I don't know about the last comment, we managed to spend an entire evening there and got suitably pissed. Compared to the other pubs nearby this is a pretty good bet for a decent pint and some olives.

Nice place, apart from the huge mirrors. Fairly pricey, but then this is Islington!

Pretty pub and deserted on a sunday (maybe due to lack of food).

The Duke of Cambridge, Islington
Really pricey place. And usually very busy, best to book if you want to eat. Food was pretty good though.

Amazing saturday night indie club. Best club in Bristol by miles.

Provincial gay pub at it's best with lovely quaint little dance floor.

Quite like it, trendyish decoration, nice beer. Usually gets quite busy later on.

Been meaning to change my entry for ages to say I got food poisoning from the barbeque... and not the nice sort either.

Went all the way from London to visit here, wasn't let down - great food, excellent choice of Fullers' beers, nice canalside beer patio too.

Lovely pub, nice beer, nice garden, lovely food, cute barman (long haired indie looking one). Especially good during the day...

Favourite pub in Camden (apart from the Edinboro Castle). Good beer, can usually get a seat and close to work - always good signs!

Ah, used to be my local at Uni... Perfectly nice beer, and odd tables with board games painted on them. The chippie next door used to take returns of Irn Bru bottles as payment for food - handy! No doubt it's changed slightly since 2000 when I was last in there though!

Genuinely fantastic place... been going there on and off for four years and never had a crap night. Love coming near last in the pub quiz on Tuesdays (except once... when we won). One of the only pubs I would travel miles to get to voluntarily. Wendy is possibly the best landlady in the business - she should be made a life peer for services to drunkeness.

Agree with last comment that the staff tend to be slow and the food is fairly unexciting for the vast amount of money they charge for it. Having said that, by the time I got there on a Sunday (3pm) there was actually not very much food left to choose from. There are plenty of other places in the area which are far better.

Quite like this place for all it reminds me of a provincial gay pub... beer terrace is great in the summer. Although beer usually tastes awful. Thursday nights 'What We Like' are probably the best of the bunch at the moment with indie, electro, rock n pop tunes...

Just been done up to reflect it's greene king ownership a bit more. all draftflow beer, but a definate improvement.

The Two Brewers, Covent Garden
Have been their twice, first time was a Saturday and it was lovely, second time was last night (St Patrick's Day) and it was full of hideous Americans discussing how they love being 'Irish'.

Seemed perfectly nice to me (although it was a Tuesday). Later licence than other places and gave away free smarties on the tables.

Nice enough... does sell Newcastle Brown Ale for about 2.50 which almost makes up for lack of real ale. went there before babyshambles at the Academy and it wasn't too busy, which suggests it is a decent alternative to the Backstage or one of the other traditional pre-gig pubs.

The Assembly House, Kentish Town
After 8pm, probably the only pub in the area you're guarenteed to get a seat (unless Arsenal are playing away). Watch out for added fun of riot vans on Saturdays - if you're lucky :)
It's also v handy to find from the station which makes it ideal for meeting people in.

we had a shocking display of rudeness too the other day after trying to climb on to and dance with the bear in the corner... he apologised to us though!

Lovely pub - even more so compared to what is nearby (i.e. Mansfield, Unicorn and Leighton). Reasonably priced beer which is of a pretty high standard. All pubs should have ginger cat like the Stanley's...!

The Royal George, Charing Cross Road
Usually plays decent music, has no smoking room downstairs (pah). Interesting mix of people but usually friendly enough
