tell me of Tottenham

[Stig]

i have now been to the Elbow Room. totally awesome, it is just like eastenders, i noticed in pubs in tottenham peopel just start talking to yuo and before you know it you are being introduced to the landlord and stuff

Excellent! Very pleased you liked it.

We could have a mini meetup in there one day, with Belushi & my friend who told me about it, and some other people off twitter who live locally.

 

[Belushi]

Now we have Badgers temporarily working among us we need to welcome him to the neighbourhood, anyone up for an after work pint at some point?

My nearest pub is The Coach & Horses, 862 High Road, N17 0EY but it does not like our kinda place

 

[Thraex]

Brrrrr, not been in the Coach and Horses or the Elbow Room - went into The Ship once when the bus was stuck in traffic...feckin' horrible place

Horses for Courses though, isn't it? I'm, hopefully, getting out of the area (work nearby, don't live there) very soon.

Elbow room is good as mentioned above. well i've only been in twice. been in the Victoria twice too, it is one of those irish pubs where it is very bright and they have the TV on showing the Bake Off or whatever is on. + it isn't cheap. I have been in the pride of tottenham once, had quite a good time but we shouldn't go in there.

i'd go for the elbow room really after my limited research.

coach and horse is more edmonton tho.i hear there is a wetherspoons around there, Gilpins Bell.

 

[Belushi]

Elbow Room sounds okay, though I'm intrigued by this

(edit: i'm talking about pride of tottenham) it's not that interesting, just the landlord is a bit unwelcoming.... well you shouldn't complain about the price of the drinks to him anyway. there is now a sign outside that says "DRINKS ARE LOW PRICES TO DISENCOURAGE STREET DRINKING AND ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR" and loads of signs saying "LIVE BANDS FRIDAYS OPEN TIL 4AM" etc but its all lies.

Yes we're definitely up for drinks, not in the next couple of days though as we're still in San Francisco. Elbow room, or as mentioned the spoons in Edmonton, either would be OK. I'm struggling to think of anywhere else TBH.

you can get an ale in the elbow room for £2.05. It looked and tasted like canal water though.

One of the best football teams in Europe is in Tottenham.

More likely to be from the River Moselle

I grew up in Tottenham. While I did wander back after a skinful at all hours, I don't think I would anymore. The areas around Seven Sisters and Turnpike Lane always felt pretty dodgy.

I feel absolutely fine around Turnpike Lane these days. Seven Sisters is still pretty shabby though.

 

[rutabowa]

not dangerous, just quite bleak and depressing, is my opinion of the area as a whole.

Bit previous there, innit. You won't be able to say that until 15 March next year.

Popped in there today for a lunch time half and it is not bad. Pretty standard Spoons set up with a pretty decent garden out back. The girls serving asked me if 'men hated commitment'

The daily food special looked interesting
