What is the best pub near Highbury & Islington tube station with Sky Sports ?

Covered End

Normal pub where you don't have to book, to watch the Manchester derby Saturday 5.30.
Thanks.

The Alwyne Castle, less than a 5 min walk from the station, is really nice.

Is that the pub they named after you?

I looked at both those pubs websites yesterday & they both had book a table option.
This was why I asked the question, because I wondered if they would be all poncy and full of hipsters knitting yoghurt.
Planning on watching the Manchester derby then off to Alexandra Palace to see Idles.

The famous cock always has sky sports on on a Saturday. Then head to Le mercury for dinner - one of my fave London restaurants just up the road.

My dinner will be 6 pints of Guinness thanks.

Why not drink in Finsbury Park then get a train from there?

Good call. Should I start a new thread or do you have a better suggestion for Finsbury Park ?

Leave it to me, just off to do some shopping and I'll tell you where to go.

Opposite is The Blackstock Arms, although I am certain they do not show the football.

The Twelve Pins is 2 minutes walk from the tube station.

Good call Gary, in the 12 pins. Large screen & other TVs.
