The Oakdale was a pub in [[Locale Harringay|Harringay]]. It [http://www.tottenhamjournal.co.uk/news/developers_call_time_on_popular_harringay_pub_1_783552 closed for good] in March 2011. The information below is retained for people who want to know what it used to be like. <div class="old_info"> Pub in [[Locale Harringay|Harringay]]. It was in the 2007 Good Beer Guide, but not the 2008 edition. Very much into their real ale, and their single malts; they also usually have real cider. On a March 2008 visit, there were four Milton brews and one guest beer on tap; when the guest beer ran out it was replaced with another as soon as the line was cleaned. In June 2008, Old Rosie was £1.30/half and Stowford Press was £2.20/pint. Whilst the quality of the beer is as good as its sister pub, the [[Pembury Tavern, E8 1JH|Pembury Tavern]], the atmosphere is quite different, being far more of a locals' pub, laid out with seats (including a couple of armchairs) and standing areas for drinking, rather than tables for eating at. Unlike the Pembury Tavern, the Oakdale Arms has a licence for music, so has a jukebox and a video projector, which on [[Nick]]'s March 2008 visit was showing ITV1 (with sound) and on [[Kake]]'s June 2008 visit was showing football. Nick has been told that a Wii is often also plugged into this, but hasn't seen it first hand. They do have a jukebox, and when Rob the manager (or is he still the assistant manager?) (who is a character in himself) is behind the bar it may well be playing rock/metal. They don't do food, and on a June 2008 visit [[Kake]] got the impression that there are no plans to change this. "Authentic Black Country" pork scratchings were £1. In July 2007, a staff member mentioned in the BITE comments linked below that they're happy for you to bring in takeaways. They have set up a sheltered area in the beer garden for smokers, following the ban, and there are also some bench/table things out the front. Free wireless; the network's named after the pub, and there's no password.
