The Black Heart, Camden

I have to say that I quite like the Black Heart. The bar staff are nicer, better trained and more helpful then they were in the Camden Tup. It's a nice place to retreat to when Camden gets too much to bear.
I for one don't mourn the TV screens as there are plenty of places that show sports and I always found it to be rather anti-social for us non sports fans.
They have quite a few alternative beers (ei. not so much Fosters and Stella please!) and also a good back bar selection of spirits. I think they even have ale, but I can't be sure.

I haven't tried any of their cocktails nor their food so can't say if it's worth a visit for those, but the nice "slowed down" atmosphere is what I go there for.

The Good Mixer, Camden

I've totally given up on this place. I have been to most pubs in Camden over the last 10 years and I really have never been able to see the charm of this horrible place.
I have no desire to be the cool kid in Camden and really just want to be in places were people are friendly and real. This isn't it!

Although if you like the kind of place that perpetually smells of vomit, where the bar staff are either too hyped to serve you or are suffering from a Columbian head ache and were you're likely to get robbed, then by all means - knock yourself out. I'm not interested...
