Kid friendly but no kids menu. My wife, daughter and I were walking the Camden Market and were looking for food. I had been drinking Camden Hells Lager since I've been in the UK, so when we saw the Camden Town Brewery, we decided to stop and get a bit to eat. It is in a great spot, right on the Camden Locks, in the heart of the Camden Market. It isn't much to look at once you walk in, pretty standard. Same goes for the cocktail offering. The cocktails on their cocktail menu mostly contained Beefeater Gin, but they were out of Beefeater Gin and said they couldn't substitute for one of the other Gins they had in the wall, which was quite a few, so that was disappointing. We were a little worried there wasn't a kids menu but we got the Cotswold fried chicken, without hot sauce and it was incredible. My wife and I shared the fish and chips and it was very good as well. We were a little underwhelmed when we walked in but were very satisfied and pleased with the food. We would comeback for the ambiance but definitely would for the food. read more

"Where there's life there's hope...and need of vittles." - The Lord of the Rings Hells Lager, a cross between Helles and Pilsner with malt and hops and brewed in Camden - a smooth, clear beer from Camden Town Brewery. Frankly, I didn't know much about this brand until I sat down for lunch at an English pub in SOHO, London. I requested something on tap that was local and Anna (bartender) suggested I start with Camden Town Hells Lager. I smartly took her advice! Camden Town Brewery founded in 2010, isn't as ancient as other breweries in the UK, but what it lacks in centuries, it makes up with "Gimli" pedigree. The founder Jasper Cuppaidge is the grandson of Laurie McLaughlin, who ran McLaughlin's Brewery in Rockhampton, Australia from 1910-1960, along with an estate of 60 pubs. Story goes when Jasper was in his 20's, this in the 1990's, he missed his flight back from London to Australia. Long story short, he ended up staying in London, started from scratch, and ended up brewing his own beer. It was a hit and became the foundation of Camden Town Brewery! So Anna suggested the Camden Town Hells Lager (4.6%) to go with my English pub lunch, and from first sip to last drop, it was smooth as "Arwen's" lips! I can see why It won numerous awards, such as Champion Keg Lager at the International Brewing Awards and bronze at the European Beer Star. This is the real deal lads! I have yet to try the other brews that the Brewery pours, like the Gentleman's Wit, IHL Lager, Pale Ale, or a seasonal brew. In the end, I had a lovely lunch in London, and Camden Town Brewery made it that much lovelier! Go with the Hells Lager and I promise you a magical "Gandalf" experience! Gurth 'ni yrch! Three Cheers to Jasper! Ta! read more

Camden Town Brewery - Hells Lager (4.6% ALC, 24 IBU). Camden Town's signature lager, combining Helles and Pilsner. I approve! Cheers! - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Great brewery with outside and inside seating. Order your drinks at the bar, or with the table service. Taps were all great, as we tried probably half the menu. My favorite being the Hells. Seating is ample and great for larger groups- as ours was. Food- surprisingly amazing! I've been thinking about the Chard Ravioli with the butter since I ate it and contemplated ordering a second entre when we were there. Not pictured is the Beer Hall Platter- think giant cheese board. We got the Large and it was a good size for 6 people. Always love when burrata is available. The pretzels on the platter were also very tasty and came out warm- we could smell them baking before they were served. We will definitely be back, loved everything about this place. read more

Awesome and delicious brewery! The seating is primarily outdoors, which makes for a nice, relaxing afternoon. The bartenders are also very friendly and helpful with picking out your beers. But most importantly... The beer was delicious! I went for a flight, so I could try several different options. I tried the Gentleman's Wit, Show Off Lager, Hells Lager, the Brut IPL, and a watermelon one. I enjoyed all of them except for the Brut IPL. The Gentleman's Wit and Show Off Lager were my favorites though. read more

Great brewery. We stopped by on a weekday for a few drinks. It was a shame we couldn't catch a tour. The building looks quite interesting, very long and narrow with the overground running above it. There isn't too many seats inside but there's outdoor seating too. I tried a few of their beers most are all about the 4 - 6 ABVs. Try the strawberry beer. read more

