[Albion] Boozers for Arsenal away

[Sussex26]

Any idea where the away fans can/should drink before the match?

Go to Haringay Green Lanes, I used to live there, couple of decent boozers and the best Cypriot/Turkish/Greek food in the country.

That's a bit of a schlep to the Emirates; it must be 2 miles from mid Green Lanes. Has it improved down there? I lived off Green Lanes for several years until returning to Brighton in 1994 and although The Salisbury was an amazing Victorian building it and it's clientele were very run down. I saw a wild-west style brawl once in The Suffolk Punch (bog standard Wetherspoons which I think has closed now) amongst a tribe of travellers. And the cafes were mainly cypriot gambling dens and I'm told many were fronts for drug dealing. Places change though...

The end of last season we went in the Drayton Park, not the most spectacular boozer but reasonable prices, a superb hot dog stand outside and very close to the ground.

If you get off at Highbury & Islington then the House of Hammerton or Hen & Chicken Theatre bar ok

I used to drink in Big Red further down Holloway Road occasionally and that was good for food and a great juke box

If your going via Finsbury Park, Stroud Green Road has fantastic places to eat and the Worlds End or The Old Dairy are good. Faltering Fullback well worth a visit and very close to Finsbury Park station. Twelve Pins and The Blackstock and all pubs on Blackstock Road very much home pubs and best avoided.

I lived there as well - Pubs aint that great around there though : The Alwyne Castle near the Emirates is a good pub as it has a good outside seating area, which I suppose is no good at this time of year

Big Red has closed down now sadly. Great little rock bar that was

Yep spent a couple of New Years Eve in there, that is a shame, I heard it was closing but I was not sure when it was due to close.

Haven't lived there since 2008, but found the Emporium, Salisbury and Garden fine, as well as the restaurants, I wasn't involved in their skulduggery. As for distance to the Emirates, no distance at all.

I lived opposite The Salisbury and didn't much like it. Really expensive as well
