| This is a grotty pub with standard lagers and an ale offering of Courage Best. There is a dart board and a pool table up the back of the pub on the way to the toilets. There are also three TVs and a projector screen for the sports. The barmaid was very friendly and the governor was very jovial as were his cronies (read in to this what you may). I’ll not be returning here as there are better pubs in the area. Strongers - 29 Jan 2009 16:31 |
| I think those that left negative reviews of this place must've been on crack when they were there. I have been going to this pub regularly since I moved into the neighborhood, and I love it. The crowd is friendly, unassuming, and full of a colourful cast of regulars. THe landlord is a sweetheart, even walking me back home late one night so I wouldn't walk alone in what can be a sketchy neighbourhood, and arranging for a taxi to pick up a friend that had been there with me. I recommend this place to anyone who's looking for an authentic pub experience. You can go in by yourself for a pint and be sure you'll make friends in minutes. The Hope and Anchor KICKS ASS.

| The Jekyll and Hyde pub of Camden. I was in there one a night, playing pool, pumping money into the juke box, chatting away to the bar staff, drinking after hours and had a great night. Walked in there the very next night and the first thing the barmaid said to me was "are you drinking the same as you were last night?" and I thought I was in for another good night. Later on in the evening I was accused of passing a fake £20 note, even though I had been paying for drinks with £10 notes all night and after the last round I had bought I had only a few quid change, obviously from a tenner as the round was for myself and 1 other person. I protested my innocence and she claimed she'd never seen me before. Enter Sean, the alcoholic landlord, who made a huge point of ripping up the fake note in my face and shouting at the barmaid that it was coming out of her wages. I walked straight out of there and went round the corner to The Cobden, which is a much better pub with friendly staff and punters. Needless to say, I've never been back to The Hope and Wanchor. craigarden - 7 Sep 2008 15:00 |
| Reading past reviews about this pub, I am shocked to see that the same Landlord works here. Visited the pub on Saturday night with a few friends, and enjoyed a perfectly nice pint, and apart from the scary looking locals who had apparently been drinking since the pub opened, we experienced no trouble. Until closing time that is and I went to visit the toilets. As has been mentioned several times before, the door was blocked by an extremely drunk fellow who I can only assume was 'in charge' (so he slurred to me) One of the toilets was broken, but the other one fine, but rather than let me use that one, I got a torrent of bad language and a fistful of aggressiveness. As a woman, having a man who clearly shouldn't be served more alcohol than he can take, shouting at your face mere inches from your own, wasn't a pleasant experience. Suffice to say I returned to my table, put on my coat and left with my friends vowing never to return to the place again. I simply do not understand the stupidity of management, regardless of whether they're working or not, drinking to such an excess that surely they must know that it really isn't a good advertisement for your pub. In the end I used the loo in a lovely Irish pub around the corner with a charming landlord who even got us a cab back to the sticks for us when we left. Perhaps this neanderthal thug of a landlord could learn from his example. Awful place, and avoid at all costs unless your looking for a fight. MD16 - 18 Feb 2008 11:21 |
| Interesting two tier layout, the bar is at street level with a larger area reached by stairs either side of it. Nice looking traditional back street boozer, etched glass, brewery mirrors, pool table, no tourists, locals chatting, that sort of thing. We need proper pubs like this to survive, so many are disappearing and being sold for development. It is opposite the disgusting looking Purple Turtle. Millay - 23 Dec 2007 21:07 |
