Gunners for me, though a bit of a trek now to the Stadium.

Bank of Friendship serve your beer in Glass not Plastic on match days and on a hot day cant beat the Beer Garden, Although the last time was there i was being entertained by about 5 mice scrapping with each other in the lounge, Makes a change from the Punters i suppose :lol:

12 Pins usually but I've discovered The Bailey this season. Top boozer and some cracking after match piss ups too.

Blackstock,or The Auld Triangle,(both friendly and the beer is not too bad.Also,The Arsenal Tavern is ok.
For me,"The Gunners" is too much of a "Tourist" Arsenal pub for me,a as a consequence,gets too rammed to get a pint!!!
My "little secret" pub is "The Woodbine",Quirky,not too packed,and a good pint!!!

Auld Triangle - decent atmosphere,nice and convenient to station but have to say owner and some of the staff could do with a little customer service refresher!

Agree with this - the Bank on a nice warm afternoon - no better drinking venue for Gooners

Don't like the Pins so would say Arsenal Tavern. Agree about the Gunners, good pub but no chance on matchday. I should clarify though I haven't lived in the area for five years so things may have changed.

Bet the Pins hasn't though.

I don't know many of the Arsenal pubs, but I've been to the Auld Triangle during my last visit in May 2010. Good atmosphere, despite the stupid policeman who tried to keep us from standing on the streets. :lol:

Bank of friendship. Few decent ales on cask and it feels like a proper pub.
I do like the Blackstock as well, used to be my local for a while.

Probably the pins, used to go auld triangle in Highbury days but just gets too congested in their now, I remember there used to be a really small glass collecter in their and he would carry pint glasses about 6 feet tall! We used to call him the little wrigler! :) Also really like The Bailey, Its a good laugh in their! Not been to the gunner before but will be sure to check it out.
