Historical version 22 of Three Compasses, N8 7NX (view current version)

Good Beer Guide pub in Hornsey.

It has one main room at the front, with windows looking out onto the High Street, and another darker room at the back with a pool table, more seating, and at least one sofa.

Kake and bob visited on a Sunday afternoon in August 2010. There were five real ales on; three were the regulars (London Pride (£3.20/pint), Deuchars IPA, Timothy Taylor Landlord) and two were guests (Black Sheep Golden Sheep, Ringwood Boondoggle). A sign on the bar pointed out that third-pint glasses were available. They also do cocktails, which seem to change with the season menu photo.

They have several board games behind the bar photo of list, which you can borrow for a £5 deposit (we went for Trivial Pursuit — bob won). Music was playing throughout our visit, and there was also a football game playing on a screen in the back room, though this didn't really disturb us much in the front room. We noted that the staff were quite diligent at cleaning tables.

As of August 2013, no food is served; a board on the wall as of that month stated that the kitchen would be closed until further notice.

According to an advert in the Spring 2009 edition of the North London CAMRA newsletter, there's a quiz from 8pm on Mondays, poker league from 8pm on Thursday, and salsa dancing from 8pm on Sundays.

As of August 2013 they have free wifi via The Cloud (free registration required).

Accessibility: One of the entrances is step-free, and it's also step-free through to the accessible toilet, which is in the back room past the pool table.
