The Bedford Tavern in Islington

Excellent pub for pre match beers. I love their selection of local/craft beers.

Had a DELICIOUS pizza today with my friends

The literal only place in London to get authentic New Haven style apizza. Crisp ain't got s***. Let's hope the message gets out: we want more than just neapolitan.

A slice of New Haven in N7. Beautiful tomato based pizza pies which brings the taste of America to north London.

Lovely pub. Went to try Lenny's Apizza which was tremendous - give it a go! The pub was great too, with a friendly barman and Madri at just £5.40 a pint.

Lovely, friendly local pub with a good selection of beers and kind staff!

Best place in every way. Thank you for everything. 🙏

Unfortunately, this place is just a shadow of its former self. There is no food, I think the pictures found on Google could have been taken in the pub's heyday. The place is quite shabby, the furniture is old and torn. The equipment is neglected. At least the beer was delicious, although there is not as much variety as in most English pubs and you can hardly get local beer either. I prefer Czech and Spanish beers. Incomprehensible.

Food as "Neutral" as none on offer and needed to fill in "review"

Charming, spacious local in the odd liminal area between Holloway and Funsbury Park. Excellent tap selection (inc. Leffe), some outside seating, friendly staff, and a good music selection all stand out. Like Hana Sushi next door, a hidden gem!

Nice local boozer with a lovely owner

The greatest pub in north london by far!

Good pub if your a arsenal fan. Great atmosphere

Food was great just took a while to get there 45 minutes wait but staff had prewarned me so it's fine

Lovely boozer with good range of beers.

I Went to Bedford for a Brazilian worker's party private... party! The beer was cold and the place was cozy. The service was nice and quick. The girls were kind and attentive. I'm not a beer expert but I'm quite sure that they had a good selection. The place was nice, especially because it was not too crowded and there was a live samba concert

Great place to have fun. The staff it is very nice

Love this place always busy before and after a game

Relaxed pub with a great beer and spirits selection! Lovely music and vibes. We're regulars. We've been back and never lets you down!

Cracking pint of Guinness, Friendly staff. Top boozer

Attentive Barman with pride . Very relaxing place to be ...

Great burger and 🍺, always a friendly face to help and great pub to be in

Great friendly atmosphere for post football games

A food selection of beers, amazingly friendly staff and owners. Ran as a free house, they can bring in delightful variations of drink and shift to meet our qualified customer preferences. The owner is frequently in staff and worth your time.

Nice pub, nice staff, nice beers. Leffe on draft !

Nice pub good selection of craft ale but a bit expensive. Limited food available

A Friday night crowd of mostly young and local drinkers. Wide selection of craft lagers on top. Bare brick, low level lighting and shabby-chic leather sofas. Not sure about the pricing, a pint of bitter, a pint of lager and a medium glass of house red wine seemed to be £14, which is almost a bargain these days!

Good service and good ambience .

Delicious food. Lovely pint. Sports on. What's not to love

I am updating prev unfavourable review. This place is great in 2021. Hope it stays open Good beers. Relaxed seating environment. Cool staff - cool but also warm! Nice leafy outlook from Windows. Off the beaten track. Mostly locals.

Great venue, fantastic atmosphere, and great selection of beers. Would visit everyday if I could.

Top local, delicious beers, friendly atmosphere & great management - not tried the food but it looks amazing

Great location excellent beer friendly service

Friendly staff, good location for catch up with friends & drink prices are really good.

A great proper pub. The staff are really friendly and wide selection of drinks. Would definitely recommend for a drink with friends.

Good pub, good drinks and good service.

Really nice pub located on seven sisters road (taking social distancing very seriously and trying their best to keep us all safe!). A decent selection of beers on, and very knowledgeable staff who are also friendly and welcoming to boot. Kitchen isn't open at the moment but they're happy for you to order in if you ask them. Very comfortable, shows the football, well decorated - all in all a decent new local for me!

Wonderful staff and a great establishment

Excellent selection of ales, and very friendly staff.

Busy. Great meeting drinking eating venue.

Cosy pub with good selection of beers.

Really nice and chilled atmosphere. Me and my friends always have a good time.

Really nice place, just had a drink.

Quando do tinha música a vivo, country music. A cerveja é muito boa e o hambúrguer bem suculento. Gostei do lugar.

Nice place, friendly service, delicious burgers and various beers. Great pub!

Only drank a couple of pints here. Good selection of beers. Ambience and environment felt clean. Staff friendly and accomodating.

Nice atmosphere , different age range, enjoyed it

An excellent staff who are very knowledgeable of their stock and accommodating to customer. Also, lots of love music. Worth a look!

A patron homophobically abused my friend here and the bartender refused to remove the perpetrator from the premises, then told us to calm down, to leave, and that we were overreacting when we complained.

Great local for after work, very cosy and staff are super nice!

Great rotating craft beer selections with some classic standards on draught too. Their burgers are also delicious. And they have board games. And couches. And outdoor seating.

