The 7 best Spurs pubs in London to watch the 2025 Europa League final
Naysayers argue that nobody cares about the Europa League, but it's a crunch game for both of the 'Big Six' teams. With the pair looking set to finish in the bottom quarter of the Premier League, victory is their only avenue for securing European football in the 2025/26 campaign, and allows one of them to salvage something from a torrid season.
For Spurs, it would also mean securing a first piece of silverware since 2008, and the club's first European trophy since 1984, ending a trophy drought that weights more heavily on the storied club with each passing season.
Many local fans will be heading to the boozers and beer gardens of north London to watch Ange Postecoglou's team face the Red Devils. Looking for a lively atmosphere in which to catch all the nail-biting action? Look no further than our roundup of London's best Spurs pubs.
The Bluecoats
Once home to the Bluecoats School for Girls, this quaint Jacobethan building was built in the mid-1830s, but has more recently been the site of solid match day boozing thanks to its proximity to the Spurs stadium. You won't need a reservation for the big match, but you will need to head down early as the place will be open from midday. Fans can fuel up ahead on resident kitchen Ling Lins's banging Asian fusion pub classics ahead of kick-off, and the place has secured a 2am license in case the north Londoners have cause for celebration.
614 High Road, N17 9TA
The Bricklayers
This small-ish Victorian pub is so close to the stadium that you can see it from the front windows, and on home matchdays punters can almost certainly hear the roar from the spectators inside should the team score. Decked out in all manner of Spurs memorabilia and a collection of scarves from visiting teams, it offers a lively, standing-room-only match-day atmosphere, with fans piling into its modest, covered beer garden to watch on outdoor screens. It doesn't do bookings, so get down early to ensure you make it inside (and have time to battle through the crowds at the bar for some pints!)
803 High Road, N17 8ER
The Beehive
A great spot just off Tottenham High Road, this spacious boozer boasts one of the nicest beer gardens in north London, with plenty of screens and an outdoor bar for busy matchdays, plus a very decent menu serving up generously portioned burgers, nachos and sharing platters. It doesn't take bookings when there's a big game on, so get down ahead of its 3pm opening and be prepared to queue if you want to secure a spot.
Stoneleigh Road, N17 9JW
The Antwerp Arms
The oldest operating pub in N17, the 'Annie' has been frequented by Spurs fans since the club's inception in 1882, and was saved from redevelopment in 2015, when locals formed the Antwerp Arms Association to purchase the building and reopen it as north London's community-owned pub. Tables are all fully booked for the Europa League Final but the pub will be accepting a limited number of walk-ins, who will be able to celebrate (or commiserate) with pints of White Hart lager on keg, and Hopspur golden ale on cask.
168-170 Church Road, N17 8AS
The Bill Nicholson
This old-school boozer on the north-east corner of the stadium is named after Spurs' legendary 1960s manager, who led the club to a double in the 1960-61 season. With carved wooden bar and black and white framed photographs lining the walls, its interiors hark back to that golden era. Open from 1pm, it doesn't do bookings but will close the doors as soon as it reaches capacity, so be punctual!
102 Northumberland Park, N17 0TS
The High Cross
Opened in 2018 in a 1920s mock Tudor building that once housed public loos, the High Cross is a cute little spot slightly further away from the stadium than most match day favourites. Open from midday, it's not taking any more bookings for the big match, but has saved some tables for walk-ins.

