Green House, West Green, N15

Visited 10/08/26. Visited previously K K McCools on 27/05/25. Cask here was Hotspur from Redemption, Five Points XPA and a cider called Wizard from brewer Tricky. Three other hand pumps, two with clips reversed. Decent crafty keg offering of London Black from Anspach & Hobday, Pillars Pilsner, Five Points Lager and their Citrus pale ale, the Nirvana cider from Tricky, Solar from Redemption, the Nirvana Pils AF pilsner, Ansbacher lager from Anspach & Hobday and the Upper Crust Red IPA from Howling Hops. This place is v recently re-opened (at date of my visit) and is as far removed from the old school Irish pub that was here previously. Venue is bare boarded at the front with bench seating in the front window that was occupied by a large group with kids eating pizza on my mid evening visit. Regular tables down the left-hand side to the end of the bar counter which is along the right-hand wall in the middle of the venue. Floor from start of bar counter to rear is painted concrete and there is an original fire grate on the wall opposite the bar counter with a couple of large wingback armchairs in front of serving a regular table. There is a drinking ledge on the right-hand wall beyond the end of the bar counter to the rear exit to the beer garden, the wall panelling painted a dark green and some small church pew style benches serving regular tables along the rear left-hand wall. No screens here now, this formerly being a decent footy watching pub, and I could barely hear the soundtrack (which I think was radio based) above the family group with kids eating pizza. To be fair there is more to offer here for cask drinkers than the previous incarnation but felt like a bit of Irish pub magic had disappeared with the passing of the prior venue.

Be careful when using Google Maps to get to this place. We ended up at some place also called the Greenhouse in an industrial estate in Tottenham Hale! At least we were near the Pressure Drop Brewery. So, one of our party managed to grab a swift half before they closed at 8pm and before an Uber arrived to transport us to the correct Green House! Entrance is through the side of the building. The bar is along the right-hand side and sports 6 handpulls. 5 of these were clipped with Redemption Big Chief, Urban Dusk & Hopspur, East London Jamboree & Five Points XPA. The 6th was reserved for a cider - Tricky Wizard. Craft beers were Five Points Citrus Pale, Redemption Solar, London Brewing Company Beano!, East London Two Palms & Anspach & Hobday London Black. Another Tricky cider was also on keg. This was Nirvana, a new one for me. The interior seemed quite pleasant but we chose to sit in the small outdoor courtyard to the rear. Dogs are allowed inside. This was the first pub I've ever visited in the N15 postal code area. It certainly feels a bit off the beaten track, being a fair way from a tube or mainline station (we took the bus to Archway) but I was reasonably impressed by this place, which has obviously improved significantly since the last review.

Visited 27/05/25 No cask. Basic keg offering of Guinness, Inch's and SB original cider, Fosters, Carlsberg, Heineken, John Smiths, K1664, Moretti and Cruz. Long rectangular venue with bar counter on right-hand wall mid venue with the compulsory tall stools along the length of the bar counter for North London Irish pubs! Venue is carpeted throughout. There was a small fabric banquette with a partition on one side, and the unused fire grate the other side mid left-hand wall that I perched myself on for my decent pint of Guinness here. Regular tables and chairs in the front and rear left-hand side and there is a pool table in the front of the venue. Not that many TV screen is this traditional venue, the one that was switched on was showing the IPL cricket on my attendance but generally the regulars here were bemoaning the end of the footy season.

This is a thin Irish pub with a pool table at the front and a projector screen on the back wall to supplement the two flat screen TVs in the centre of the bar when the football is on Sky Sports. There was no sport on during my visit last Monday evening so a documentary about American drug addicts was being shown with the volume turned right up, which I thought a little odd, but four of the five locals in the bar were engrossed in the programme. Thankfully I could escape out the back door and enjoy my Guinness on one of the two picnic tables in the small enclosed smoking area. There is a basic food menu and although there is no real ale there is a decent standard draught range. There are some advertisements for live music at weekends from 21:00 until late and there is also a jukebox at the rear of the pub. I found the barman to be polite, but I’m not sure that I would make a point of visiting here again.
