Offering trendy electro and dusty vinyl classics at weekends, and live indie in the basement bar on Thursdays, as well as pizza, nice draught beer and a roomy beer garden for smokers, The Hideaway is a bit of a godsend for Archway residents. On a strip between Tufnell Park and Holloway Road otherwise littered with kebab shops and 24 hour mini marts, this is a chilled out, friendly oasis with a cracking music policy.

On our visit this place was packed to the rafters with beautiful young indie chicks and lascivious indie men disguising their advancing years with ridiculous jeans and wispy beards. The band for the evening were Beans on Toast, a sure sign that the place has been adopted by the scene kids north of Camden.

With quality beer and food, very friendly staff and a good looking crowd, this is a proper destination.
