The Highbury Brewery Tap was situated at 54 Holloway Road. This pub was last used as a bar called Barcosa. Also known as The Tank, The Beer House, The Flounder & Firkin and The Lamb.

This pub has now reopened as The Lamb.

I drank in The Brewery Tap, Holloway Rd, London in mid 60s. It was frequented by Irish navvies working on the Victoria Line construction.  I was on £20 a week then with Express Lifts. ( which was good money, or so I thought) As I recollect they were on huge wages, but somehow managed to squander the lot and some were running a tab.
