| A veritable banquet of 'meh'. Not very good, though not really, really bad either. Dannysigma - 6 May 2008 14:31 |
| Handy for Camden, has Deuchers IPA, ok to watch football in, that's about it. silentbob9484 - 17 Dec 2007 09:01 |
| Watched the Arsenal game in here last night. Supposedly had Deuchars, Bombardier and Pride but only the latter was on. Unforgivably they didn't turn the pump clips around all night. Bar staff left something to be desired too, had no clue what I was on about when I was asking for Deuchars or Erdinger (which again they didn't have despite it being on the menu). On the whole not the worst place to watch football and maybe it was an off night but can only rate on how it was. GuideDogSaint - 13 Nov 2007 20:00 |
| This spacious, modern pub was formerly a Hogshead and is placed handily for all the usual Camden attractions. The open plan interior is a mix of stone and wooden flooring, bare brick walls, large picture windows and a mass of exposed air conditioning pipes. It sounds horrific to someone who prefers pubs that are bit more traditional but I found it all quite aesthetic and harmonious. The open plan is interrupted only by a brace of brick pillars bridged by some shelves containing various jugs urns etc. The 3 Real ales (Deuchars, Pride and Bombardier) are complemented by Westons cider on hand pump although at £3.40 this seems a bit pricey, especially given that the Deuchers was only £2.70. There is also a selection of bottled beers from around the globe. The 3 plasma screens show a variety of sports but there are signs up saying that if there is something you want to watch, just let tell the staff and they will try and accommodate you. Nice to find a place with such a flexible attitude and it is simple things like this that sort out the good from the bad. At the rear is a pool table (weekly competitions held) and there are the usual run of quiz / fruit machines as well as board games and a weekly quiz night. There is seating outside under canopies for those that wish to watch the traffic pass by. For a pub that could easily be taken as a rather soulless cavern, I found the place to be a pleasant surprise with a fresh and vibrant approach. I would certainly pay a return visit.

| very friendly staff. they warn you about dodgey people and keep an eye for all the customers. quick service. the food menu is much better now, it is all fresh. the music on a saturday night is really good and gets everyone in the mood to go out after. the manager is really nice, she is very sweet and helpful. all in all a very good night out, i would recommend it to everyone. anonymous - 14 Jul 2007 14:13 |
