| I gotta say I don't recognise this pub from the description below - I see it was written by someone calling themselves 'stroppy' so perhaps it's not surprising it's almost totally negative. All I can say is that I've been here tons of times and never felt cold or had to fight my way in past pushchairs and shoppers, and I've never been abused by anyone in there either - in fact the punters and staff are generally pretty decent IME. Believe me if they weren't I wouldn't go in there and it wouldn't be one of my fave pubs in the area. I like the 'feel' of this place and it's location - it's really handily placed and being on a corner you can sit and watch the world go by (and in this place that can be fun!) as well as gaze upon the beauty of ye olde Sports Direct shoppe over the road. Admittedly it isn't a great place for you real ale enthusiasts, but it's reasonably priced for the area and the beer always seems ok to me. The tv feed is not appalling at all and they show most live football games (2 screens) - however they don't usually put the sound up, so there's better places around for watching footy if that's your thing. As for the pool table, I was in there the other day and they seem to have got rid of it, which is a good thing as it wasn't a very good one and took up too much space. Another improvement I noticed - and what a major one it is! - is they've just upgraded the gents toilets and they're now the best I can think of in the area. Big thumbs up for that! As for the food I can't comment as I've never had any but if the prices are like the booze then it's probably reasonably priced - it's no 'gastropub' (thank god) but it's probably an ok place for a burger. I've noticed that the staff eat there so it can't be that bad! So anyway this is definitely in my top 3 pubs in the area - and probably unlike 'stroppy' I do live locally! (but have no connection with the pub at all) - so don't let the odd negative comment by some misery-guts put you off visiting here. It's one of the best in Camden town. puppyfeat - 4 Jan 2012 10:11 |
| Could be the best pub in Camden by a mile....................but it isn't.... What a waste of a perfect bar size and layout. Just seems like they can't be bothered to do anything with it. The doors are always open so it's freezing in there. The entrance is usually busy with pushchairs and people with shopping waiting for their other half to use the loo. The pool table is tiny and wonky, the satelite tv connection is appaling and jerky and the staff were ignoring everyone whlist a horrible 'camden casualty' staggered around hurling abuse at everybody in his eye line.... However, as i say...it could be great. The food was good and pretty cheap too. Stroppy74 - 3 Nov 2010 16:58 |
| Nice to see this pub go back to its' original name (what the hell was 'Liberties' supposed to mean anyway ?) good decor nice range of furniture and staff numerous and efficent.No real ale on which was a blow and my 2nd choice of beer (Hoegaarden) was "off until monday" ( 3 days away).So must be marked down for this. boundsgreenboy - 23 May 2010 19:15 |
| This was the third and last pub we visited on our trip. Sad to note only one real ale - Adnams - despite there being lots of choice for everything else. Very noisey - lots of loud music but it seemed to add to the atmosphere I thought. Seemed like a friendly bunch of people - you can't help get in eachothers way here due to the layout of the tables and chairs etc. I passed these comments onto my wife when we left but she disagreed. Apparently there was a lot of congealed blood on the walls of the ladies toilets which she found (rightly) very off-putting. marked down mainly due to the lack of real ale - nice as it was!

| The Camden Head is one of my favourite locals in Camden. Over the past two years, I've found the staff there to be a friendly and dedicated team that's put a lot of effort into transforming what was once a fairly rough-and-tumble establishment into a buzzy and happy bar that caters to an eclectic clientele. It's unfortunate that the reviewer above had a bad time. I don't know the particular circumstances of his or her visit, but it certainly goes against what I've experienced here. On all my visits, the Camden Head has been a warm and welcoming environment. Recommended. tillamook - 2 Apr 2010 16:57 |
