Describing the pub, Historic Pub Crawls said: “You’re greeted by a horseshoe bar on entry, with the walls and ceilings adorned with Irish bric-a-brac and memorabilia.”
Adding: “Its location makes it popular with Arsenal fans on matchday, but the ‘Sin Bin’ to the rear screens live sports for all fans, and with its rows of picnic tables and moody red lighting, it creates the perfect cinema room and a rowdy venue for guest musicians.”
The Instagram page went on to discuss the real ‘gem’ of the pub, the beer garden, sharing: “Now about that secret garden that’s hidden away from view because it’s designed like a window Ewok tree house where the different levels of decking create a cosy maze amongst the ivy.”
On the online review website, Tripadvisor, The Faltering Fullback has a rating of 3.8 out of five.
