Came here with a large group of friends on a Thursday night and was thrilled to find lots of seating both indoor and outdoor!A great selection of drinks at a reasonable price, and according to an experienced friend, the second best Guinness he’s ever had outside Ireland. We will definitely be back ?

I was the Fullback for the Rugby World Cup Final and it was an incredible night. The atmosphere was electric, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Both food and drinks were top-notch. I cant wait to go back, this place is a real winner.

Such an HORRIBLE experience, we came from far away because a friend of mine recommended as they are "dog friendly", but once inside a security approach aggressively to us saying "you cannot stay here with that dog" when inside already saw two other dogs, why other dogs are allowed but mine not? Because is a bit bigger than the others? I felt very discriminated, because in the website say they are dog friendly, but is just A LIE, they are dog friendly when is convenient for them and when they want. One of the security offered me to take a plastic glass to drink outside, are you for real? Under the rain?!!! Even have been mentioned that the owner has two dogs, if you have dogs you should emphasize more with dog owners. Please do the favour to update the website as you are NOT DOG FRIENDLY. I will never come back, if I could I would rate 0 stars.Now I'm enjoying a nice service in somewhere else that is dog friendly for real.

This is a great pub within a short walk of the tube. It has a great entertaining space and decent outdoor seating.I went to watch an Irish rugby match, the atmosphere was electric, however marked down due to how so busy it got.There was a queuing system before I arrived, but once the game started, it felt a little claustrophobic, this is my opinion and if you are good with crowds, this wouldn't be a bother for you.I ate before the game started, the food was incredible and very quick for a busy pub. It was value for money in a venue in this location.The bar was small, but the staff were really friendly and I was served quickly, but once the game started, couldn't get to the bar as I placed myself too deep into the crowd, but I saw a steady stream of people getting drinks, so seems the service remained grand.Security were nice and maintained a good atmosphere.All in all I would go back

Pretty decent little boozer, although little is a poor choice of words - the inside is actually rather big - with multiple rooms where sport is often played (Mainly a rugby bar) and a lovely winding balcony beer garden area if you want some air.Drinks were generally quick to order from the bar but there is also the option of table service via a QR code.Can't speak on the food in general as I didn't eat anything aside from nicking a friend's chip, but that one chip was pleasingly crispy with a lovely fluffiness inside. Would recommend grabbing a bowl if peckish.Really nice way to spend the afternoon especially if the weather is decent.

A beautiful pub, great atmosphere and serving Thai food which is excellent. Had a great evening with friends. A place that I shall be definitely be visiting again.

We have been visiting for about 2 years every now and then. The place is massive. There are some small tables for a bit more private chat. Then there's a large hall with plenty of seats that's perfect for watching sports.The most unique about Faltering Fullback is their set of little terraces with multiple levels surrounded by lots of different plants. This lovely beer garden really is the reason we sometimes decide to come here even though they don't serve any cocktails. The pub also doesn't allow dogs. These are two reasons we don't come as often.Staff are always polite and friendly. Prices are normal, and bathrooms are taken care of.Looking forward trying their food one day. In summary, this is a great pub in Finsbury Park to bring or recommend to friends.

What a cool place!I can imagine on a night when there is rugby this place would be heaving.

Pub quiz on Monday is great. Unfortunately a veeeery small selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Very lovely (and large!) garden at the back. The main indoor room is a bit bizarre. Must be good to fit many people watching sports though. Cuter pods to seat in near the entrance(s).

Reasonably priced pints and fantastic thai food! I was also impressed by the layout of the beer garden, great way to maximise space and despite looking quite intimidating, is actually super easy to navigate!

Used to be a good pub but went back recently and the bouncers ruined it. Walking around in military style waistcoats, very moody - had a go at a friend for putting a jumper on a banister and won’t let you stand up in the garden. Created a horrible atmosphere

This pub captures the essence of a vibrant social scene. With its welcoming ambiance, extensive drink menu, and lively crowd, it's the go-to destination for a memorable night out filled with fun and camaraderie.

Matthew Brabon

Great pub. Staff are lovely, brilliant atmosphere for sport. Lovely outside area.One minor, what is going on with the over officious bouncers outside!? Really rude and kinda kills the vibe of having a nice drink outside when you've got bouncers speaking to adults like naughty children on a Sat afternoon. Heard a few people saying they were going to leave as they were killing the atmosphere.

Great atmosphere for the football. One of the best pints of Guinness I've had in London. Calamari was a bit of a let down though, but nice chips ?

Definitely an amazing place to go with your friends for a pint or few. They have nice quiz game nights. Best in this place is their beer garden, so many floors when you going up and up than you are in lovely rooftop with nice decorations around you. Really recommend to go there.
