One cask beer on offer, rotating between the two listed. We will see if trade recovers sufficiently for this to happen - "Our intention is to add up to an additional 2 quality cask products on a rotating basis from October of this year." However on a walk-by in June 2023 no cask could be seen through the windows.

Traditional Irish, folk and jazz music sessions most weeks. See Facebook and Instagram for details. Traditional pub food menu. Large outdoor beer gardens at the rear of the pub and more seating outside the front of the pub.

March 2021 update - due to reopen post lockdown as Brendan The Navigator with new operators. "The pub will be restored by John Rynne and Michael Spurgeon true to its traditional character. Michael ran The Lamb down on Holloway Road in its salad days and was also head chef in the much-mourned Nickel in Crouch End as well as in Season Kitchen in Finsbury park. The “navigator” in the name is also intended to reflect the 19th century Irish, who laboured in the construction of England’s canal system – the “Navvies”, whose efforts inspired the regenerated “Navigator Square” beside Archway Station."

Pub closed in April, 2018 after which the interior was completely gutted. The lease was taken on by HANDH LONDON LIMITED. They updated the premises license and reopened as Tourian Lounge. But that did not last that long.
