T-Bird Cocktail Bar in Highbury

Ah, T-Bird Cocktail Bar – it's one of those neighbourhood gems in Finsbury Park that just feels like a proper local haunt, you know? From the reviews, it sounds like they really nail the drinks side of things, with a cracking selection of cocktails, craft beers, and spirits that folks rave about, and it's all at a moderate price that won't break the bank. I love how it's got that friendly, welcoming feel, where you can pop in for a chat and maybe even catch one of their famous Friday comedy shows – it's been running for years and brings in some talented acts, which adds a real buzz to the place. The jukebox is another highlight, stuffed with classic albums that set just the right mood for a cosy evening with mates. On the downside, though, there was that one review mentioning some dodgy pints, which is a bit of a shame when the bar's otherwise got such high praise – it might just be an off night, but it's worth keeping in mind if you're after something reliable. Plus, with it only opening from Tuesday to Saturday and closing relatively early, it could limit your options for a quick drink. Overall, it's a solid choice for a relaxed night out, especially if you're in the area, but I'd say go in with realistic expectations and you'll likely have a great time.