Great beer and I like how they switch selection often. The food is a bit mismatched with the venue though. The quality of food is on par with a nice restaurant, not a beer hall. On the downside, the benches can be quite uncomfortable and the card only payment is discriminatory. A lot of people either can't get a card easy or aren't comfortable using one, which to me seems like they're being less than inclusive. If they took cash, I'd certainly be back, otherwise I'd probably go elsewhere. read more

I love this place a functioning brewery of surprisingly large proportions it manages to combine decent beer (as you'd expect) with ever changing street food. This brewery stands out from many other breweries in London as it specialises in lager rather than just doing the standard pale ale, porter and session ale. It also often does collaborative beers with other breweries from around the World. I have visited three times now and each time I find something different that impresses me. On the first visit I was concerned that I'd struggle to find the place but all you need to do is exit Kentish town west station (overground station) and turn right and its there. Literally underneath the station platform. The brewery is only open Thursday to Saturday so as you can imagine it gets busy so it's best to get there earlier rather than later to secure a decent spot. There is space to sit both indoors and outdoors with heaters outside. Inside there is limited seating but with space to stand by the bar. My top tip is to look very closely at the board behind the bar as they sometimes have daily specials on rare beers or on bottles to takeaway. read more

yes yes yes! First of all- their location is COOL!

I could not ask for a better experience. Ambience. Beer. Service. Do yourself a favor and make your way to the Camden Town Brewery Bar. Everything was a 12/10. Gean Marco is the absolute best- was so helpful recommending a new beer (aside from my go to Camden Hells) and even let us know about deals available on beer flights before 5pm which we took advantage of). Great merch at decent prices, but still doesn't beat the amazing price of pints and half pints. He gave amazing recommendations and really went out of his way to make us feel welcome among a majority of locals here for the running event every week. We even got to be apart of the giveaway of a limited time brew with 4 free cans. Could NOT have asked for a better experience if I tried- thanks to the whole team at Camden Town for everything. Highlight on my trip without a doubt. Please come to LA!! read more

Firstly.... I love this beer!!! It's great it's appearing in more London bars and even a few places outside the city. Living in Camden I guess makes me a bit more of a sucker for something named after the town I've adopted as my own (although the brewery is in Kentish Town). The brewery is almost hidden behind Kentish Town west overground station, I haven't been on the tour, although I would love to given the time and opportunity. The bar I've been to a few times, it's a funky vibe and normally pretty busy with friendly types. They have a rota of food stalls in the grounds serving food at a reasonable price, I tried beak and bill opting for the pulled duck burger... Well worth trying. They are currently fund raising and the space they are in is too small for what they want to do, so it's actually possible to own a piece of camden brewery!! Unfortunately it probably means they will move out of the area :( A small complaint would be that it is a pretty steep pint, and I certainly couldn't justify buying the carry out cans.... But I guess this is London and I'd rather pay extra for local than some crummy foreign beer. read more

If london hells beer is what ur looking for, look no further. Nestled in between the station, flats and a bike shop, u will find this charming little brewery. Walk into a matchbox world of red and yellow colours. The bar makes u feel that ur either at a barn or in a distorted movie. We unfortunately did not attend for the tour. I have been on a few beer tours and do enjoy getting to the heart of that matter. Half pints of I.k stout were enough for me, whilst my friend imbibed the fruity Ipa. There is also a tasting tray if u just want to have it all. Also this appeared a friendly haunt for the American passer by who inflicted on us his stories of football in America. Always a pleasure to be a British listener. A good place to have some lively fun in the future with a batch of friends me thinks. read more

