and tables. Read more

    Pool table, hidden rooms, tree-house beer garden, everything covered in Ivy (the plant, not a sluttish bar maid). Could this be the perfect pub? It would be if they did some decent ales.

    You'd be lucky to get a seat in this somewhat cavernous yet super busy pub. Still pretty cozy though!

    There is a garden out the back. One of the best in London. No, really, it is there. Just past the pool table.

    The beer garden is decked out on many levels, making it a challenge to meet friends, but that's part of the charm.

    Get a good spot amongst the greenery in one of the treehouses and booze for hours when sunny. Get pizza delivered to your table. Thai food there is not great.
