About This Pub

Ah, The Bohemia, it's one of those pubs that really lifts up the North Finchley area, don't you think? From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, it's all about that fresh, award-winning craft beer brewed right there on site – think IPAs, pale ales, and even gluten-free options that cater to all tastes. Pair that with their seasonal food menu, full of pub classics, sharing plates, and some brilliant vegan choices, and you've got a solid spot for everything from a quick midweek pint to a hearty Sunday roast. The staff are spot on too, always friendly and on the ball with service, even when things get lively. They've got regular events like live music and comedy nights that keep the energy up, plus a beer garden and screens for the big games, making it versatile for groups or solo visits. On the flip side, the playlist can be a bit hit or miss – it's not always the most uplifting, which might put a slight damper on the atmosphere if you're after something more upbeat. And, let's be honest, it does fill up quickly, so planning ahead is wise to snag a table. All in all, it's a gem with a few quirks, but I'd say it's well worth a visit for anyone wanting a proper, down-to-earth pub experience in London.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The beer selection is absolutely brilliant – they brew award-winning craft beers right on site, with options for everyone, including gluten-free choices, making it a real treat for beer enthusiasts.
  • The food is fresh and seasonal, from classic pub dishes to vegan small plates and those epic Sunday roasts; it's all cooked on-site with top-quality ingredients, and I've heard the Tempura Broccoli is a standout.
  • The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, perfect for a casual pint, a long lunch, or even private events in the basement – they've got a beer garden and big screens for sports, which adds to the fun.
  • Staff are always polite and friendly, with impressively quick service even when it's buzzing, which makes popping in for a drink or meal feel effortless.
  • They host regular events like live music, comedy, and Burger Mondays, so there's always something going on to keep things lively.
Cons
  • The playlist can be a bit of a letdown; it's not always uplifting, which might dampen the vibe for some folks looking for a more energetic atmosphere.
  • It does get quite busy, especially during events or peak times, so you might need to book a table in advance to avoid waiting around.
  • There's a touch of confusion with their connection to the London Brewing Company, which could make it tricky to find the right spot or understand the offerings at first glance.

I really like this pub. It elevates the area and is a very good place to spend an evening. Interesting selection of beers and wine and caters for gluten free drinkers like me. Staff always polite and friendly. I knocked a star of atmosphere because the playlist is pretty bad, pubs should play uplifting tunes, but owner seems to enjoy downbeat depressing songs that can grate at times. It would be 5 stars across the aboard if they started playing a few hammer tunes that could bring the punters joy.

Great craft beer place, including, at least, 4 cask ales (and several ciders but I don't drink those). Hard to distinguish between The Bohemia and the London Brewing Company - assume the same but they have separate entries (with different closing times) on Google, which was a bit confusing! Sat in the "beer garden" (out the back not the front) but looked nice enough inside too. Staff were friendly and helpful. Top quality place and worth the bus ride from Hendon.

Impromptu roast at The Bohemia. On entering the bar is clean, tidy, and well presented. We found a table and within minutes staff had greeted us and taken our drinks and meal orders. Drinks arrived quickly, and because the bar was busy and we had a short wait, when they brought our drinks, they gave us a cup of complimentary popcorn to keep us going! It's an absolutely brilliant idea! (The popcorn was lovely, by the way). Our Sunday roasts arrived quicker than we expected for a busy bar. I had the nut roast, and hubby had the slow braised beef... they were exceptional!! There is nothing i can fault or complain about. The roasties were crunchy on the outside, yet soft and fluffy in the middle. The veg was seasoned to perfection, and no word of a lie, the nut roast was the best i have ever had! And as for the Yorkshire pudding, well, it was huge but just melted as you ate it!! Throughout our meal, the staff were really attentive, they made sure we were happy with our food and had enough drinks to keep us going. We regularly find ourselves in North Finchley, but i have never ventured into The Bohemia.. that will definitely change from now onwards, and we will definitely be back for another roast!!

The Bohemia has a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with fast service and plenty of space—great for private events. I’ve visited a couple of times, and the staff have always been helpful. Service at the bar is impressively quick, even when it's busy. Both visits were for private events in the basement, which is easy to find and spacious enough for dancing or hosting gatherings. The venue overall is quite large, with lots of seating available. A standout detail is the clean and well-maintained toilets, which isn’t always expected in a bar setting. The only minor drawback is that the basement can get quite warm during the summer, so keep that in mind for larger events. Overall, a great spot for casual drinks or private events with a smooth and efficient experience!

Great selection of nice clean beer, brewed on site! Really tasty food with a few vegan options. Their Tempura Broccoli is something special. Definitely recommend you try this pub. They have a beer garden and large indoor screens for sports.
