About Toolan's
Toolan's is a traditional Irish pub at 866 High Road in the heart of North Finchley, N12. Independent and family run, it has long been a fixture of the local Irish community, known for a warm, friendly welcome and a well kept pint of Guinness. The pub trades as an unpretentious neighbourhood local rather than a gastropub, with a lively bar-led atmosphere.
Music is central to the pub's character. Toolan's hosts live music through the week, with regular sessions on Wednesdays, an Irish traditional music session on Saturdays and further live performances on Sundays. These evenings draw a mixed local crowd and give the pub the feel of an authentic Irish bar.
Sport is also a big part of the offer. The pub shows major fixtures on its screens, making it a popular spot for watching football and other live sport over a drink. Simple pub food is served alongside the drinks, and reviewers regularly single out the good value.
With its combination of live music, sport and a genuine Irish atmosphere, Toolan's suits anyone looking for a relaxed, community-focused local in North Finchley rather than a polished dining venue.
