Big Red is a late night bar at 385 Holloway Road with the character of an American dive bar. Rock and metal music, memorabilia, booths and contactless pool tables create an informal setting that becomes especially lively on Arsenal match days and later in the evening.
The food centres on burgers, wings and ribs, with box meals combining a main, fries, chicken and a side for a complete meal. Smashed beef patties and buttermilk chicken burgers can be customised, while wraps and other handheld options suit a quick bite between drinks.
Chicken wings, boneless thighs, loaded fries, nachos and corn ribs are well suited to sharing across a table. Vegan burgers and vegetable wraps provide alternatives to the meat heavy core, and desserts such as chocolate cake or waffles offer a simple finish.
Beer pitchers, draught lager, cider and a broad cocktail selection reinforce the bar’s social focus. Food, pool, late opening and a relaxed crowd make Big Red a natural choice for groups looking for an unfussy meal before settling in for music and drinks.
Address: 385 Holloway Road, London N7 0RY, England
