Fantastic, real pub that might appear gastrofied but is still a boozer at heart. Some hysterically bad paintings on the wall to keep you entertained too.

a few years back this pub used to be packed with great food, now its dead and sells crappy thai food like most irish boozers, what ever happened to that lovely family from liverpool???? bring them back!!

Very good pub slightly off the beaten track. Enough of a buzzing atmosphere, but also good if you're not after the full-on Camden experience.

Nice laid back pub round the corner from Camden Road BR. Not a huge choice of beers, but very friendly bar staff and confortable sofas. Definitely worth looking in on.

Lovely barmaid, pleasant interior and nice atmosphere. Beer selection is very disappointing - only GK ales, Guinness and very standard lagers. If I lived in the area I'd probably use the place fairly often but as its not in my hood I doubt I'll return.

Really nice and friendly place with comfy sofas, good food and a nice atmosphere. Me and my girlfriend regularly go here on a Sunday to read the papers, have Sunday roast and chill out. The quiz on a Thursday night is something of an experience, think its easier if you are Irish and are into books and 'filums'!

A really nice comfortable pub with a nice ambiance -however I wouldn't go there for thai food. I went there with my girlfriend and between us we ordered a pad thai and green curry. Neither was good and the portions were small. Perhaps we should have ordered one of the reccommended dishes.

The most comfy sofas ever at the back. Just make sure you get there early to grab them. Quiz night is a laugh and the staff are friendly, friendly enough to sit down and share their lunch with you. Not many other pubs in london can claim to be that nice.

Discovered this by accident the other night, not a bad little boozer. The natives seem friendly enough, beer an avarage price for the area, the Thai food looked inviting.Nice little patio garden out the back.
Will probable return in due course.

PS Are there any young Polish females left in Poland, as they all seem to be working behind bars in London!

Lovely Pub, Comfortable Sofas, Candlelight, Good and Reasonable Thai Food

And if you go on a Friday or Saturday night (and maybe even other nights), you can follow the staff down the well-worn trail for a late one at Quinn's. I love staff who enjoy their alcohol just as much as their customers, and on occasions can be even drunker than their customers. Too many pubs, especially London pubs, are run by control-freaks or people who want to be big-time charlies and boss people about before then sleazing onto the women patrons. Basically a revenge for being bullied at school. They probably don't even like alcohol. I think I've digressed somewhat.

Funnily enough I was there with John (below) on the day he mentions and have just discovered his comment now. I'm happy to back up my old chum all the way on this one.

Being from the reasonably nearby Kilburn I have probably had 400 nights out in Camden by now yet only stumbled upon the Old Eagle on Sunday. Must have been walking round with my eyes shut all these years. It's a really pretty pub, huge windows, nice art on the walls, comfy sofas, friendly barstaff who were more than happy to charge my dying mobile, and a small beer garden out the back which was very cosy. Well impressed, highly recommended.

Pub has gone downhill. Staff aren't as friendly since my last visit back in January 2004. Had lunch on Tuesday which tasted as if it was covered in vinegar. Very disappointing!

Really nice pub, excellent ales (GK IPA & Old Speckled Hen) served well by friendly staff. Excellent food, great burgers, average fish and chips. Soft jazz in the background and dubious art on the walls, plus a small beer garden. Upmarket clientele, plus some people in there to drink beer. Lovely.

Lovely food and really good service and ambience, (loos are great too) - and the Quiz is really terrific - Tommy, the quizmaster is quite extraordinary!

One of the few traditional pubs in Camden which offers traditional homemade food, cask ales and a very friendly service. The pub also has a beer garden which is available for hire for private parties. The pub has a quiz every Tuesday night at 8.30pm which is very popular. The pub has an Irish evening every Wednesday which welcomes everyone.
