The Highbury Barn Tavern
Highbury
The Highbury Barn Tavern is a welcoming, independent community pub just a stone’s throw from Highbury Fields. We are dedicated to exceptional service, quality produce, and a true sense of hospitality, embracing the essence of a traditional British pub. With charming period features, our pub is the perfect spot for a relaxed drink or meal with friends. Join us for a buzzing atmosphere on game day - we're just an 11 minute walk from Emirates Stadium - when the Arsenal F.C. faithful gather before and after fixtures, or on Sundays for Islington’s best roast.

Seasonal British food and inviting drinks in Highbury Barn
Join us at The Highbury Barn Tavern for a menu full of modern, seasonal British pub food and sensational small plates. Visit on Sundays for our roasts; we serve pork, chicken, beef and veggie to all our diners. Alongside our food menus, you’ll find our selection of craft beers, signature cocktails, wonderful wines and premium spirits.
A hidden Fitzrovia favourite — if you know, you know.
Slip upstairs and discover our secret cocktail bar — a plush, low-lit escape from the bustle of central London. Think velvet booths, curated playlists, and bartenders who know their craft inside and out.
Our menu blends timeless classics with modern twists, featuring favourites like the French Martini, Smoked Old Fashioned, and seasonal house creations that surprise and delight. Whether you’re after something bold, bright, or beautifully balanced, our team will pour you the perfect drink — every time.
Ideal for dates, discreet meetups, or letting the evening unfold into something special.
