Update June 2021 - "on passing last night, the pumps have gone."
All the Winnicott pubs closed in 2017 as the group went into financial problems. This one has now re-opened. From a Press Release.
"Alma team opens rock ‘n’ roll pub in Stoke Newington: The team behind award-winning north London pub The Alma have launched a rock ‘n’ roll pub in Stoke Newington. Be-Bop-A-Lula is a 1950s-themed pub that has opened in Green Lanes offering American-style diner food and decor featuring guitars and other rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia. The menu features burgers such as the Chick Berry, little bites such as Jailhouse Bait, and rock ‘n’ roast dinners including roast rib eye cut of beef. The menu also offers stone-baked pizza, the Famous Elvis Sandwich, and desserts such as American Pie. The drinks list features US and UK craft beer including offerings from Islington-based Hammerton Brewery, Hot Dinners reports."
As The Winnicott - Reopened 19th August 2015 after a long period of closure. The re-opening has led to the re-emergence of the fine exterior Charrington's fascia and tiling. This leads into what is essentially a single room wrapped around a long bar with the kitchen at one end. The bar extends the length of the pub and with discrete low lighting and a judicious use of candles, an intimate atmosphere results. Plenty of bar stools by the bar and a mixture of small and larger tables for various sized groups.
