I'm a big fan of the Junction and the Pineapple, but since the SA opened in its current incarnation last year, I've don't visit them anywhere near as often. Boring beer in the Junction does seem to have become a more regular feature recently, I'm pretty sure they used to have a better range. But they do decent festivals fairly regularly and the food is good, so I still like it.<br /><br />In terms of doing the trip in reverse, that's probably a good idea generally. But as I think I tweeted to you, the SA can get very very busy in the evenings, particularly on the weekend. It's the only very minor negative for me and it's really a positive negative as it means that a great pub is doing well!<br /><br />Pedantry PS, you were really in Kentish Town and Gospel Oak, not Highgate. Highgate's a bit uninteresting on the pub front sadly.<br /><br />PPS, I hate pedants, so sorry for the PS.SteveFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-45585623648442059742011-03-01T13:10:56.078+00:002011-03-01T13:10:56.078+00:00The Southampton Arms has been the stand out London...The Southampton Arms has been the stand out London pub for me for the last year or so - a shame about the jugs but it would be sad if it was perfect.<br /><br />The Junction always leaves me feeling a bit flat - they seem to have a thing for Rebellion beers which have always underwhelmed me..."Eddie Rowles"https://www.blogger.com/profile/16504751692086571702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-25826392178239362282011-03-01T08:05:34.696+00:002011-03-01T08:05:34.696+00:00Simon - Indeed.Simon - Indeed.Tandlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804499573827044693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-61080365227593717492011-02-28T19:58:38.498+00:002011-02-28T19:58:38.498+00:00I had the cask version at the recent Brewing Indus...I had the cask version at the recent Brewing Industry International Awards in Burton; it was flabby after a couple of days on the go.<br /><br />I had the bottle tonight; good condition, full of flavour.<br /><br />There's nowt so queer as beer, eh?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03387325466589229898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8629758183547510158.post-56970674146731705132011-02-27T19:55:45.147+00:002011-02-27T19:55:45.147+00:00Birkonian - Glad you agree.

I agree that it is a superb pub and one other plus point is the price of beer. At Xmas, before the recent tax increases it was £2.90 for all beers except for the 9% Moor JJJ IPA. Also, they only sell beers from small breweries.Birkonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02797631050700297107noreply@blogger.com
