About Highbury Barn
Bright, modern pub with a history going back to 1770, a British menu and Sunday lunches.
Originally a farm (this building?), becoming a tea garden in the 1850s and then a pub in 1861. Was Greenalls, S&N Retail, and finally a Spirit "City Pub" before being bought by a small pub company. Positioning itself as a community focused pub and clearly gets very busy on Arsenal match days when plastic drinking vessels may be used. The exterior has some fine tiling which extends in a most unusual way into an arch-like structure wrapped around the side of the pedestrian area in the side street where there are benches and people may smoke. Although it seems integral to the pub it is not owned by them. inside it is essentially one large room wrapped around an L-shaped bar with high tables and stools.

Very welcoming and cosy pub! Barman William was very professional and recommended some food dishes! Food was excellent and our doggie was very welcome as well! Highly recommend 👍🏻

I decided to watch the England finals there with my friends and it did not disappoint! The pub was packed with atmosphere and the bar staff were super friendly considering how busy it was! I met Tommy the manager who I could see was excellent at his job and making sure everyone was having a good time. We didn't even have to wait ages for our drinks like you would in such a busy bar other places! Charmaine was buzzing around making sure everyone was looked after and keeping the bar in order. Such a lovely girl! Ali and James have really looked after us too! Found us a little space on a table…

Looking for a spot for a fast lunch we found this pub. Really comfortable and cosy. Staff is very cool and friendly and is really nice. We ordered food and it came out quite delicious and light. Vegetables where good and well cooked as well as the pie. Also the presentation was nice. Great selection of draft beers. Nice place where to stop!

The staff are extremely polite (all of them), been to a few pubs where staff make you feel unwanted, definitely not here! Love it in there! Had a beautiful Prime Time lager, first time I’ve tried it, good to see a gluten free beer on tap! Gorgeous venue as well, cool outdoor bit, clearly looked after inside too. Be there again soon!

Went here for some drinks and something to eat. Really nice space. Charmaine looked after us and was really nice. I had the haddock and chips which was lovely and filling. Will look forward to coming back here again.
