Best Pubs in Barnet

Barnet sprawls across north London's outer reaches, taking in everything from the Victorian terraces of Finchley to the suburban streets of Edgware and the former market town of High Barnet itself. It's commuter territory with pockets of green space where locals tend to stick to their own neighbourhoods. The pub scene leans towards neighbourhood spots serving food alongside pints rather than destinations that pull crowds from across London.

Urban Alchemy Tap brings craft beer and real ale to a modern taproom setting, while Ye Olde Mitre Barnet and The Rising Sun both fit the gastro pub mould with burgers, chips and wine lists suited to the family crowd. The Bohemia combines cocktails with Thai food for a more contemporary feel. These are places you walk to rather than travel for.
