About The Black Horse Barnet
The Black Horse is a characterful traditional pub on the corner of Wood Street in High Barnet, EN5. Steeped in history dating back to the 18th century, when it was a busy hub during the Barnet Common sheep fairs, it combines a bar, a dining section and generous outdoor space. It remains a firm favourite with locals.
The pub's standout feature is its own on-site microbrewery, the Barnet Brewery, tucked away at the back of the building. The head brewer produces real ale weekly, ranging from pilsners and light ales through to dark, rich bitters, so there is always a good, locally brewed selection on the bar.
Outside there is a beer garden along with a so-called secret gin garden that comes into its own in the warmer months. Dogs are welcome in the bar and garden areas until the evening, and food is served for those who want to make a meal of it.
The Black Horse also runs a popular weekly quiz on Wednesday evenings, hosted with a small entry fee. Between the quiz, the gardens and the house-brewed ales, it offers a genuinely local, community-minded night out in Barnet.
