Alwyne Castle

Description

If you’re looking for a quirky and affordable pub close to Highbury Fields and the Emirates Stadium, The Alwyne Castle is well worth a visit. 

Located in a prime spot in at the bustling heart of Highbury, this popular bar has a distinctly traditional feel, with wood-panelling, period features and a roaring open fire. 

There’s a classic British pub menu and the bar is always well stocked with premium drinks, including craft beers, a great selection of wines and artisan spirits. 

The pub holds a regular quiz and there’s a private conservatory area that can be booked for events. But this venue’s crowning glory is its spacious beer garden, which wraps around the whole building, providing the perfect spot for sun-kissed drinks and alfresco dining.
