'Trendy Camden' is just as poor for customer service as a Basildon estate pub- this place asked us for a 'regulars' card- hahahahaaha- everything in Britain is so difficult isn't it? It must be really 'exclusive' inside eh? What if none of the regulars don't turn up- does the pub stay empty? British stupidity a lo maximo...kick this braindead boozer into the dustbin of British history along with the double decker bus, concorde and driving on the left.....

Best beer garden in Camden, nice in winter and summer.
Good crowd. Free gigs upstairs sometimes.

I went to go on Saturday and got asked for a Regulars card. "A What?" Not bigging myself up, but I spend a lot of money in bars as me and my friends have a fair amount of disposable cash. The only thing I ask is to not have some bouncer give me grief about not having some rubbish card. I'll take my money elsewhere and go Gilgamesh a much nicer place than this.

I stumbled across this website while looking for another pub in Camden, it seems the Lockside is receiving quite a bit of flak and in all honesty its nearly all entirely justified. Last time I popped into this joint I was served a pint of Guiness that was utterly woeful, I returned it to the bar and was met with a "what do you want me to do about it?", to which I responded "your job mate". No joke. I manage a bar and if one of my staff spoke to a customer like that they would be out the door with my foot up their arse. I'd been here a few times prior to this and had a fair idea whom the duty manager was so popped upstairs and told her just what had happened. Just out of pure coincidence while I was recounting my fascinating tale a guy at the end of the bar piped up and asked me who it was, I asked him who he was and it turns out he was the owner. He then asked what the member of staff looked like, I declined as I didn't want to get the kid sacked even if he was a complete mug. They replaced the drink, apologised, all good. However a mass rehiring of staff is most definitely in order here, gone are the days where you can treat a punter like an imbecile. Well, within reason that is.

Good beer, with some unusual imported bottles (Goose Island IPA). They dicked us around with the food though, taking our money and then failing to deliver when they "ran out" of food.
