About The Hare & Hounds
The premises at 181 Upper Street carried the name Hare & Hounds since the 18th century; today it reclaims that identity as a two-floor gastropub with a carefully made cocktail list.
The building has housed a pub under the name Hare & Hounds since the 18th century; after several changes of identity, the current team has revived that name for this gastropub spread across two floors, with a lounge upstairs and the main bar below. The menu combines contemporary British dishes with international nods and signature cocktails.
On tap
Classic and signature cocktails, a selection of international wines and quality beer.
Food
A gastropub menu that runs from bar snacks to mains; the Sunday roast is one of its draws.
