It became a free house in August 2007 and proudly proclaimed itself as "biker friendly". It then underwent renovation around the end of 2008, and became much neater and smarter than its old, slightly scruffy, incarnation. [http://www.harringayonline.com/forum/topics/the-old-ale-emporiim According to Harringay Online], there was another change of management in late 2013; we haven't done a full survey since, so some of the details below (e.g. about accessibility) may be out of date. |

[[Kake]] first visited on a Tuesday lunchtime in June 2008. Summer Lightning (£2.80/pint) and Quick Fix were on as guest ales; Adnams Broadside was available too, and the Pride clip was turned around to indicate it was off. The TV was showing a music channel (sadly including adverts). There were several regulars clustered around the bar, and a few other people came in and out while I was there; everyone seemed to know each other. |

[[Kake]] visited again on a Monday afternoon in September 2009. This time there were two ales on; St Austell Tribute (£1.40/half) and London Pride. When I arrived around 3:30pm there were about 15 people in, split between the inside and the outside. A flatscreen TV was showing Sky Sports News with the sound on. |

[[Steev]] visited on a Monday afternoon (around 4pm) in August 2016. There were four ales on: Caledonian Road to Rio, Speckled Hen, Moles Jailers Daughter, and one other. On keg, they had Strongbow, Symonds cider, and probably four or five lagers plus Guinness. Two halves of ale (both at £1.70) were reasonably well kept. There were roughly six people inside, and six outside; all noisy, and probably half-cut. The jukebox went from cheesy Euro disco pap to "Being Boiled" by the Human League. If the group inside knew the song, they'd sing it. Loudly. There were lots of signs about food allergies, but no sign of food. |

There's a free jukebox on Saturday from 8 til 1, and spot showing throughout. Oh, and the dartboard has an electronic scoring unit. Lots of signs about food allergies. No sign of food. |

Traditional pub in Harringay, located on the corner of Burgoyne Road and Green Lanes.
Note: According to Harringay Online, there was a change of management in late 2013. We haven't visited since this happened, and hence some of the details below may be out of date.
It became a free house in August 2007 (according to a now-vanished page on its website) and proudly proclaimed itself to be "a biker friendly pub". It then underwent renovation around the end of 2008/beginning of 2009, and became much neater and smarter than its old, slightly scruffy, incarnation.
There's a comfortable covered patio out the front for the smokers, and the interior has varnished wood panelling and exposed floorboards. The small room at the back has bookshelves filled with books.

Accessibility: A wide ramp at the front gives step-free access from the street, but there's a step up to get to the back room and the toilets.
