Has recently reopened as a rocknroll bar serving hot dogs , coffee, genuine Czech lager ,Pilsner Urquell on draft , Budvar in bottles ,plus real ale and cider . With a late licence and space to dance to the fab jukebox sounds this could become the new inplace in camden .It's now called Joe's.

Returned here recently after not having visited for ages. This place has really taken a turn for the worse. Practically empty on a Friday night, which is saying something for a Camden boozer. Bland generic music(Black Eyed Peas,ffs!), even more overpriced than before and the classic surly bouncers needlessly hassling people at the door. I can only assume whatever trade they do get is from punters leaving the Roundhouse.
Word of warning: absolutely freezing in there. We sat with coats on until we left. And the bouncers tried to get £5 off a friend who arrived later, despite the fact that there was a total of two tables occupied inside.
A thoroughly charmless establishment, I won't be back.

Funky house really is the music preference of the clinically dull. I like a bit of house from time to time but this was just sterile house by numbers when I was in here on a recent Thursday. Not that the crowd seemed to care, lots of office boys, label whores and smooth types lapping it up. They were all drinking bottled lager, you know the kind of people who think a bottle of Asahi is classy. Camden does need somewhere that plays good dance music as the indie schmindie nature of the area is so tiresome but this ain't it. It is facking terrible. No wonder the cool kids go East.

I’m not sure that I would want to drink in here all night, but it is ok for a few late drinks when all of the pubs have chucked out. There’s not much of a draught selection with only Fosters, Stella, Hoegarden and Guinness being available. I think that the majority of people that drink here tend to stick to bottles anyway. It’s basically what you would expect from a Camden bar with sofas around all the walls and plenty of standing room around the bar as you queue to get served.

It serves its purpose well and I’ve been to far worse late license venues.
