It's a bar really, not a pub basically. It's ok in here. Drinks are quite expensive but that's a given in Camden. Friendly staff, eclectic music and muted tvs. Always seem to have fun in this pub, always a pretty good atmosphere.

MMmmmm
What can i say, not really my thing, but certainly not awful.i use to use it in the 80's when it had a lot of character, sadly thats gone.That said, it is one of the cleanist(if not the cleanist) pubs in Camden Town, so credit for that.Barstaff are friendly as well

Not the worst pub in the world by a long shot but far from the best. Fair range of drinks and prices about par for the area, barstaff are reasonably good once you distract them from more pressing matters like discussing the previous evening's telly.
The main problem I have with this pub is that whilst from the outside it looks very much like a proper pub, and inside it has most of the paraphenalia you would asociate with a proper pub, it has the appearance and air of a brasserie or canteen rather than a pub and as such doesn't lend itself easily to settling down for a good few drinks.

Wandered into this pub with my mates, initially just to use the toilet facilities. But then found we were rather impressed by the music playing, food on offer and general overall atmosphere. Ended up staying for lunch! Very cool pub. Just wondering if anyone knows what cd they were playing? It was funky house.

Baz Tav is spot on. I'm sounding like a scratched record, but it used to be great in here. Now . . . let the poncieness begin! Another refurbishment fuck up that drained every ounce of character from a lovely pub.

Always fancied going in this pub Saturday afternoons pre shopping but it was always packed. Went in not too long ago was seriously disappointed. Dont see what all the fuss is about. Its like a hyped up student knock about place.

Bearable during the day, rubbish in the evening. The opposite to the Oxford Arms, I suppose. Could do with a damn good clean.

Chilled out daytime drinking pub, better-than-average service, friendly staff, decent prices and average pub food. The pub is total bliss to walk into from the bussle of the high street, the staff are great towards you whether you're staying or just using their toilet! It's not big, it's rarely busy, but has a special charm to it amongst it's big, comfy sofas.

Have walked past this place hundreds of times. Walked in once, and that's probably enough. "Dull" is a great word for it.

Pleasant enough pub at lunchtime, food cheap and average, though the veggie burger and goats cheese ravioli were good. Average beer selection, they do have Bombardier but I missed it as it was at the end of the bat. Nice sofas. Friendly barman. Good music. Somehow manages to look cool despite the dregs of Camden on its doorstep..

Rather dull pub, but pleasantly airy for daytime drinking - you don't feel you;re in a cave. Food is chirpy chirpy cheap cheap and vaguely digestible. Selection of beer is OK.
