About the spot

When the Antwerp was threatened with closure in 2014, Spurs fans bought it and saved it. Now the profits go straight back into the local community. The 'Annie' is the oldest pub in Tottenham and one of the most meaningful places to drink before a match anywhere in London.

Fan-owned and community-run since 2014. The oldest pub in Tottenham. Profits reinvested in the local area. Real ale kept properly on rotating cask. Quiz nights, gigs and community events. A short walk from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Pub history made by fans, for fans. Profits go back into the community. The atmosphere is unmatched.

Pre-match at the Annie

First pint with the Spurs regulars. Reading the fan-ownership story on the walls. The walk up to the new stadium. Knowing your money funds community projects.

Heads up: Tuesday quiz nights are a Tottenham institution if there is no game on.

Buy a round, you are funding community projects in Tottenham, not a pub chain's quarterly numbers.

What to order

On the drinks side, whatever cask is on the handpump. A cold lager for the warm-up. A bottle of something local.

From the kitchen, a pie before kick-off. The Sunday roast for early kick-offs.

Who it suits

Spurs fans on a London city trip. Travelling supporters who care about community. Real ale drinkers. Anyone interested in fan ownership stories. Groups who want a meaningful pre-match.

The verdict

The Antwerp is the model for how a fan-owned community pub should work. Drink here with intent.
