What people say
The Famous Cock on Upper Street in London is a must-visit for anyone looking for a fantastic traditional pub experience. This friendly venue offers delicious food, great drinks, and amazing music that will keep you coming back for more. Whether you're looking to grab a cold drink after work or enjoy some hot food while watching your favorite sports events, The Famous Cock has got you covered.
One of the best things about this pub is its excellent pre and post-match Arsenal crowd. It's only a short walk from Arsenal F.C., making it the perfect spot to grab a drink before or after the game. But even if you're not an Arsenal fan, you'll still love the atmosphere at The Famous Cock.
The pub recently introduced their latest 'Summer Sessions' cocktails, which are the perfect addition to help keep you cool in the sunshine this weekend. From the Peach Babe made with Gordon’s White Peach Gin and Fever-Tree Elderflower tonic to the Safe Blood made with Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla gin and Fever-tree Italian Blood Orange soda, there's something for everyone on their menu.
If you're a football fan, The Famous Cock is also the place to be during UEFA Champions League season. They recently hosted a viewing party for the final match between Man City and another team in Istanbul.
And if you're looking for something special to do this Father's Day, The Famous Cock is giving away five Crafternoon Tea experiences for two lucky winners who sign up for their newsletter.
Overall, The Famous Cock on Upper Street is an excellent choice for anyone looking for great food, drinks, music, and sports events in London.
