picture of Black Horse
Away from the main drag in High Barnet, the Black Horse is a pleasant-looking pub which benefits from a large, pretty garden. It tends to rely on a regular crowd of locals, and inside is more rough and ready than the exterior would suggest, but we were made to feel as welcome as anyone. Football was the main attraction early on a Saturday evening, even if this was being drowned out by one punter's less than critically-acclaimed choices on the jukebox. Live bands are a regular feature on Fridays. It's the sort of place you'll always enjoy more if it becomes your local, but still is worthy of your custom if in the area -- especially in summer.

Well I can't say that I recognise the Black Horse from that description. Or Barnet, which frankly, hasn't been "gentrified" for some time. It's laughable that you pick out one section of the regulars to comment on - of course there will be geezers in a pub during a football match. You would get that anywhere. I've been a regular at the Black Horse for over 2 years now - I first went there when some friends from up North came to visit and they loved it, commenting on the friendliness of the place. There are very few pubs that have such an ecclectic mix of regular customers. I can assure you that from my experience of the pub, if you go to the Black Horse and don't feel comfortable and welcome, that says more about you than it does about the pub.
only one comment, so far on this pub - why not add your own?