Camden Town Brewery - Jamie taking it in - Pubs Near Me - London, XGL

Camden brewery = 4 stars. Cabbage burger dude = 1 star. The brewery makes great beer and I can't say how cool it is that it's open to the public. Fab, fab, fab. If you go on a Friday there are food trucks and in general, a fab vibe AND you get to drink some fabulous beer. If you go on any day besides Friday, your options are ordering something to be delivered or cabbage burger dude. This may not sound all that bad but this man has single-handedly sucked the life and soul out of a cheeseburger by topping it with bland, tasteless and kind of but not really crunchy cabbage. You can order the burger without the cabbage but you won't because it's unique and you'll think "gosh, that sounds rank but if he's charging for it, that has to be a good idea". Well, it's not. The cabbage manages to rob the burger of its cheesy goodness and leaves you with an average hamburger that tastes kind of (but only kind of because it's quite bland) like cabbage. I had to go home and wash my mouth out with donuts. So, to summarise: Brewery: Yay, woohoo! Cabbage burger dude: Boo! read more

A really nice idea, the brewery has been here a couple of years, under the arches of the railway viaduct by Kentish Town West Station and this year they have finally opened a bar next door to sell their wares direct to the good people of Camden. The beers are excellent. From lagers to brown ales via wheat bear and beyond they are all delicious and you can buy 5 small glasses of different beers on a board if you can't decide which ones to go with. The inside area is very small (judging by posts on here I suspect the opening hours will be cut again come autumn/winter) but the outside is pretty big with loads of seating, though if you arrive late on a weekend it will probably all be full. In addition to the beers two food stalls were operating outside when I was there; one selling West-Indian food and the other Asian, both of which smelled and looked excellent. All things considered a nice place for a few drinks. A couple of minor gripes: The toilets are ridiculously small and narrow. I realise they had limited space to work with but having to shuffle behind people to reach a urinal is a bit much. Also, bearing in mind they have no transportation costs and lower overheads than many a bar (bearing in mind they brew on site) £4 a pint is seriously taking the mick! read more

This fully functioning brewery is based under the arches of Kentish Town West Overground station. They offer tours and tastings but the best part is that they have their own bar. It's open on limited days of the week, I think it's Thursday to Saturday and they have all of their beers on tap. No idea if they do soft drinks but beer is the strongest thing they have. In addition to the liquids, they organise a food stand or two each night. These are normally established vendors with good track records, on our visit, they had Crabbie Shack, Ms P's Barbeque and Lickalix, more than normal due to it being a special event. Last Saturday was their second Tank Party - their most popular beer - Hells Lager straight from the tank. The brewery bar sells beers in pint and half pints, as well as a tasting rack of 7 beers, probably just under two pints total. In addition to this, they also sell their bottled beers to drink or takeaway, and 'growlers' larger bottles (in weird volumes, I think they were 1.6 and 3.2 pint bottles) that you can take away. You pay for the bottle, and then pay for refills. If you sign up for their newsletter you can get 10% off takeaway purchases! read more

I was here last Friday night for a few jars with friends. There is no denying that their selection of ales, lagers and stouts are good quality and very tasy. I was a little miffed with the £4 a pint price tag though, considering they don't have to pay anything for distribution! There's a nice atmosphere to the place as the seating is limited. You'll likely end up sharing tables with others, socialising and generally enjoying what is quite a vibey place given that it's just some space under an arch appended to a brewery. My favourites were the Pale Ale and Camden Ink. read more

Check the website to see when they are open, as it isn't a full-time thing yet. RIGHT underneath the Kentish Town Overground. This is something one doesn't see too often in London, as it pretty much entirely depends on the weather. That said, when those clear, warm evenings happen to hit on a weekend (or hell, this is London, people would come on the weekday too) it is a special spot. So, what is it exactly? Basically, you get a bunch of people standing around outside on the pavement, drinking beer from the brewery. If you don't drink, they also have a few soft drinks for like £1 poured from a 2-litre bottle. Clearly most people don't go here to get diet coke. It is a chill, lively, and friendly atmosphere, given the simple surroundings. Though busy when we went, the queues weren't too bad and moved quickly, and the staff were friendly and know their stuff. Having Big Apple Hot Dogs there was a huge plus as well. Looking foward to introducing more people to this London Brewery. read more

