The Alma Newington Green in Highbury

Movie themed pub with memorabilia and posters everywhere. Great service and a fun pub quiz on Sunday nights. There is an 'open jam' on Thursdays which is well attended by musicians and punters.

Amazing decor and vibe, which was very unique. Service was friendly, but rather slow (food took over an hour to come out and some of the orders were mixed up or slightly wrong. Waitress also kept trying to clear our table before our food had arrived). Food was a big serving but very average. The Yorkshire pudding was cold, dry and slightly burnt/overcooked. Vegetables were overcooked and soggy. We got the Christmas special for the roast, which we were told came with Brussel sprouts and stuffing. We were incredibly disappointed when the beef roast came and the stuffing was a tiny falafel sized dry ball (see yellow circle in photo) and there were no sprouts - but at this point we were so hungry that we gave up and ate. Mulled cider was both very sweet and very bitter (extremely strongly clove flavoured)

My favourite pub and my local also. Great food and atmosphere. Friendly staff and dog friendly also. Love watching football here with friends and a few beers. The Sunday Roasts are special.

Even after 5 years living in London, easily top 3 best pubs in the city for me. Selection of beers, service and awesomeness of décor inside are unmatched. Super chill place and perfect example of british pub. With a twist. I love this place so much.

🚇 Canonbury 🍺 £5.40 Becks Vier ❤️ A fantastic movie themed N1 boozer. . The Alma is located in Newington Green which is halfway between Highbury and Dalston. The nearest station is Canonbury which is a gentle five minute walk away. . The Alma was built mid 19th century along with the Victorian terrace it nestles in to. The exterior of the pub is simple but elegant, the paint is a deep blue and the orange awnings add a splash of colour. Inside, the decor here is a film buff’s dream. Around the walls are posters, neon signs and even life size models from the most famous films ever to grace the silver screen. You will find yourself gazing around the pub trying to name the films and actors. The bar area is in a “U” shape with lots of comfy low level seating including a couple of cinema seats. There is a large TV screen if you fancy catching a live premiere league game. . The beer line up has a bit of something for everyone but no cask options. I had a pint of Becks Vier which you don’t see too often, my pint was excellent and reasonably priced. The food menu is a mix of British classics and tasty pizza’s. On my first visit here, my Daughter and I took advantage of the 241 deal and we really enjoyed the food. If you visit on a Sunday then sumptuous roasts are the order of the day. The service was good, the lady who served me was lovely. . The atmosphere was relaxed and chilled on Saturday lunchtime with a few locals in attendance. While I was here I watched a bit of Leicester v Palace game along with a few others. This pub has lots going on to keep you entertained, throughout the month are live band’s nights, DJ sets and jam sessions, check out their Insta for updates. . @thealma_n1 is one of those pubs that you immediately feel welcome and at home in. The decor here is brilliant and creates an atmosphere of familiarity and intrigue. The beer and food are bang on and the entertainment will give you something to talk about the next day. This is a great pub for any occasion and a must visit, I’ll be back! 😎 . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 15/10/22
