The Beehive is a proper old Tottenham boozer tucked just off the High Road on Stoneleigh Road, a short walk from Bruce Grove station. It is a Grade II listed Brewer's Tudor pub with a 1927 interior CAMRA lists on its inventory of historic pub interiors, so the panelled bar, brass fittings and stained glass are the real thing. For darts, the draw is the games room: a traditional steel-tip dartboard sits alongside a pool table and a big screen, and casual play is free. Beginners are made welcome and groups are easy to fit in. There is homecooked pub grub from the kitchen, a changing cask ale, and a sheltered, heated beer garden out back. Come for an unhurried throw with a pint, not a slick bookable oche.

The darts setup

Darts here live in the games room rather than on a dedicated wall of oches. You get one traditional steel-tip dartboard, set up next to a pool table and a large TV showing Sky and BT Sport. It is bring-your-own-arrows casual play, free to throw, with no automatic scoring and no soft-tip machines. There is a nice bit of history too: CAMRA's heritage record notes the pub's original 1927 fit-out retains two cased-in dart boards as part of the listed interior. Once a month the room hosts a friendly tournament where teams of up to five play for bar-tab prizes, so there is a competitive night if you want one.

Good to know

You can just walk in and play; casual darts are free and no booking is needed. If you want the games room to yourselves, it is hireable as a private space from £50 per hour, seating around 25 with room for 30 standing. The kitchen does classic pub food, burgers and fish and chips, with Sunday roasts in the colder months, and there is a single changing cask ale plus the usual draught. Out back is a sheltered, heated beer garden. The pub opens from 15:00 Monday to Friday and from noon at weekends, with later 01:00 closes on Friday and Saturday.

Getting there

The Beehive sits on Stoneleigh Road, a quiet side street just off Tottenham High Road, postcode N17 9BQ. The closest station is Bruce Grove Overground, barely 100 metres away, which makes it an easy stop on the way in or out. Tottenham Hale, with the Victoria line and National Rail, is about 900 metres away, roughly a 10 to 12 minute walk. Several bus routes run along the High Road within 100 metres of the door, so you are well covered whichever way you come. If you are heading to a Spurs game, it is a short walk from the wider Tottenham ground area.
