The Baring, Hoxton

I don't usually review bars or pubs but as I recently moved to N1 I looked up this site and found good reviews about this place so I've popping in of late. I think this pub is superb.
Really friendly, welcoming staff; comfort food especially the steak pie; quality beers with 4 ales on at last visit and a comfortable and lucky place to watch the football -Arsenal have never lost when I've watched us there. There is an interesting quiz with top 10 lists a great discussion and argument starter and a funny cryptic round that I haven't quite fully understood yet - fortunately other quiz team members have and we finished 3rd last week. I'm working my way to joining the early evening crossword crew but I think I won't be accepted until I've become more of a regular, which I intend to do.Why aren't there more pubs like this one?
