About The Bohemia
The Bohemia sits on the High Road in North Finchley and is the home of the London Brewing Company, which brews its beer on the premises. The pub pours a wide range of house craft beers across a large bank of taps and handpulls, from cask ales and best bitters to IPAs and pale ales, alongside guest brews and classic cocktails. It is a proper neighbourhood brewpub built around what is made on site.
Food is a core part of the offer, with a seasonal, regularly changing menu cooked in house. The kitchen runs from pub classics and burgers through to small plates and larger sharing dishes, with vegan options and Sunday roasts. Weekday deals are a fixture, including half-price burgers on Mondays and wings on Wednesdays.
The events calendar is busy and varied. A weekly quiz runs on Tuesday evenings, live solo acts play the main bar every Friday night with free entry, and a monthly comedy night brings a lineup of stand-ups to the venue. The basement cellar bar hosts the B3 Lounge, a Hammond organ dedicated space that stages live jazz, funk and blues on alternating Sundays.
The Bohemia is dog-friendly throughout, with water bowls and treats for four-legged visitors, and it has outdoor space including a garden and terrace for warmer days. Between the on-site brewery, the food, and the regular music, quiz and comedy nights, it works equally well as a casual local and as a destination for an evening out.