Big fan of the Camden Town Brewery. Seeing as it's made in house it's not expensive and incredibly tasty. The decor is amazing and new and relevant. The tour of the brewery was fantastic and insightful which went through all the processes of how beer is made and showed everything from the brewing to the packaging. All in all it was a fantastic experience with lovely people. Also there are food trucks there on weekends! The cheeky Indian is a must try if you can!! read more

Good spot. Always have a nice range of Camden's core beers on keg and usually at least one seasonal or one-off. Prices are fair. Staff is always friendly though not always super efficient. Nice ambiance but the crowds can get a bit intense in the evening. They often have food trucks parked outside the tap room to provide sustenance. Definitely worth a visit, though try to make it in the afternoon. N.B. since these guys sold to AB InBev, I have not visited as frequently. read more

Amazing brewery and brewpub just a few minutes walk from Camden town. MUST get here at least once. I tasted 3 of their beers and found them simply amazing, probably some of the best among the local scene. You can feel the brand of the company grow, they're really smart and market oriented. They also got a wood oven for pizza! Enjoy this wonderful hop ride. read more

Love this place because I love beer. Its not your typical bar. Its really just a drinking space on the side of the brewery. It's a very easy going bar with a punk load of taps and a great atmosphere. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday they have different street foods available which quite frankly are always perfect beer matches. Think burgers or bbq or cheese toasted sandwiches or Moroccan nachos (oh my wow). Once a week they seem to tap a different all brew beer which is pretty special to try. On Saturdays and Thursday's there are tours which you have to book and now they have two drop in, first in first served tours. Definitely worth a visit to try all the taps! Only open nights on thurs- sat. Closed Sunday and Monday. Staff are awesome too. You'll probably end up making friends with them. read more

Wow.. what can I say about Camden Town Brewery Bar. This is my first time here and this place is amazing. The beer is amazing and the staff is incredibly awesome. Gean Marco's valued experience guided me through the beer selection Camden Town Brewery has to offer. The beer were fantastic and the prices were even better. As the evening approached it was a really great atmosphere with load of people and runners showing up for their Wednesday run (if you run you can get a Free pint after a good jog!) I wish they had such excellent beer and great management in the states. Please come to Los Angeles soon Camden Town Brewery, you will have some loyal customers! read more

As a huge lager lover a little lost in London's ale culture, I am a massive fan of this place! The lagers are really well done, and there is a good range to satisfy everyone's taste. It's worth joining their club on the website, so when a new beer is introduced, you can purchase a take home pitcher of it for a special discounted price. Generally, the take home pitchers are a great idea, and very financially friendly. read more

It seems people rarely leave this bar without a sway to their walk, which is probably due to how damn good the beer is here. Brewed just next door, this 'craft' bar is tucked away just under the Kentish Town West station arches and so you'd be easy to miss it. What adds to the charm of this place is the street food residencies which they have weekly, we've had great burgers here and they manage to keep in theme with 'what kind of food would people like to eat when they're a bit drunk?' The staff have a good grip on all the different kinds of beer, so providing it's not way too busy, they'll be happy to give you a helping hand with your selection of tipple for the evening. read more

The unfiltered lager has to be one of my favourite lagers out there (I'm more of a craft beer, dark beer, kinda gal). We tend to go to their cask party every year, which gets larger and larger. We were sad to arrive on Sunday evening and find no food available, but it happens. But the brewery is all about the beer and they make some fabulous ones! They have a smallish taproom, but it's big enough to hold a small group of people. I wouldn't go there during the colder months with a larger group (outside = cold), but it's perfectly reasonable for a smaller group to enjoy themselves and try out a bunch of brews. read more

