    Well, what can one expect from a pub in the heart of one of London's hipster spots - yeah, a hip and happening pub that has all of the charm of your typical English tavern. I certainly liked the place, especially since it has some nice beers on tap. On the other hand, it also has that old rustic charm that I really like.

    LOCALS ONLY--DON'T BOTHER STOPPING HERE IF YOU ARE A TOURIST!! TOURISTS ARE NOT WELCOME. WAS IT BECAUSE OUR SKIN COLOUR?!? I was visiting Camden Town and in search of a place to eat. Saw on the posted menu they served the Cumberland Sausage breakfast sandwich and a full English brekkie. We wanted to walk a bit before deciding where to eat. After walking around at the market, none of the food stalls appealed to me, so we decided to go back. First mistake!! Our party was a little hesitant, but we decided to stay because of the breakfast sandwich. It's okay to judge a book by its cover for this place--what you see IS what you get. We walked in and immediately didn't feel welcome, but should we have? It was a LOCAL pub, after all. I went up to the bar and felt largely ignored, while others asking for a glass of ice/alcohol, got their drink orders straightaway. The fully bearded (bushy & reddish) bartender was a jerk--continuing to ignore me all the while serving drinks and taking orders from other customers. His counterpart, the little tatted woman was equally rude to us when she took our food order. The only person that was nice was the black girl who wiped down our table when we asked. Second mistake was the food...looked better on the menu than on the plate. Overall, the sandwich was okay. Definitely forgetable food here and really don't waste your time if you are a tourist--go elsewhere because they clearly don't want "outsiders" business. Give your business to the Camden Market stalls and forget about this place! REALLY!!!

    What I Ordered: Full English Breakfast and a Vegetarian Breakfast Flavor: Pretty standard. Not the best or the worst I've had. Service: A bit lacking. No table service, you must order at the bar. Took awhile to get someone's attention. Atmosphere: Standard pub atmosphere. Price: Reasonably priced. Location: Great location in the center of the Camden Lock area. Super convenient if you plan on spending some time there. Other Comments: This place is really about the location. We ended up going here because another place we wanted to try was closed. The breakfast was decent. I'd recommend if you're looking for a convenient place to eat while in Camden Lock.

    It was a freezing decembers evening, and starting snow so my boyfriend and I were searching on the hunt for a cosy place to rest are weary bones... We trecked high and Low through Camden Town, literally walking into about 5 other places until I found the perfect spot so grab a beer and have a cuddle. Walking into this cute little warm pub, I instantly felt at home, and knew this was the place for us. There was a really nice bunch of people, chatting about films, music, and christmas... they two of what I call ' snug pits' where you can relax and lye out on one of their leather sofas, and catch abit of snuggle time. Its a small pub, with a massive long bar, but it's really chilled out, and homely. A nice retreat from the manic tourists outside barging their way forward on the hunt for a festive bargain. A three star retreat, for a moderate snuggle.

    Great music and vibe. Only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is bc they do not have air conditioning or fans.

    Such a cute, old fashioned place. Really really loved this location- only went for pints and little…read moresnacks but area is gorgeous as well pub is very cute. Overall really enjoyable experience. Was rather packed and service is quick but able to snag seat. Recommend

    Truth be told, I wasn't expecting a late-night dinner at a pub in Central London to be this…read moreamazing... or expensive. Thankfully, I have friends from out of town who are more in-the-know about my city than I am. Reservations were made more than a month in advance, and if that's any indication of how popular this place is, plan well in advance. From the ground floor, you wouldn't think this pub is any different than the thousands of others around London, with its crowd of office workers gathering around the outside like a swarm of thirsty bees once 5PM rolls around. Once inside, however, it turns into a rustic, yet sophisticated dining experience; especially when you're guided to the top two floors. My group and I were seated at a table with a lovely view from the topmost floor, gazing out over Piccadilly Circus. The menu seems to vary from evening to evening, so prepare for those elevated prices. I can safely say, however, that every single thing you'll have at this restaurant will leave you salivating for more. My rib-eye steak was easily the best I've had in London - possibly my life - succulent and perfectly cooked, with that delicious char on the ends for maximum satisfaction. The sides are ridiculously delicious for what they are, and even the mashed potatoes left nothing to be desired. The desserts - of which we tried all - are all a comforting finish to a glorious meal without being overwhelming. The bread pudding was probably my favourite of the bunch, but that sorbet can't be ignored, either. They have a few cocktails on the menu, but given that I was having steak, I listened to reason for once and went with a glass of their Château Bel-Air 2010 red wine. Now, I'm not usually a wine drinker, and absolutely never go for reds, but this bit of liquid sin may have just changed my view on life forever. I'd certainty have it again, if prompted. This lovely gem of a pub should definitely be on your list for the next special occasion in your life. Or, if you splurge for a living like some of us, why not make it your next Tuesday night out?
