77-78 Chapel Market, Pentonville, London, N1 9EX (View on Google Map)

July 2024 - pub has reopened with two cask beers, before refurb none had been available.

A one-roomed pub with a street corner location, frequented by locals, many from the market and very much a Gunners pub. As yet, no sign of any "Hackney hipsterisation".

The place has been spruced up with newly upholstered seating, repainted on the outside and with a small side-area just off the main bar area. Up to 10 craft kegs, with all the beers listed on a large board. In addition a large fridge in the bar offers a range of bottled beers which can be taken away. Over 50 whiskeys and Bourbons are stocked. There are four screens which show sport, often horse racing.

The Alma does serve food at lunch but as many of their neighbours in the market also do so, customers are free to pick up some delicious street fayre and bring it in to enjoy their lunch - all they ask is that you buy all your drinks here. Toilets are downstairs.

The pub had been linked with the One Mile End Brewery but that brewery has now closed.
