Its not that the Queen's doesnt have potential. Its that it does, but the landlord thinks that it is already the best pub in the world and therefore it has a pretentious atmosphere, rude staff (particularly the woman manager) and expensive drinks. I like the place, I dont like the way it is run.

Not sure if they just renovated, but I didn't find this pub scruffy at all - quite the opposite. It was very nice indeed (although perhaps my definition of scruffy differs from that of the average Primrose Hill resident!) Also found staff helpful and good selection...
Maybe they were just having a good day?

I love this place. I used to live in London and my friends and I loved to meet up here for an all day drink. Love those comfy seats by the window! Always great people in. Food upstairs is lovely! Remember to get that cheese plate for dessert.
I return here everytime I come back to London for a visit.

Staff attentive. Atmosphere jovial. Nice location. Main bar smokey and with little ventilation. The Youngs Bitter was badly kept.

I agree. Rude and slow staff and the food used to be so much better. The place looks too scruffy for the area. Great location, but that's it

Im not a great fan either. I found the male bar staff rude. Always feels a bit too hot and stuffy. Food used to be better than it is now-did they cange the chef?Feel more relaxed in the Queens no 1.Shame

Didn't like this place. It has a great location, and I normally love Young's - but this place lacks atmosphere and the staff are rubbish. Add to this the fact that they only do Young's ordinary and special (no seasonals and no bottles other than the rubbish ram rod) and I give this a big thumbs down.

lovely, great staff, friendly punters and cosy... I have to say the friendliset pub in Primrose hill.

The best pub in Primrose Hill, but that's not saying much really. It had Smiles ale on tap when I was there. And that by itself will have me making a repeat visit if I ever happen to accidentally wander into the area again.

Thursday nights they have a DJ who plays funky laid back jazzy tunes... nice food too and friendly staff - definite place to chill for a while.

Nice pub for a Friday afternoon when you should be at work. Proper beer, slightly poncey food, but a nice location on the edge of the park.

For PH this isn't too bad. Can get very busy as it's narrow. As ever, though, my lager was warm.

Considering how close this pub is to the epicentre of cool, it is remarkable that it as managed to retain a strong local following. The Fullers is a tad watery, but other than that....cracking!!!!

Two words: Good pub!

Fantastic location right next to Primrose Hill, great for a cooling pint after a strenuous day of doing nothing. The decor is nothing to write home about. Food is above average - there is a restaurant area upstairs if you want a bit more space.

Very cosy, dark wood bar, with open fire. Very friendly staff. Lots of dogs with owners on sunday afternoons. Good bar-food and Sports TV in one corner. Perfect.
