"The Plimsoll in Finsbury Park was once an Irish boozer that let Guinness rightfully rest and had Arsenal playing on the projector. It’s now the kind of pub that lets Guinness rightfully rest while serving a whole lemon sole and more elegant British food from the kitchen. The bar area is still ideal to perch in with a pint but make sure you book ahead if you want dinner in the week (there’s a limited menu on weekends) because the popularity of their famous cheeseburger hasn’t waned." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
