Was there for the free quiz night on Monday which was very enjoyable, the charismatic Irish landlord created a fantastic atmosphere and clearly it is a favourite among locals, who were just as friendly. These kind of old school, regulars joints are sometimes depressing but this place has a very welcoming, humoured atmosphere indeed. A very reasonable food selection was also offered to quiz participants.
Guinness was well kept and they had real ale on tap too.
Celtic memorabilia cover the walls but I would not describe this as an Irish pub as such.
8/10, probably the best pub on that side of Camden Town.
Also have brilliant drinks deals on (bottle of magners or bulmers for £3 each at the moment)

Excellent "wit" beer.
Very busy, but no problem with service at bar. Quite pricey, but that's Camden for you
The interior is definitely more attractive and comfortable now and the choice of ales a lot better BUT £11 for two drinks?? AND I had to ask for a top-up
A Youngs pub offering 6 hand pulls, 3 of which are Young’s own ales and 3 guest plus your other usual beers, wines and spirits.
Incredibly friendly and efficient bar staff; and because it’s not around the canal area, you don’t get the tourists which is nice, and I’d say there are a few locals.
Some would say this place is quite expensive for both food and drinks, I didn’t think for Camden it was that bad until I popped over the road to The Earl of Camden… but that’s a whole other review!
I do genuinely like this pub, however the toilets are a hideous disappointment! They are not the most pleasant ones I have been in, and I must admit I was quite surprised based on the standard of the rest of the pub.

Unfortunately, as always the drinks are far too expensive just because of the usual tourists, foreign and domestic, making it a sellers’ market.
The staff, although polite (except one moody bird) really didn’t want to be there and although lots of people can say that about their job, it’s always nice when people hide their disappointment at their soul sucking jobs so that I can enjoy my over priced watered down drink in peace.

Superb cask beer selection when I visited.
There was also a "craft keg" selection also.
I stuck to the Kent Brewery Altered States and Cobnut. Tried a Mallinsons Cascade before leaving.
All beers well under £4 each and in superb condition.
I now know where to come on my next London pub excursion.
