The Faltering Fullback

Rambling pub with bric-a-brac and vintage posters, plus spacious beer garden and menu of Thai food.

The Faltering Fullback, often nicknamed ‘The Fullback’, is off the beaten track, nestled away on a leafy residential street in North London’s Finsbury Park. Our enchanting Irish pub, adorned in ivy, has become the best worst kept secret in London and is a local favourite.

The pub comprises multiple rooms for different purposes, we have a beautiful green and peaceful garden, buzzing front bar, the lively ‘Sin Bin’ and quiet side bars for those more intimate moments. There is something for everyone.

The entrance bar is where you’ll find our friendly locals. The horseshoe bar will greet you instantly upon arrival. The ceiling of the front bar is packed out with a peculiar collection of sporting memorabilia and various vintage antiques and oddities.

The quirky interior is often met with a fabulous Irish Trad band playing traditional music huddled around a table surrounded by many punters chatting, dancing and sipping away their pints.

If you manage to pull yourself away from the bar, the lively music and buzzing atmosphere of the pub you will stumble into the secret garden that is hidden away from view. You’ll be delighted you found it. Our enchanting award-winning beer garden is designed like a multi-layered Ewok treehouse. The different levels of decking expose a cosy maze of seating and secret cubby holes surrounded in Ivy creating a perfect place to relax and unwind.

This magical garden oozes charm and provides a tranquil oasis to enjoy your refreshments from the bar and the delicious Thai food making its way out of the kitchen. The garden is the ultimate spot to wine and dine in both the warmer and cooler months, equipped with heaters so that it can be used all year round.
