I'd recommend getting drinks elsewhere before going here. They are pricey at £3.20 for a Stella and £2.80 for a Corona, also they tasted pretty poor too!

Ok for live music.

This pub is actually getting pretty darn good for live music. Thanks to an understanding and open minded promoter (a rare beast), truly alternative sounds can now be heard eminating from these hallowed walls with an ever increasing regularity.
The first Friday of every month is Mantra, a night of alternative heavy rock, metal, prog, psychedelia etc run by Ahymsa - one of London's top unsigned bands but don't tell them that. It is only £3 and all the proceeds are split between the bands - helping sponsor local music (more info go to myspace/ahymsa). This is just one example of a whole host of top quality gigs going on there . I strongly recommend anyone who is a little bored of "the Camden Scene" go check this place out. Next Mantra April 6th.
Peace.

Hey! Ambassadors of Om, four fearless men, taking the gospel of om to far flung corners, uncharted territories, hazardous seas, fearsome natives. Kentish Town... No one has fixed these fellows with a gimlet eye and called them guilless.
No one has referred to these men as bumptious, lacksadaisical or preening. Indeed they were at the front of the queue when they were handing out gumption vouchers.
Therefore we will be taking our travelling show to The Fiddlers Elbow on Sat 6th May onstage 9.30ish, hoping to bring a ray of light, some gaiety. Some may be unfamiliar with our wares (some over familiar), described by a man as a ruthless mix of dirty funk, dub, psychedelia and ska. We are ruthless. We are not
afraid to crack a few eggs. We are Om.
As a special touch The Om sound system turntablists will also be spinning some rekkids (when not playing their instruments, obviously).
Hell, what more do you want? playing live, and djing, come gorge yourselves.
Omage.

Great boozer, really varied punters, open mic every Wednesday (not the 1st or last like most)with friendly host who makes you feel relaxed, bar billiards (very rare) and overall a real pub with real staff who know who's next and serve you very fast (not like those trendy bars whose staff really haven't got a clue although they look hip/cool, which has nothing to do with drinking)

Great friendly local with a vibrant music policy - especially on a Saturday night. Look out for The Grizzlies, a band of 70's legends who sometimes play there
