About Lamb
Renovated pub with craft beers plus live Irish, bluegrass and new music from up-and-coming acts.
Three constantly rotating cask beers, typically a best bitter and a pale ale, alongside an amber, rye beer or porter from Redemption, Howling Hops, Dark Star, 5 Points, Thornbridge, etc. Plus 12 keg lines, 10 of which also feature local beers.
Music sessions every Tues (traditional Irish) and Sun (folk), with Blue Lion bluegrass session aprox every 4 weeks on a Wednesday. It has a beautiful interior with handsome wood panelling and skylights, as well as the painstakingly stripped back original green tiles on the facade. Food provided by Sorrento Pizzas.
Presented with a CAMRA Lockdown Hero Award in Sept 2021.
Highbury Brewery's tap, taken over by Taylor Walker in 1912. Allied until 1985, when it became the Flounder & Firkin. The Firkins were sold to Punch, under whom it was the Beer House from 2000, then the Tank (an Urban Bar) 2002-4.

Quirky pub. Stopped by with a buddy while visiting the area. It reminded me of my university students union more than anything else. Has a whole bunch of different areas to sit at. Eclectic items around the pub. Likely fun in the evenings as it looks like it hosts events for the locals - had a band or performance area near the front.

Only been on match days, but it's clearly a great pub. Friendly staff, brilliant range of well-kept beers (at very reasonable prices for the area) and a cracking atmosphere

My favourite post match boozer. Good atmosphere, friendly staff and good location for waiting for the tube queue to go down post game. Shame about the plastic cups but guessing that might be local legal requirement from council.
