The Whittington Stone is answering your question of where to watch sports in Highgate. Not only does it boast a number of HD screens and pool tables, but it also stocks a vast range of gins and craft beers, plus some tasty American-style food.
Located moments away from Kentish Town station, Never For Ever is a relaxed boozer that's filled with rustic wooden furnishings, leather armchairs and pretty plants hanging from the ceiling. They're all about sustainability and seasonality, evident across their food and drink menus.
They offer eight different craft beers on tap, alongside tasty cocktails and a global wine list. Hungry? Tuck into the likes of wood-fired pizzas, crispy mushroom burgers and fried chicken with a sriracha glaze.
With vibrant interiors, hearty grub and an impressive array of craft pints, The Angel Inn is a no-brainer when it comes to gastropubs in Highgate. Head here for some after-work pints, a Sunday roast or even a weekend bottomless brunch.
If you're after a pub near Highgate High Street, then The Wrestlers is the gorgeous, traditional boozer that you should hit up. Fronting juicy burgers, homemade pies and delicious, hearty Sunday roasts, alongside a choice of real ales or artisan spirits, this place is a top choice.
The Gatehouse is a great shout for any time of the year. As well as having a sun-drenched beer garden, it's also one of the best Highgate village pubs with a fire. Add in comfy armchairs and banquettes along with delicious food and a variety of drinks and this is one first-class boozer.
Home to arguably the most beautiful beer garden in Highgate, The Flask is something of a historical gem. Dating back to the 17th century, the local pub has seen the likes of playwrights, authors and rock stars come through its door since it originally opened.
A popular live music venue that's welcomed the likes of Coldplay and Pete Doherty onto their stage, The Boogaloo are a strong contender for the title of best Highgate pub. Grab yourself a table in their snug den and spend your evening chomping on juicy burgers and listening to indie tunes from the vintage jukebox.
