| A classic corner pub with a certain scuzzy charm to it, that's ok for a quick pint or two but not somewhere you'd choose to spend the whole evening. Selection of drinks is reasonable but unremarkable and the price is ok for the area. Service was fine, nothing more nothing less. It has a jukebox which wasn't on whilst I was in there, a pool table and TVs showing with the sports channels for entertainment. There are some nice features to admire in the building itself and sitting looking out the window as the people of Camden pass by is a reasonable way of spending an hour or so. The raised rear area is spacious, but I definitely got the vibe that it was an area for the regulars and that passers by are less welcome here than in the lower front area. The main drawback to the place (other than the fact that there are many better pubs within a short walk) is that it has a rather unpleasant smell to it (a combination of stale beer and rot) which makes you less inclined to stay than you might otherwise have been.

| 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 |
