The Army & Navy in Highbury

Lonely place for a lovely day for some absolutely creaming creamers

Great place to watch the match, beer garden is lovely in the sunshine, Murphy’s and Guinness on tap at amazing prices! James (owner) is absolute gent, staff are very friendly.

This truly is the best pub in London. Been going for years. Just had my bday there and Jimmy was so accommodating and the Atmos was amazing. Big shout to Michelle behind the bar. The beer is good, they sell Taytos and it's a real neighbourhood pub. Old school, has an individual feel too it.

🚇 Dalston Kingsland 🍺 £5.50 Amstel ❤️ One of the best pubs in London. . I have visited The Army & Navy a few times over the years, usually on my way to see The Arsenal. My last visit was on St Patrick’s Day back in March this year. Getting here is easy, Dalston Kingsland station is a just five minute walk away. . This pub was built in the 1930’s by AE Sewell who was Truman Breweries principal architect. The pub retains many original features, is Grade II listed and is designed in a Neo Georgian style. . The decor oozes oldschool charm and the environment is welcoming and comfortable. There is a proper pub carpet, a good size bar, velour banquette bench seating, a dart board and for good measure, throw in a few TV’s showing live sport. One of the best features of this pub is the massive beer garden. There are loads of covered booths, TV’s showing live sport and also a new addition is the outdoor bar. . The beer selection is straight up reasonably priced keg options, there are a few craft beers available and the Guinness is well celebrated. The pub has recently teamed up with pizza gurus @yardsalepizza , so now you can have pizza delivered to the pub. . The atmosphere here is always warm and friendly, the pub attracts a broad crowd from all walks of life rather than just one demographic. This is down to Jimmy the Guv’nor who has been at the helm for the past 26 years and looks after his punters one and all. Jimmy gave me a tour of the pub and was telling me about how much work had gone in to the beer garden, which looks great. . The Army & Navy is one of my favourite pubs in London as it ticks so many boxes. There is the architectural heritage, old school decor, reasonably priced beer, a superb beer garden, welcoming atmosphere and the nicest Guv’nor you’ll ever meet. If you’ve not visited yet and want to experience how a pub should be, then put The Army & Navy at the top of your must visit pub list. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 17.03.23
