The Saturday List #159 - The complete list of pubs in the London Borough of Barnet

A pub in the Borough of Barnet - can you name it?

Earlier this week, I published a blog entitled The pubs of Mill Hill and why the pub scene is going wrong which got a truly massive response. It seems that the Bods of Barnet are very interested in our local hostelries. We';ve lost a lot of our pubs, which is clearly not good news for our community. The Barnet Times has a fine picture gallery of 131 of these. 

I thought I'd start the year with a kick off Saturday list detailing as many of the remaining pubs as possible and getting your feedback regarding them. I asked for positive feedback only, as I didn't want the post to be an opportunity for everyone who's had a bad pint in the Borough too sharpen their knives. The comments in italics are from people responding to the request. Where I got no responses, I had a look for recent (last six months) decent Google reviews that seemed genuine and seemed to be in the consensus.

The pubs that have the bigger listings are ones on the Barnet Music website, that have live music. There is a link to their Lemonrock page, if you fancy some live music (Follow the Barnet Music Facebook page for more details). The list was originally derived from the Barnet Council database of licensed pubs, so if theres something missing or wrong, then you konow who to blame. I pasted the list onto Facebook to try and get feedback and had hundreds of comments back. Here is the list

I hope this is of some interest you to you!

Nice pint of Guinness."
