Mother Kelly's Tottenham

You may have been to another Mother Kelly's so you know the drill.. lots of beers, ever-changing, on tap. A snack if needed. A few cocktails/wines. But this feels different. Not just the cavernous inside, and the industrial feel, making it feel very Berlin circa 1982 (helped by the sound track). It just feels different. The staff know their beers, of course, as would be expected. There are a few tables outside. And nice touch with the beer-tap taps in the unisex toilets. And if nothing else, the walk down Ashley Road from Tottenham Hale station gives you an insight into what they've done to this area, and are still doing. In a few years this may very well be the place to live in London. Talking about the station: if your train is delayed you could do worse than walking the 2 minutes to Mother Kelly's for a swift pint or two. I'll be back next time my train isn't on the platform!

Much needed addition to the area and close enough to the Tottenham Hale station for a pint when you've missed your train. Good ambience, friendly staff and a solid offering on tap. On the pricer side but that's expected due to the nature of their offering. Still has that new smell to the place.

Great choice, but a bit cheeky with the menu showing prices under £7 when they're not full pints, to deceive you thinking they're reasonably priced

Everything a modern bar should be. Love the place. A regular stop on the pilgrimage from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to Tottenham Hale Station. The bar keeps are good characters and have good knowledge of the drinks on offer and they also have the best non alcoholic beers money can buy. They even have one on tap. They seem to have a medicine for all the heartache we Spurs fans go through. Technically it's therapy I suppose. They also have some wonderful Whiskeys (and Wines, so I was told.)

Located within a short walking distance from Tottenham Hale station and tucked underneath one of the new housing developments. I was immediately struck by the sheer size of the venue with it's high ceilings and cold industrial feel. I think when it's busy and full of punters it would feel slightly different. A large mural adorns the wall facing the entrance giving the space a little more character. Their bar follows the same form factor as a number of the their other bars, a large walk in fridge with a steel plate running the length. A generous amount of beer lines mostly focusing on pale, sour and lager styles. The setup appears to be direct draw meaning the beer travels through a much shorter length of line. Sadly upon my visit when I asked about the beers on offer the lady behind the bar told me she didn't drink and had no beer knowledge. I was poured a beer into a very dirty glass with all the bubbles clinging to the sides. I politely asked for the glass to be changed but alas a new glass brought no respite from pesky nucleation. Of course a few firm taps of the glass will help abate the bubble build up but it's still inexcusable for a new bar selling premium beer at premium prices. First impressions mean a lot . I have faith things will improve and these are just teething issues. A worthwhile visit if you find yourself in the area.

I’ve recently moved to the area, and Mother Kelly’s would be considered my local. However, after a couple of visits, I just can’t work the place out. It feels like it’s having a bit of an identity crisis, and the staff come across as quite miserable and rude. The venue has real potential to be a go-to spot in the area, but it lacks personality and doesn’t seem to adapt to what would actually work well here. The only time there’s any sort of atmosphere is on game days aside from that, it’s completely dead. It’s a real shame, as I genuinely think it could be a great and busy place with the right changes.

Odd selection of beers - although a large number of options - and pricey but the space is good, and it is a good offering for the area. Would be a good place to meet as a group

New modern craft beer hall in Tottenham with 20 or so beers, 7 of which are wild / sour. Good selection of IPAs, stouts and lagers. Sadly, no cask ale. Some nice snacky meze type food, price per pint in the £6 to £7 ball park. Decent.
