The Faltering Fullback

This is a great pub within a short walk of the tube. It has a great entertaining space and decent outdoor seating. I went to watch an Irish rugby match, the atmosphere was electric, however marked down due to how so busy it got. There was a queuing system before I arrived, but once the game started, it felt a little claustrophobic, this is my opinion and if you are good with crowds, this wouldn't be a bother for you. I ate before the game started, the food was incredible and very quick for a busy pub. It was value for money in a venue in this location. The bar was small, but the staff were really friendly and I was served quickly, but once the game started, couldn't get to the bar as I placed myself too deep into the crowd, but I saw a steady stream of people getting drinks, so seems the service remained grand. Security were nice and maintained a good atmosphere. All in all I would go back

Pretty decent little boozer, although little is a poor choice of words - the inside is actually rather big - with multiple rooms where sport is often played (Mainly a rugby bar) and a lovely winding balcony beer garden area if you want some air. Drinks were generally quick to order from the bar but there is also the option of table service via a QR code. Can't speak on the food in general as I didn't eat anything aside from nicking a friend's chip, but that one chip was pleasingly crispy with a lovely fluffiness inside. Would recommend grabbing a bowl if peckish. Really nice way to spend the afternoon especially if the weather is decent.

We have been visiting for about 2 years every now and then. The place is massive. There are some small tables for a bit more private chat. Then there's a large hall with plenty of seats that's perfect for watching sports. The most unique about Faltering Fullback is their set of little terraces with multiple levels surrounded by lots of different plants. This lovely beer garden really is the reason we sometimes decide to come here even though they don't serve any cocktails. The pub also doesn't allow dogs. These are two reasons we don't come as often. Staff are always polite and friendly. Prices are normal, and bathrooms are taken care of. Looking forward trying their food one day. In summary, this is a great pub in Finsbury Park to bring or recommend to friends.

Great pub. Staff are lovely, brilliant atmosphere for sport. Lovely outside area. One minor, what is going on with the over officious bouncers outside!? Really rude and kinda kills the vibe of having a nice drink outside when you've got bouncers speaking to adults like naughty children on a Sat afternoon. Heard a few people saying they were going to leave as they were killing the atmosphere.
