The Finsbury - Hackney

Great pub , busy lots of outside heating and they have a stage area at the back and do live music. The only thing is there's no parking around here so be prepared to walk

Somehow, it's the only pub in Manor House. But whoever runs the place is definitely doing it great. Reasonable menu, reasonable prices, perfectly arranged garden/terrace, really nice and friendly team, life music early, before 1900 on Friday. It's a great meeting point to catch up with friends.

Excellent music venue, great sound system. Saw Barerra here in April 22. A great pub too, nice tall ceilings and plenty of room

This pub has great live music but unfortunately, the staff can be sexist. While it is one of the best places in London for entertainment, it can be difficult to enjoy a drink without experiencing sexist comments from male bar staff. I was made extremely uncomfortable when one staff member lightly hit me on the head after I declined a high five. Inappropriate jokes and comments followed, including mocking my dietary choices. Women should be able to enjoy a drink without being subjected to this kind of behavior. It's time for the staff to mature and show some respect in this day and age.

Today, I had a negative experience with the door person at a restaurant. I was with my Italian female friend, and I am of Caribbean descent. It was clear that the doorman did not want to let us in because we were a mixed-race couple. He gave a weak excuse about my belt not being properly buckled. It was disappointing since my friend and I have frequented this pub on many Fridays. It's sad that we were stopped from enjoying our time and spending our money at our local pub. I didn't cause a scene as I didn't want to embarrass my friend, but this behavior is unacceptable. Management, take note of this incident.
