Quick info
About The Gunners Pub
The Gunners Pub is an Arsenal supporters' pub at 204 Blackstock Rd in London, with Arsenal FC memorabilia on display and several TV screens for watching games. On match days a badge seller works the pub, and supporters watch matches here before heading to the Emirates. A stage and sound system give the pub space for DJs, and a selection of beers is on offer. Food comes from a small side window, with a limited menu on game days. Match days can leave the pub crowded. It opens Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays. The venue can also be hired for private parties.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers return to The Gunners Pub for the matchday atmosphere, describing a packed back patio and interior with fans singing and chanting before Arsenal games and for major matches like the World Cup Final. Close behind is the beer, with several praising the selection and one calling the drinks affordable. Screens throughout let fans follow games, and one reviewer notes the stage and music. Staff earn praise for hospitality even when busy, and one reviewer credits the head of security for looking after older supporters. The food draws mixed reports: one calls it outstanding and another picked some up from the small side window, while two say the crowds or a limited menu on game day meant little or no food. One reviewer was upset at being turned away under a new over-23 age rule after seeing 18 on the website. Another group hired the venue for a birthday party, where guests praised the sound system and plenty of space. Reviewers also mention petting a dog in the garden and snagging a badge from the badge guy.

“Watched the World Cup Final here yesterday, and the atmosphere was incredible. The place was absolutely packed long before kick-off, with fans from both sides creating a brilliant buzz throughout the match. Great selection of beers, friendly staff despite how busy it was, and plenty of screens so you never missed a moment. If you're looking for a proper football pub with an electric atmosphere for major matches, The Gunners Pub is definitely the place to be.”

“Great place to watch the earlier match, grab a couple pints & food before heading to The Emirates. You always have to snag a badge from the badge guy. N5 gem.”

“Due to a change of management is not fair because I want to watch the arsenal game I’m not there to cause trouble all I want is to spend some time with my mates and watch my team win the champions league but I can’t go cause I’ve got to be over 23 despite the fact they had changed their mind it was 18 when I looked on the Website. I’ve been to that pub before to the most of the North London derby the 5-1 game against Man City it is unfair cause I travel from Peckham south London to the gunners pub North London to watch my beloved team. Don’t get me wrong The atmosphere is incredible”