Awesome place with an awesome landlord... Do it!

The most amazing halomi burger I have ever had. Cannot recommend enough

Ottimo lo consiglio a tutti sono capitato nel periodo dell offerta 10poud birra e hamburger........ hamburger spettacolare

Great local, lucky to have it, hope it never goes. Gem of Finsbury Park!

Great pub. Great beer. Great food. Great music. Great staff.

I really loved this place. It gives you a nice feeling. I love the design, the food is delicious, the staff is nice and chatty. They have a very good service. I've found it interesting to see that they actually have board games. You can go there for a drink, play some games and even eat. Lovely place!

went in by chance..decent pub..would go back..relaxed set up

Can the owner is super friendly and knowledgeable on craft beer. The food is good too — the burgers are awesome with veggie options available and go great with the truffle cheese fries. There is a plan to add a vegan burger as well. It's a cool bar with a welcoming local vibe. Probably Finsbury Park's best-kept secret.

You can't have more from a local pub: nice staff, great selection of beers and superb atmosphere

Great Craft Beer and pub food in a warm quirky pub

Lovely alternative pub great music and some wacky beers

Great atmosphere and a great pub to spend time with friends and family !!!!

First time I have been in there so very friendly in there

Great place to sit and have a laugh

Great pub with fine selection of beer and wine

Good service here and nice seats. Looks like a good range if you are a more adventurous drinker than me...

The team at The Bedford Tavern are always welcoming and the location is great. It has couches if you want to lounge or normal tables. The food is very tasty and there is a good selection of ales. Thy sometimes have live music as well which is a nice addition. The pub attracts a nice crowd and we have never seen any trouble. A nice place to catch up with friend and there are benches out the front for the sun.

Excellent fun place to hang out

Great little pub with treacherous stairs to the loo :-D The food is usually delicious, and the beer selection is excellent... The burgers might not look like much, but they are consistently tasty...

Great pub with exposed brick walls and great rotating beer selection from smaller and larger breweries. Very tasty burger menu too!

OK place to have a beer. Friendly staff

I don't live in Finsbury Park anymore but I when I do go back I do find myself in this awesome place of a pub! I love the selection of beers on tap and in the fridge. That with the great decor and mood this place is a great space to meet friends or sit at the bar and chat to the landlord John. A man that is passionate about his drink and has a story about the beers he sells. This is Finsbury Park in a pint! Cheers!

Great selection of beers and ales, comfy sofas, and v friendly staff.

Nice place, the people working there are amazing, few drafts, but with nice beavertown beers.

Nice and cozy with a good selection of beers.

Very Friendly Staff, Very Welcoming

Very nice. Wasn't even aware of this place until went there with a mate. Nice pint too.

Nice local pub on Seven Sisters Rd

Flat beer , over the top prices. Stay away

Rude staff, stale beer, very disappointing

Warm and cosy pub that serves food and craft beers, run by friendly and professional staff. Close to the Emirates Stadium, so good for a match day pint.

Friendly bar staff and a welcoming atmosphere, it also has a good selection of beers.

Great food, really nice atmosphere and lovely bar staff

Decent beers, friendly staff, great tunes.

Nice, relaxed place with good beers and decent prices. Good food too.

Great beer selection, odd shape inside. Atmosphere suffers because of strange layout

A secret hidden gem for those in the know, nice chilled vibe perfect for catching up with friends. Love the food, the drink selection, their unique but classy shots and most of all the amazing staff that go above and beyond.

The Bedford is the one! Such a nice vibe. The staff are amazing and there’s a proper cosy atmosphere. The owner knows a lot about his stock and has introduced me to some wicked new drinks - try Dead Mans Finger or their house shot Pink Floyd. Great beers on tap and the food is also top notch. Deep fried macaroni and halloumi burger trust me. I highly recommend this place. You’ll always find me and my mates on the back sofa so come say hi! 🤙😜

One of the few locals left in the area - the Bedford has been the Base of many a fun night. Also ask them about the whiskey cider!

Great pub, family owned, nice choice of alcohol and great burgers. Really friendly staff too

Love this joint. It has played a huge part in helping a special group of friends come together. Big cosy leather sofas, crispy sweet potato fries, a wide selection of new liquors and a very sound owner. The home of seven sisters! Xx

Hip bar. Good selection of beers and great burgers. Gets crowded on match days.

Cozy place for friends and meeting new people!

Excellent local craft ales and decent burgers. Sometimes there's a jazz band playing, if that's your thing.

Best bar in Finsbury Park hands down. Jeremy Corbyns local

Friendly and cosy pub with a good choice of beers on tap.

Good boozer close to the Emirates. Great choice of beers and the odd live music night

It's just a great and friendly place!!

Amazing hidden gem. Legendary landlord, amazing selection of craft beers, and the burgers there are outrageous. If you haven't been yet, go!
