Yes I smell a rat as well - four glowing reviews by four reviewers who all joined on the same day. What a coincidence - it comes to something when a pub has to write its own reviews and i'll eat my hat if this place gives free champagne to anyone! Had a few expensive pints there and it was ok - but nothing to write home about. The Constitution round the corner is leagues ahead.

I'm almost certain the pub itself is decent for drinking, unfortunately I was eating there as well. Pork belly should read pork scratching. The food on Monday night was simply dire. The single waiter did his best but failed to mention the elements of the dishes that would be missing when the food arrived. One can only assume the chef was having a night off. Eating there was an unenjoyable and consequently expensive disappointment.

Five people posting very complimentary reviews on the same day and it's all their first and only pub review on the site.
I think I smell a rodent.
Been meaning to go here since it reopened, but can't resist the nearby Constitution. It doesn't look too bad to be honest, a bit gastro'd up perhaps, but almost certainly an improvement on what was there before.

went here on a date a couple of weeks ago...nice atmopshere with helpful staff...and the food was great too, would definately recommend this pub..

The Prince Albert has something for every one, and it has been achieved with effortless style. We had a choice between the Crown and Goose and The Prince Albert, we chose The Prince Albert and are very happy that we did - it's got excellent service, good food and is a great place to visit again, again, again and again. We live nearby and have confidently decided we'll be visiting The Prince Albert on a regular basis. Trust me you have to visit this place at least once and you'll know what I'm talking about.
Few pubs can give so much and succeed, but here they do, so sit back, relax, and, as if by accident, be entertained by the energy and good vibes surrounding you. Five star * * * * *

Best Pub ever! Went out with some friends there, few nights ago, we had a great night, the food was excellent, the staff we really polite and helpiful, really enjoyed the night, a place I would definetly recommend, with a terrific atmosphere. Just round the corner from the tube so was easy to get back.

Had a wonderful night there last night.Took some friends to celebrate my engagement and when the staff relized what we were celebrating they treated us to a bottle of champers!Upstairs in the resturant the food was excellent and the chef came around to check all was O.K.Overall i can really recomend this pub and only hope the standards are kept up.Brill

having recently eaten here i can say the food was of good quality and reasonably priced. the real ale was excellant but somewhat expensive .

I have never subscribed to a review site - until today that is. But, I had such a disappointing evening at this so-called gastro-pub last night, that I feel compelled to inform other prospective customers.
I had arranged to meet a dear friend inside the pub - our plan being to catch up on the past month's news while eating some decent food. If we wanted to be deafened by loud rock music and served by surly, 'couldn't-care-less' staff, I know plenty other pubs in Camden that could fit this bill. The Prince Albert, however, excelled at both.
When we asked if the music could be turned down, as we were trying to have a conversation (not an unreasonable request, given the place is now marketed as a place to eat) the barman had to ask me to repeat myself 3 times, as he couldn't hear my request!
The music was turned down a notch for about five minutes, before being racked up louder than before. As we were the only two customers in the whole of the pub, I have to assume the music (a Bon Jovi number!) was being played to entertain us. We weren't. We left.
Starving, and with our ears ringing, we dragged our weary bodies over to Crown and Goose where we inhaled a quite decent meal in civilised, quiet surroundings

I was disgusted at the food I was served it was awful we requested a medium steak and a ceaser salad when I received my steak it was RAW I asked for it to be cooked correctly it came back to my table RAW.
The salad my wife ordered was not cleaned it had traces of dirt everywhere!
We was so annoyed we do not intend to go there again as the service was ok but the food is not cooked correctly!

Went there for Sunday roast last weekend - absolutely top notch. Good food, reasonable price and killer desserts - plus ate out in the garden. Will be back.

The prince Albert has recently been re-opened. A restaurant has been added to the first floor and they also serve food in the bar.
Visited last friday evening and enjoyed the atmosphere. great to see this great location re-opened. Bravo
|
Now open! Went there recently and they were giving away tasty bits and pieces from their menu...impressive. Place looks great too, and comfortable!
|
Someone is looking for a kitchen team for it so might not be flats but another gastro pub. Last time i associated gastro with pub food it was a bad thing
|
looks nice in the photo, but it is now closed and being converted into flats.
|
What a surprise...Lovely friendly local. Good guinness poured correctly by friendly bar staff. Also great home cooked food. The atmosphere was brilliant and if i'm every in the area again I'll def visit. What a joy to find a real pub in these days of chain managed pubs who couldn't care if you return or not.
A GENUINE PLEASURE.

Friendly, unpretentious, great place for a quiet drink.
|
A decent enough local, although I don't recall any ale when I visited sometime last year. I sat outside too, so am gutted to learn there's a good jukebox to be found. The leader of the local Hells Angels was drinking in there when I was there (my girlfriend knows who he is from a previous life as a barmaid at another pub) and his stunning bike was parked outside. The best bit though was two disgraceful old drunk slappers who decided to sit on it. I was watching through my fingers and waiting for it all to kick off but he didn't see them and I didn't witness a murder.

love this pub, laid back, ordinary, good jukebox, not bad prices, a little outside area to sit that doesnt get too full
