The Horatia in Highbury

First time in London and had a great conversation with the 2 bartenders. Very welcoming and gave me and my son lots of information about the area and London and the football life in the area, like wearing enemy colors to the wrong bar😂

I had my 30th here and had an area reserved for 50 guests. I had a great time, and the staff were very helpful and accommodating. I would highly recommend booking your party here or even coming for with family or friends for a drink and something to eat. 100% reccomend Ollie

A fantastic local pub with a warm and welcoming atmosphere! The staff are always friendly, and the selection of drinks is top-notch, featuring a great range of beers and spirits. The food is delicious, with hearty portions that hit the spot. Whether you’re here for a quick pint or a meal with friends, this pub never disappoints. Highly recommended!”

🚇Highbury & Islington 🍺 £5.80 Romola Birra Di Roma ❤️ One of N7’s finest. . The Horatia is located at the bottom end of Holloway Road and is just a five minute stroll from Highbury & Islington station. . Formerly The Lord Nelson, The Horatia was built around 1860 and has seen its fair share of changes over the years. Holloway Road pubs were not always as welcoming as they are today, in 2010 this pub got its ducks in a row and has never looked back. . This is a spacious pub which still feels cosy and intimate. The decor here is traditional with a rustic edge. There are plenty places to sit, at the rear of the pub are chesterfields to lounge in, there are big and small tables to match your group size. Dotted around the pub are plenty of screens showing live sport, at the rear are a couple of Fussball tables and even an old school Nintendo if you fancy a game of street fighter. . The beer choice is excellent and has a mix of well known stalwarts plus diverse craft options for the inquisitive drinker, Hammerton and Magic Rock breweries are represented here. After an excellent consultation with The Guv’nor, I decided on a Romola Birra Di Roma which is a beer I’ve never come across before, Is was a very nice pint and average priced. The food here is East Asian inspired with Bao Buns, Gyoza and noodles. . I visited late afternoon on a Friday and the pub was quiet ahead of the evening’s trade. I had a good old chin-wag with the Guv’nor about the beer line up and the pub in general, what top top fella who is passionate about his pub. The Horatia has plenty to keep you entertained, there are quizzes and live music nights throughout the month. The pub gets packed to the rafters when The Arsenal are playing at home. . This is a pub I have visited many times on match days and I never saw the wood for the trees. Now I’ve visited @thehoratia on a regular day, I have to say I’m super impressed. This is a versatile boozer with so many strings to it’s bow, I will definitely be returning to this first class public house. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 11/11/22

Good selection of beers, but interior is quite old fashioned especially ceiling. Friendly staff and looks family friendly. Fresh air without smell of old beer.
