    Excellent place for Gooners: proximate to the Stadium, great service. From the US, used to paying much more for a beverages so, pretty affordable. A plus, got to pet a cute dog that ran in front the garden area. Will probably go back, tomorrow, honestly, for the game ...What do you think about Tottenham?

    Came here after a beautiful 1-0 win over Man City. Vibes were immaculate; tons of supporters singing all the songs, the burger and fries were good and the gunner lager was great. Also, Albert at the bar was incredible, friendly and made us a bunch of great cocktails.

    No trip to London is complete for me without a customary visit to The Gunners pub. I remember the first time I visited - starry eyed Arsenal fan living abroad for the first time, somehow found my way to the pub on an afternoon off season. One of the owners asked me about where I was from, and was so excited to hear I’d come all the way from India (where I lived then), that he gifted me a signed autobiographies of an arsenal legend and a free drink. I’ve been to the pub at least a couple dozen times since then (whenever I travel through London) and always make it a point to visit the pub. The atmosphere is unrivalled, especially on match days - pre, during and post game. Can’t promote them enough. Must visit 🙂

    Neighbourhood Arsenal pub with fairly priced drinks, dog-friendly, cute but basic beer garden, tables in front along the sidewalk so perfect for people watching, and sometimes there's live music. The owners are pretty great too!☺️ Love, Sis 💕 #FreakFreely

    The Gunners 📍 204 Blackstock Rd, Highbury, London N5 1EN 🚇 Arsenal 🍺 £4.50 San Miguel Arteta ❤️ Well its cup final day today so I though I’d share my post of The Gunners Pub. I have a very close association with this pub, not just as an Arsenal fan but because my Dad and my Godmother both worked here back in the early 70’s. Obviously this is a football pub but it also caters for the local community all year round. This visit was a couple of years ago for a match against Everton and part of a crawl from Finsbury Park to the Emirates. On match days the pub is for Arsenal fans only and usually packed to the gills. On entry you’re immediately hit by a wall of noise and buzzy atmosphere, as well as hearing many different accents and languages from supporters making their pilgrimage from all around the world. The pub is plastered with memorabilia of where you can find some great memories of Arsenal’s history. The bar area as you can imagine gets very busy but you don’t normally have to wait to long as the staff are always on it. If its too packed inside you can always decamp to the fair sized garden out the back. I have also visited on non match days where it’s more relaxed, you can have a game of pool, table tennis or enjoy some live music. . This boozer holds a dear place in my heart for family and football reasons but if you’re not an Arsenal fan or even a football fan, there is still has plenty on offer to enjoy a visit here. . 📊 Information correct on visiting 03/02/18 .

    We were expecting an all out sports pub but there it has more of the old obsessive fan feel than mashed up lads- although I expect its v busy on match day. We were treated to an amazing show by two bands, one called Tiger Moth. Great gig.

    Great match day pub. Plenty of space friendly staff and a great smoking arewith tvs and outdoor bars. Defo recommend

  • 3/5 Max L. 3 months ago on Google • 17 reviews New
    Arsenal themed pub, a decent option for game day. The pub is cheap and cheerful in terms of decor but a small cup of tea was £2.50, the food looked very average (we didn't eat so can't verify the quality) and the pints were expensive. It was also extremely cold in the pub and had the feel of a town hall. Imagine on home match days the atmosphere is excellent, but the away game we went to watch was a bit flat.

    We always come to this fantastic pub after every game! Great atmosphere and last week was superb! The staff are so lovely! A big shout out to brody (brodie) not 100% on how they exactly spell their name but they was so unbelievably nice! We bonded over david bowie and they played a song that I have never heard before which we haven’t stopped playing since in our house! They was absolutely fabulous and just so lovely they need a payrise! It’s very rare that you go to a pub especially a footie one and you get staff like that who truly enjoy the atmosphere as much as you do! I left feeling like I had been given the best customer service ever!! Unreal!

  • 4/5 Mark D. 2 years ago on Google
    Newly reopened and refurbished famous corner pub. Live jazz and folk music a feature on Wednesday and Thursday nights from 8pm. Good atmosphere with mixed age crowd following the music and not chatting over it. Nice bar staff, but toilets not checked. M.

  • 5/5 Fitsum T. 4 years ago on Google
    Amazing will be an understatement! Truly a gunners pub!

  • 5/5 ruby s. 3 years ago on Google
    To the guy that could be bothered to write a review about the cold water tap in the toilet and a broken hand dryer. I hope you never come back to the Gunners. It must be exhausting for your friends......... This is the best pub!

  • 5/5 Ólafur B. 4 years ago on Google
    A must visit before matches. A pub with a long history and some great decoration.

  • 4/5 Joao M. 1 year ago on Google
    Smells like wet socks, but not sure there's any better place to watch arsenal matches

  • 5/5 Sofia S. 1 year ago on Google
    Apart from us losing to spurs, the gunners pub is always the place to be! Lovely staff and good beer 🍺

  • 4/5 Diego J. R. 6 years ago on Google
    Had a great experience watching Arsenal v Chelsea there! Met a guy named Mark and he gave us a personalized tour of the place and made us feel at home, recommend walking around the stadium pre match then walking over to watch a game here on the weekend! (If you can't get tickets to the Emirates Stadium of course) Not many food options other than the hot dog stand in the patio.

    Great music venue in this arsenal mad pub. Very uniquely presented football memorabilia everywhere including the ceiling. Parking is very possible in surrounding streets

  • 5/5 Packer 2. 4 years ago on Google
    What a great atmosphere!!! One of the best places to watch a match if you can't go live. Great drinks and vibes. Must stop while in North London.

  • 3/5 Yu-An Pai (. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere if you’re an Arsenal fan, but never get the jager bomb shots they try to sell you. Lady charged us for a shot she drank herself and we didn’t even agree to pay for it. Ruined my mood for the afternoon🤨

  • 5/5 Suyash B. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice pub with big terrace showing arsenal games

  • 3/5 Mankin L. 1 year ago on Google
    Becareful don’t accidentally pick up the shot that causes you 5 pounds. The place and TVs are small but the atmosphere is good.

  • 5/5 Shaun H. 2 years ago on Google
    Memorable pub, iconic for Arsenal fans! Good service and they didn't charge me for my soft drink as a newbie, always has something happening (DJ set), nice outdoor area too.

    Canadian travelling to Arsenal for the first time and this was a fantastic spot for the Gunners game. Staff is exceptional, food is great and the beer is cold. The atmosphere is top notch during the game!
