The exterior of The Quays is certainly interesting. Views through the windows are blocked by shelves of old bottles, while uplighters illuminate the blue walls in a tacky alternating spectrum of colour. The interior is also unusual, with three distinct areas, including a front bar adorned with etched mirrors and ornate woodwork, a balcony bar and a back section featuring a huge ten foot screen. Coupled with two plasma screens it verged on 'sports bar' territory, but it also has regular live music and DJs - apparently until 4 in the morning on Fridays and Saturdays. On our last visit however it was fairly quiet barring a few regulars and friendly staff. Conversely, on weekend nights a young crowd descends and it gets pretty lively, as it does when big matches are shown. Ultimately, this is a pub which appeals to different people at different times for different reasons - so time your visit well. The only thing that put us off was the sign on the door exhorting us to "remove all hats" before entering. Probably means hoods, too.

How to find the The Quays pub

From Holloway tube: turn left and walk for a good 10 minutes. Its on the left, passed the Cinema. It would be quicker to jump on one of the buses from outside the station. From Archway or Upper Holloway: make you way down Holloway Road for about 10 minutes and its on the right.
