Blackstock Road

You've not really done the whole trip unless youıve had few sessions in The Gunners. It's the spiritual drinking den of every Arsenal fan. We've frequented this bar on and off for a good few years. It's where you first head to if weıve won something, it's where you head to if Arsenal are out in Europe and you canıt get there. Youıre just always assured that there will be a huge crowd of Gooners to share your joy or despartion with.

The night Arsenal clinched the title at Anfield in 1989 you couldnıt move for cameras being stuck up your nose before, after and even during the match. It's the bar which, if you look closely, features in Fever Pitch and it's the bar where if you're into memorabilia on The Famous Arsenal you really canıt afford to miss.

On a matchday the crowds gather inside and outside and there is a constant excited buzz about the place. The people get there early and start getting into gear before the battle commences by 2.00pm it is always standing room only and for a big match the singing and the atmosphere start here.

It's always been the same, even way back in the seventies when the sign board showed for many years a white booted painting of Charlie George lashing a Charlie Special, hopefully into a White Hart Lane net. The outside and the inside of this pub have now changed dramatically. Now itıs comfort and room all the way. The bar area is huge and so despite the large numbers getting served is never too much of a problem and the there is ample seating although an early arrival is the only way to ensure you get a seat.

Outside the Gunners looks like the shrine it should be. There is no doubting where you are in the world when you walk past this place. The inside too leaves little to your imagination and should you stray outside to the beer garden and forget where you are a very impressive Gunners sign post reminds you instantly.

You're in the Gunners, You're Home, and You're Welcome!!!
