The Three Wishes in Barnet

Ah, The Three Wishes – it's one of those neighbourhood spots that really grows on you if you're after a relaxed vibe and a bit of entertainment. From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this lovely friendly feel with staff and regulars who make you feel welcome, and the live music nights, especially the Monday open mic, sound like a proper treat for anyone who enjoys a singalong or a good chat over drinks. The prices are fair too, so you can enjoy a few rounds without worrying about the wallet. On the flip side, it's not all smooth sailing; there've been a couple of mentions about service being a tad slow or not as attentive, like when staff are caught up in their own thing, which might leave you waiting a bit longer than you'd like. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual night out, especially if you're local, but it's worth keeping in mind that it might not hit the mark every time – still, with that 4.1 rating, I'd say it's got more going for it than not!
