About This Pub
You know, I've got to say, the Tollington Arms is one of those pubs that just pulls you in with its charm – it's right by the Emirates, so it's perfect if you're an Arsenal supporter looking to soak up that match-day energy or catch the game on one of their massive screens. The staff are an absolute delight, always ready with a smile and a chat, and the Thai food is a proper treat; I mean, who knew you'd find such tasty curries in a local pub? They've got a lovely outdoor space too, which is ideal for a sunny afternoon pint. On the flip side, it does get rammed during games, so if you're after a peaceful evening, you might want to steer clear then, and it's probably not the best if you're not into football. All in all, it's a cracking spot for a laugh with friends, balancing solid grub and drinks with that authentic pub feel, but just keep those busy times in mind for a smoother visit.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing, especially if you're an Arsenal fan – it's like being part of the team spirit without the ticket price.
-
The staff are so welcoming and friendly; they really make you feel at home, whether you're there for a quick drink or a full meal.
-
The Thai food is a real highlight – surprisingly authentic and delicious, with options like green curry that hit the spot every time.
-
It's got a fantastic outdoor area for enjoying a pint in the fresh air, complete with heaters for those chillier evenings.
-
Plenty of big screens showing all the major sports, making it a top spot for catching the game with mates over a cold lager or ale.
Cons
-
It can get overwhelmingly crowded on match days, turning what should be a relaxed visit into a bit of a squeeze.
-
If football isn't your thing, the focus on Arsenal might make it feel a tad one-sided and less appealing for a quiet night out.
-
There are a few minor niggles, like the ketchup not quite living up to expectations, though it's hardly a deal-breaker.

Amazing place after a game at the emirates or to watch The Arsenal on tv. The waiters are all very friendly
Good food is served as well
Traveled to London from Birmingham. Just watched two Arsenal games this week. Of course the CRAZIEST one against Real Madrid. The atmosphere was sick. People here were nice and chill. You can get some Thai food here. It’s really cool to support the team with other people here together. It’s such a special night to me as a first time to enjoin in this Arsenal pub.
Fantastic pub for Arsenal fans, from the light bright decor to the service of the 2 ladies behind the bar. Was busy yesterday for an away game and the sun was out so the atmosphere was great. They have a Thai kitchen round the back of the bar and the food looked excellent. They even let us have a couple of the arsenal tin cups simply because we asked. Would highly recommend, plenty of TV’s everywhere and plenty of seating too
Fabulous pub, fantastic Thai food cooked and served by a lovely guy, all the other staff are really friendly too and make you feel very welcome. Now my go to place when I’m down this way for work. I have a food allowance at a nearby hotel but I’d much rather spend my own money on food here as it is so good. I’m sure it would be even better if I was an Arsenal fan but as a Liverpool fan I’m still very happy frequenting this great pub.
Crazy busy on match days. Don't enter if you are not an Arsenal fan! Not so busy when I was there on a Tuesday afternoon. Surprisingly good Thai food is served here. I would come again for the Green Curry, the Red Curry and the Tom Yam. Quite authentic I must say. Terrible ketchup though!
