What's The Best Pub In Stoke Newington: The Results

And we have our winner... (image: Google Street View)

We asked you to vote for your favourite pubs and bars in Stokey, as part 'S' of our alphabetic investigation into London's best pubs. Thanks to everyone who voted. Here are the results; see the bottom of the article for the pub crawl details.

The Top 10

1. The Shakespeare (50 votes)
2. The Auld Shillelagh (27 votes)
3. The Jolly Butchers (17 votes)
4. Ryan's Bar (13 votes)
5. The Rose and Crown (10 votes)
6. The Fox Reformed (9 votes)
=7. Ruby's (8 votes)
=7. The Coach and Horses (8 votes)
=9. The Lion (7 votes)
=9. The Three Crowns (7 votes)

So, a decisive win for The Shakespeare. Given its distance from the high streets, we suspect that local fans rallied to ensure this one, but it is reportedly a very good pub, so fair dinkum — it's nice to have a less familiar (to non-locals) winner. The Auld Shillelagh and Jolly Butchers were always going to feature highly, and nice to see Ryan's Bar sneak into the pub crawl in fourth place.

All the nominated pubs and bars are shown in the map above. Green dotted pins are the top 4, which we’ll visit on the pub crawl (see below). Yellow pins show the rest of the top 10. Red pins are all other nominations. (Red doesn’t mean ‘bad’…it’s at least one person’s favourite, and might be off the beaten track and less well known.)
