I was a regular in the early nineties before I knew better. About the best thing you can say now is that you could probably pop in to use the loo when shopping in the area without being molested...probably. The most scandalous aspect is the appropriation of a nearby, much better pub's name.

I have never had a pint in this pub, however I am forced to walk past it everyday. I often arrive home in tears due to the lewd comments i am subjected to from the clientel who drink on the pavement outside. This would never happen outside the bar fly or The Loch tavern. Chalk farm would be better of if this blight on society could be removed.

Not as bad as everyone makes out to be. It's cheap place in camden, use to have the BEST barman, but not anymore (left few months ago). Great metal band on sunday's so what more can you ask.

Came in recently with some friends and met the most miserable bar man ever. Dont think I will be returning.

Its Not A Wetherspoons Anymore

Went in here last Saturday. The pub was dirty, the toilets were disgusting. Wetherspoons usually pride themselves on keeping the loos clean, yet it looked like nobody had been in there for weeks. It's good for cheap beers, but that's about it.

Horrible! council estate tenants in a Butlins holiday camp. Geriatric drinkers half of whom may already be dead? Atmosphere of a smelly, smokey morgue!

Despite all appearances, this pub isn't actually a Wetherspoons anymore. Consequently, their beer's not quite so varied (no Baltika for me), and they don't take credit cards.
The pub itself is nothing special, but a relatively quiet place to have a pint and a chat if you find yourself in Camden on a Friday night.

Never been in as too many people have warned me off the place. Walking past (quickly), as I regularly do, is more than enough from what I've seen through the windows.

More of a day centre than a pub...

A typical Weatherspoons pub, no soul or atmosphere.

I go here quite often because of gigs at the barfly, so much so that I take to ducking out in between each band. The ale is excellent and cheap (recently had a special on Old Bob for 80 pence) but the people can be on the scary side of clinically insane, whilst the old guy who blew his nose and then deliberately let his snot run off his hanky and onto the floor is surely one of the most distrubing things I've witnessed.
Also, only eat here if you're a gambling person. Have an accumulator on 1) how long it will take to get there 2) how many times you'll have to take it back 3) how often the staff will apologise 4) how edible it is and 5) how sick you'll get.
Despite all of that, it still gets a 6 out of 10. Just for the range and quality of the ale.

It canot be denied. Man in the Moon is simply the best pubever to have existed and probably the best pub which will ever exist. I am no alcoholic but this place is my second home. It's relaxed, has a great atmosphere and the bar men are very cute. Cannot reccoment this pub enough

One of the better Wetherspoons pubs in London. Decent bar service and you can usually get a table. Good place to meet people before going to the Barfly.

The Man In The Moon isn't that bad at all - for a Weatherspoons. If you want to avoid the young media types at the Lock Tavern and would rather have a quiet/cheap pint, this is the place for you. Mixed crowd and ok decor. Enjoy!
P.S. The beer garden is not so much a garden but more of a very small patio.

Pretty basic Wetherspoon boozer - not ideal, but often it's a reliable bet for a half-decent drink in Camden.

Now, this is from the old school of Wetherspoons and previously to tonight owns the trophy for the worst food service I have ever experienced. I had to wait two hours for a boil in the bag curry once. This pub has lots of old men. No sexy dollies and cheap beer. The men are fun…plenty of stories to be told so just go in there, wrap yourself around a pint of Duggies Dozen or Bulldozers revenge (Fictional beers!!) and get chatting to the wrinklies
