The Bohemia

Meh. As a gastro pub this place is not so exciting. Our roast lamb was rare even though my wife was assured they serve it well done and my roast was very fatty and also rare. Yorkshire pudding looked awesome but was dry and crusty. The atmosphere and beer was okay though.

This is a nice local pub with a lovely atmosphere, more sophisticated than your average pub as it brews its own beer. I visited at 7pm on a Sunday and it was relatively quiet though most tables were occupied. There is a downstairs area with table tennis and additional seating however it lacks atmosphere as it is essentially in a basement with no windows. For drinks, my friend and I had wine as we are not big beer drinkers which were reasonably priced. As we were peckish we shared a large portion of spicy chicken wings which were to die for! They were well presented and came with a garlic dip.
The staff were friendly and came over to check if everything was alright.
Had a nice, relaxing evening and will definitely be coming back

Initially, a welcome contrast from the Wetherspoon style dives in N12, with decent craft beers and passable pub gastronomy.
However on weekends, this place seems to turn into a chavtastic underage meat market complete with authentic rude staff & plebeian bouncers.
Refurb or not — once a shithole, always a shithole.

This local brew pub reopened in Finchley this summer, and already the place is packed on the weekends. The interior reminds me a lot of American brew pubs. Spacious, a slightly industrial look, large, rectangular open space, and brewing equipment in the back. There’s an additional space in the basement, which I wouldn’t recommend. It’s a little lackluster and unfinished looking, not much atmosphere. Stick to the upstairs, and especially the comfy leather couches.
There’s a photo booth for entertainment (warning: they and the photobooth company retain copies of all photos for promotional use). As far as dining options go, they’ve got a good pub menu, with beer can chicken, sandwiches, cheddar-​ale soup, sausage rolls, and wings. I was here very late at night, so I didn’t get a chance to try the food, but we did have a nice bowl of nuts that tasted like it was home-​roasted with sugar and spices.

This is the best pub in North Finchley by a country mile! Okay, it is quite expensive compared to the other pubs in the area, but that also means you don’t get harangued by random people and you are left to enjoy your drinks and/​or food in peace. The selection of draughts is impressive as is the wine. Food is top for a gastro pub. Atmosphere is great there. I’ve been with the girls for wine and with business clients for a catch up and it was suitable for both. The team there are an absolute credit and they can’t do enough to help you without being over bearing. Always ready with a smile. I look forward to going back there time and time again. The whole place is just somewhere you want to be and quite often one drink turns to many as everyone is enjoying themselves!
