  “Lively pub in Kentish Town area. Lots of big screens for the football. Good beer but plastic glasses when the match is in.”

  “🚇 Tufnell Park 🍺 £5.70 Pravha This imposing late-Victorian corner pub is located at a busy five-road intersection in Tufnell Park, north London. The nearest Tube is Tufnell Park. There has been a pub on this site since 1860, originally called The Boston Arms Tavern. The grand Grade II-listed pub you see today was built in 1899 and was renamed The Boston Hotel at that time. Over time, it settled on The Boston Arms. Built in 1884 as a community center, the neighboring Dome and Boston Music Room survived a fire and served as a cinema, swimming pool, boxing hall, and dance venue before evolving into celebrated music spaces for both established and emerging artists. This is a traditional, good-sized pub whose interior is a little less grand than its exterior. The servery runs along the left-hand side, with high tables in the centre and banquette seating around the edges. The front area has a pool table and Chesterfields behind a partition, while the back offers another pool table, darts, table football, and fruit machines. There are plenty of Tv’s dotted about. The beer offering is entirely keg and features a who’s who of well-known tipples, alongside some independent brews. I decided on a Pravha; my pint was excellent, price point was pleasingly south of six quid. Food-wise, it’s Yard Sale Pizza that delivers to the pub. A new menu is coming soon. I arrived just after 12pm on a sunny Saturday lunchtime in April. The pub had just opened, with some local lads already in for an early pint. The atmosphere was relaxed, and I settled into one of the Chesterfields to watch the build-up to the Brentford v Fulham game. The service was pleasant, and the team on duty were friendly and welcoming. This was my second visit to The Boston Arms, and I must say I enjoyed both visits. Architecturally this is a stunning pub, the interior although not as grand was purposeful and well looked after. The price point was favourable and there is plenty on to keep you entertained. I would 100% recommend a visit. 📅 18th April 2026”

  “Avoid at all costs. The venue appears to have little regard for basic safety or licensing responsibilities. On multiple occasions, underage drinkers were openly being served alcohol, with security seemingly turning a blind eye to teenagers as young as 15 entering the premises. The atmosphere regularly deteriorates into disorder, with fights breaking out and continuing into the early hours of the morning. Security staff were either unwilling or unable to intervene effectively, creating an environment that feels unsafe for customers and local residents alike. The management seriously needs to address the issues surrounding underage drinking, crowd control and security before someone gets hurt. I would not recommend this venue to anyone.”

  “Good selection of beers on tap, especially the Jubel lager with peach. Two decent pool tables and screens visible from all seats if you're there to watch a match. Would recommend as a place to hang out before a gig and get some drinks in”

  “The Five-Star Experience 🥂 I cannot emphasize this enough: Thomas🐣 is the best bartender ever. In an industry where service can often feel transactional, Thomas brings a level of warmth that is truly rare. It is abundantly clear that he needs a pay raise immediately to match the incredible value he adds to the atmosphere. The way he engages with every guest is inspiring; all the love he gives to the people is unconditional. Whether the bar is empty or at capacity, he treats everyone like a VIP, making sure they feel seen and appreciated. Thomas, please keep on shining✨—the world needs more of that energy! On a side note, the vibes behind the bar are generally immaculate. Ziggy is very sexy as well, may I say, adding that extra bit of charm and visual appeal to the whole experience. If you’re looking for great drinks and even better company, this is the spot.”

  “First time being here. Loved they had the rugby playing. Atmosphere was loud lively but happy. Service was good and friendly. The only thing that disappointed was the food. Ordered the fish and chips. Fish was lovely and hot, Chips were just hitting luke warm. Could do with some better condiments as vinegar and sauces were served in small pots. Other than that. A good place to stop by for a drink.”

  “Typical British pub. Very nice atmosphere, we've had some good pints, a chicken burger and the traditional fish and chips and they both were amazing. The woman who's served our food, I think the chef, was very kind and welcoming. Thank you for the experience.”

  “Came in for some food, food was made by Henri can honestly say it was unreal and tasted amazing. A lot better than previous kitchen staff. Can honestly say Henri was the best! Also, was served by a young lad Tommy at the bar for drinks, he is extremely welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything and wasn’t In need of any other services during our visit. Would 100% recommend to go have food so you can taste how amazing the food is! You wouldn’t be disappointed ! Will deffo be returning!!”
