About The Hercules
A mid-19th-century corner pub, refurbished in 2022, with bare wood floors and original exposed brick.
With almost a century and a half of history, the Hercules is one of the Holloway Road pubs that best keeps the spirit of a proper local, now with a 2022 refurbishment that left bare wood floors and exposed brick walls. It's well known among regulars for its pint of Guinness, and offers live music at weekends and bingo on Thursdays, plus screens for football and GAA.
On tap