Its been over a year since I've been by but this used to be one of my favorites. I love getting things from their source so beer from a brewery was ideal for me. I love being immersed in the process, taking tours and sampling how they've tweaked their latest batch. There just seemed something so homey about the Camden Town Brewery. I adored the growlers they had available so you could enjoy strait from your flat when you were too cold to want to leave. I stopped going as I took an extended trip over seas....was missed sorely. read more

Even amongst the explosion of new craft breweries in London, Camden Town may still hold title as the best... at least I can say that it's my favorite. There are always several excellent beers on tap, and the focus seems to be on drinkability. Almost all of the beers are of sessionable strength, meaning you can enjoy several of them in a session. This of course is excellent as Camden's brewery bar is a great place to hang out with friends, and to meet new friends. Top it off with the regular presence of some of London's best mobile food options, and you've got a winner of a weekend afternoon/evening. Recommends: Hells USA, Indian Summer. read more

First of all, please note that the Camden Town Brewery Bar isn't going to open full-time until mid-April - check the website for details. However, they have done a couple of evenings, and I came for a friend's birthday. The brewery and bar is located right next to Kentish Town Overground station (the map locator's a little bit wrong here). If you go under the arch next to the station entrance, there should be a pub board telling you where to go (it's not hard to find). The wooden-boarded, ceiling-high glass-fronted indoor space is fairly small with fairly limited seating, but fortunately it was fairly warm outside. Ultimately, it is predominantly a brewery bar, so don't come here looking for quaintness/atmosphere etc. The bar serves a variety of Camden Town brews, (such as the Camden Hells German-style lager, pale ale, wheat beer, and stout). I tried a pint of the Ink Stout, and the Camden Hells USA (Hells made with US grain): the former was a bit too roasted for my liking, kind of like burnt sugar, whilst the latter was rather good, the US ingredients making it a very fruity brew. There are range of guest beers too, such as Sierra Nevada. As far as pricing goes, Camden Town beers are £4/pint, and guest beers £6/pint. Considering that there are no distribution costs (they just have to roll a barrel from the brewery to the bar), the prices are unnecessarily steep which is a shame. However, they do have some interesting stock, so it's worth checking out for one or two if you're in the area. One bonus, was that Big Apple Hot Dogs were serving outside, and I hear that this is a relationship which shall continue. I don't even like Frankfurters, and this was a love-at-first-sight deal (a few people in the queue were amused by my outburst of "They put thyme on the onions!" which genuinely made me happy). All-in-all a nice place to spend a warm Friday evening. read more

In a city not known for its dedication to fine beer Camden Town Brewery provides a welcome infusion of flavor, with the brewery bar serving as the center of Camden Town's welcome spread through London. A small establishment tucked in an alley under the overground tracks, the selection here is unequaled even among bars that carry Camden's staples, Helles, Pale Ale, and Ink Stout. Knowledgeable bartenders and patrons consisting of thosewho know that the best quality beer comes from the source make for a great atmosphere. This strictly no-suits crowd are laid back and ready to enjoy themselves. And while the bar itself does not have food the rotating lineup of some of London's finer mobile food establishments means that no one goes hungry. For regulars and locals the growler refill station is a nice added bonus. read more

I've been acquainted with the Camden Town Brewery bar ever since it first opened its doors to Kentish Town- this predates some rebranding and the now ubiquitous availability of Camden Town beer in bars across London. Little has changed since then in terms of the layout and space of the bar- everything is stripped back and there's never enough seating due to its popularity. It's admittedly due for an upgrade (i.e. bigger premises and I understand that this is in the pipeline), but the bar still has the essentials just right, namely: great staff, beer poured from a wall of taps with a rotating selection, street food vendors on hand for hot food and a great outdoor space for a sunny afternoon of session drinking. Its proximity to public transport also can't be faulted, as it is literally around the corner from Kentish Town West on the Overgound, making the commute home slightly more bearable. This is a fantastic little corner of Kentish Town for a post-work or weekend brew. I personally love the selection of the Camden Town beers and believe that the quality of their beer surpasses some of the other smaller breweries around London, so it's great to have a relaxed drink with the fellow converted. read more
