Railway Tavern
Until recently, the Railway Tavern was one of the last blokey boozers in Crouch End - a testament to big screen footy and cooking lager; we could only imagine what it might have been like in its heyday, before the station alluded to in the name closed. However, after a change of ownership and a much needed revamp it's searching for a new, younger, more affluent demographic. Housed in a nice 1930s building, a large handful of original features have thankfully been retained, including a nice fireplace and the wooden panelling. Where the pool table once stood you can now find bar skittles, which may or may not be for ironic purposes. There's usually a couple of ales on tap (the Everard's Tiger was in good nick) and those in search of lager will find an above average selection. Food is also pretty good and we've eaten here a few times now; sandwiches, main meals and tapas style snacks are order of the day and won't disappoint. There is also some entertainment on offer, usually in the form of live music on a Sunday night. Despite all the positives, it never seems to get as busy as other pubs in the area, which is rather odd, as its arguably one of the better places to have a drink.
