Popped in here before going to see a band down the road. The band were running late so came back to kill an hour.

Lot's of room out the back and very comfortable. They were starting a quiz when we left and had posters up advertising all sorts of other events. It seems more interesting than most pubs around here and caters for a variety of customers, not just the Camden set every other pub aim for.

Will definitely go back when in the area.

Initially went to meet an old friend there recently, as we used to frequent it back in it's wetherspoons days when Camden was our local drinking hole.
Although I was a little disappointed they hadn't kept the range of ales, their guinness was clearly well taken care of which is a big tick when you compare it to standards generally these days.
We left to see what else had changed around Camden, but can't say we were too impressed with the cooler-than-thou attitude you get from the average bartender around town, so returned to the Monarch and they let us come back in for free because we'd been in earlier, even though the bands had started.
I'm not sure what the last guy was talking about, the food was well above par, clearly not microwaved brakes brothers food which seems to be what most places push. And I found the toilets to be quite clean especially considering how busy it was. There was soap, even though they'd just bought the cheapest stuff from what I presume was the nearest supermarket.
I don't get back to Camden very often, no doubt it will have changed hands again by the time I do, but if it hasn't, there's a high probability I'll give it a look in.

This bar is large, with rather old-fashioned decor.

But never mind that: they don't serve ale!

I didn't dare try the food after being warned off by friends who know the place.

The gents toilet often has no soap.

I haven't been to any of the live music, so it might make up for the above, but I currently don't plan to go here unless I have a special reason to.

Loads of live music on here with some great bands. Much much better in there now than when it used to be the Misty Moon! Worth a pint during a Camden pub crawl!
