I absolutely love big red, its my staple night out if I can't be bothered to travel far from my home. However that said I've spoken to a lot of people who have traveled far to come for a night out here. The crowd are mainly rocker/metal types but all seem very friendly and chatting to some randoms is easy. It looks a bit unappealing to the average person and have to admit the first time I...more

Could be a lot better. Could be a LOT worse.

Big Red is an excellent place to go for an evening, whether it's for a quick drink (which always seems to turn into one or two more than expected), a meal with friends, or a special occasion, Big Red can accommodate it all.

Centrally placed on a junction between Holloway Road and Seven Sisters Road, making it a ten minute bus ride from Highbury, Camden, Finsbury Park and Archway, Big Red...more
