The Salisbury Hotel (Harringay)

Exceptional Atmosphere, Unmatched Beer Selection!

It's safe to say that The Salisbury is something of a gem among the typical pub cluster of Green Lanes. As you step inside the Victorian-era haven, it's as though you've stumbled into a portal harking back to London’s heyday in the 1890s. Dark wood paneling, beautifully adorned interiors, and the comforting glow from vintage light fixtures create a visual feast before the culinary offerings even arrive. The warmth isn’t solely attributable to the fireplaces either; the congenial staff envelop you in a genuine embrace, ensuring that your empty pint glass or fragile dietary preferences don’t go unnoticed.

What makes The Salisbury thrive seems to be its audaciously wide-ranging repertoire of experiences it offers. Whether you're there for a rowdy rugby night on one of their numerous big screens, savoring dragon eggs from the eclectic Little Dragon menu, or sipping one of the pub's well-curated selection of local and international brews, there's an intoxicating dynamic at play. While one could voice grumbles about indifferent service moments or limited vegetarian options on particularly busy days, the sum of its merits ensures you'd contemplate returning for another go-round. For devoted beer enthusiasts and lovers of character-rich history, that trip seems inevitable. In short, The Salisbury pulls together good spirits, soulful munchies, and genuinely stunning architecture, leaving behind sparing space for any foot-dragging skepticism. — Audrey Al Dente