Rio Ferdinand can't believe what he's seen from Arsenal star - 'He is a joke'
Max Dowman's prodigious talent has made the 15-year-old midfielder impossible for Mikel Arteta to overlook, with the England youngster now being touted as one to watch by Rio Ferdinand Rio Ferdinand has been left in awe of Arsenal wonderkid Max Dowman following the teenager's pre-season display against AC Milan. Manchester United legend Ferdinand named him as the best 15-year-old talent in the world, while stating: 'He is a joke'. Those affiliated with Arsenal will be well aware of the phenomenal talent Dowman possesses, having tracked his progress through the youth team ranks. Despite his tender age, the left-footed attacking-midfielder has been fast-tracked into the first team, training with the Gunners' senior squad from the beginning of this year. Dowman was part of the squad Mikel Arteta took to Spain for a training camp last week and, on Wednesday, came off the bench at the 65-minute mark to face AC Milan during the team's pre-season game in Singapore. The England U17s sensation played in the right wing position, looking sharp and comfortable whenever in possession while scoring Arsenal's sixth penalty in a pre-arranged penalty shootout. His scintillating cameo sent a clear message that he's ready to be called upon by Arteta when the 2025/26 gets underway. Former TNT Sports pundit Ferdinand is one of many to jump on the Dowman hype train, having been left dazzled by what he's seen so far. He said on Rio Ferdinand Presents: 'There's a different energy about me when I'm talking about young players. Young players that get you off your seat. Who you watch and you just go, 'Ooh, give me some more of that'. 'I spoke about him in November by the way, Max Dowman, don't forget that name guys. Hale End at Arsenal have produced another young gem. They've got Ethan Nwaneri already and Bukayo Saka who's an elder statesman now in the changing room. 'And 15-year-old Dowman knocking about now. If you haven't seen the clips I advise you to go online. Look, it's early days… But it looks like Declan Rice has taken him under his wing, they took a selfie together. 'He's definitely the best 15-year-old in the country, probably in Europe right now. Maybe the world. 'I keep seeing people saying, 'Don't overhype' - what are we in football for? We're here to be entertained, to get excited about young talent and appreciate it. I love it. I want to see the young players coming up. 'Go and see what this kid was doing in the FA Youth Cup game last year against Manchester United. He is a joke. And what I'm hearing from the Arsenal camp is that he's transferring his ability shown in the youth team to when he's training with the first team. 'The players are going, 'Woah', it's ridiculous so long may this continue and I hope we talk more and more about Dowman as the season goes on.' Statistics go some way to painting a picture of Dowman's enormous potential. He was only 13 when he became the youngest player to play for Arsenal's Under-18s and was just 14 when he first featured for the Under-21s, again setting a new record. In September last year, he became the youngest player ever to score in the UEFA Youth League. For England, too, Dowman has been far ahead of the curve, playing and scoring for England's Under-17s when he was 14. At this summer's Under-17 European Championship, he was the youngest player at the entire tournament but started all three of England's matches, scoring a stunning solo goal against the Czech Republic. The FA Youth Cup quarter-final against Manchester United in February provided the first moment of awe for many Arsenal fans. Playing at the Emirates Stadium in their Under-18s side, Dowman was on an entirely different level to the other players on the field. The only way that the United players could deal with him was to kick him from behind. Arsenal Player of the Season Rice backed up Ferdinand's comments in March, having said: 'He is unreal,' while describing him as 'the best 15-year-old in the country'. Even Arteta, whose first thought is usually to protect youngsters from too much expectation, has admitted: 'Some of the things he does in training are unbelievable'.

Man Utd transfer news: Star considers exit as Old Trafford stance on new striker emerges
Manchester United still have work to do in the transfer market with a number of sales to make before they can add new players for Ruben Amorim with weeks remaining of the transfer window Just three weeks remain until the start of the Premier League season as Ruben Amorim shapes his new squad. The Red Devils are looking to bounce back from a disappointing season that saw a 15th place finish in the top-flight. United have added Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Diego Leon in time for their tour of the United States. The Red Devils have replenished their forward line in their bid to solve goalscoring issues but are yet to add a true striker to their squad. United have been linked to the likes of Ollie Watkins and Benjamin Sesko as the club continue to monitor opportunities. But exits may be required before another deal is done in the north west. Marcus Rashford has finally departed but just on loan and United will hope for transfer fees to bolster their kitty for the final weeks. Alejandro Garnacho, Jadon Sancho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are all up for sale but yet to find new clubs this summer. Star considers exit Luke Shaw is 'ready to quit' Manchester United and willing to listen to offers from other clubs. The 30-year-old defender is reported to be aware of 'serious' interest from Saudi Arabia and mulling a departure in the coming months. Shaw is said to understand that his decade-long United career could be coming to an end with competition in his position from new additions Patrick Dorgu and Diego Leon. Amorim is said to be in no rush to lose Shaw however, despite the injury-plagued star's £150,000-a-week wages. New suitors Two clubs from the Saudi Pro League are interested in signing Antony from Manchester United. The Brazilian winger has been left out of United's pre-season tour squad having spent the second half of last season on loan at Real Betis. The La Liga side have yet to agree a deal for the former Ajax star who impressed in La Liga last term. United want to seal a permanent exit and transfer fee for the player, with Betis thus far unwilling to make an offer that meets United's demands. Antony has also been linked too Erik ten Hag's new side Bayer Leverkusen. The Dutch coach pushed back on the chance of a move however, and said: "We're not interested in him at the moment, but we'll see what happens in the future." Stance on a new striker An imminent move for a striker is not expected from Manchester United after signing Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, per the Manchester Evening News. The Red Devils have been linked with signing a new out-and-out forward but have thus far not seen progress with sales required to bolster their transfer funds. The club's plans were stalled when Liam Delap chose to sign for Chelsea instead of moving to Old Trafford. Nevertheless, Ruben Amorim is pleased with how his squad is shaping up. United have not ruled out a move for a new goalscorer however and are assessing what is feasible in the coming weeks. Sales are said to be 'essential' despite being provided some financial headroom by Marcus Rashford's loan move.
