The Stag Gastro Bar and Restaurant

<

A fresh Gastro-pub just before Enfield town, sitting next to a small village parish, one or two old style cobbled narrow lanes with the eye sore of a bus garage opposite. With fair notice from our party before entering we encounter a heavy male population inside, and although there is no advertising on this part, threesomes and foursomes of middle aged men in controversual attire suggests it’s gay. Narrow bottles of alcohol in optics hang behind the bar, in fornt of a mirror, looking like a poor drinks selection until eyes fall to the fridges which appear well equipped to handle a rush that never comes. Several TVs showing strange MTV style cartoons flicker and buzz with poor reception, all the while boasting a good sound system. The bar is littlered with advertising about snacks, an oversized nut dispenser obstructs my view of the kitchen which serves a closed restaurant upstairs. Curiously the venue doesn’t smell like a bar, just the light fresh air recieved by lungs before entering the dusty streets of enfield. Inside there are only a handful of tables and a narrow walkway so we opt for drinking out front.

Overall the bar respects average prices, with good food but sitting down outside, cheap b&q garden conversation erupts as we becoem uncomfortable, our chatter interrupted as a man carries a small bald kitten into the pub, we exchange worried glances and take our leave - 6/10

    This is a gem of a pub. It is mainly populated by gay men. Really good prices and a good selection of drinks.

    This is not a gay pub and I should know! However, Friday and Saturday nights are mostly well to do 40+ who don’t mind the higher prices and prefer the decor (leather and wood).

    This pub is getting very populated by gay men, just how I like it. Good party atmosphere and location.

    I was a young first timer. The people was fantastic in a gay pub. Lets just say I am not a first timer. Thank you Dave. X

    Does anyone know if the pub is going to hold a gay night for gay pride? Does any one gay wanna meet up there (male/female, young/older), don’t know that many gay guys in Enfield. 23 years old and new to the scene.
