Bank of Friendship

A Yard Sale delivery partnership, Deya on tap, and a hip young match-day crowd sporting the Arsenal x Aries collection are just a few of the ‘cool pub’ signifiers on display at this old-school independent spot in the Gooner heartlands. But you don’t need a mullet and a pristine JVC-era replica kit to feel welcome here. The atmosphere is as friendly as its name suggests, even when the pre-football crowd at the bar is six deep and it’s standing room only in the beer garden.
