The King's Head Barnet: Pub in London
The King's Head is a Barnet local where the regulars know the score. You'll find quiz nights mid-week, karaoke taking over Fridays and Saturdays, and live music rotating through. It's the kind of place where the programming is built on participation: you're here to sing, answer trivia, or catch a band, not just stand at the bar and wait. The food keeps things grounded and sensible. North London pubs like this one thrive on the crowd showing up week after week for the same reliable rhythm, and that consistency matters. It's unpretentious, properly social, the sort of spot you'd bring mates to knowing exactly what you're walking into.

About The King's Head Barnet
The King's Head is a one-bar McMullen pub on Barnet High Street, standing in the shadow of Barnet parish church. It reopened in late May 2025 following a refurbishment and trades as a lively high-street sports and live music venue. It pours a mix of regular and changing McMullen and guest cask ales alongside a wider drinks selection.
Entertainment is the pub's main identity. Live music plays on most Saturdays, with a live band on the third Saturday of the month, and there is live music on Sunday afternoons. Karaoke runs on Friday and Saturday nights, and a quiz takes place on Thursdays, giving the pub a busy weekly calendar of events.
Sport is shown on Sky television, and pub games are well provided for, with both a pool table and a darts board on site. The pub has been noted for its friendly staff and management, and offers food including a Thai menu alongside its drinks.
Outside there is a side patio and rear garden for warmer days, plus a small amount of parking accessed via Moxon Street. Families are welcome until 9pm. As the pub reopened relatively recently, trading hours may still vary, so it is worth checking ahead before a visit.
