This is yet another one of those grungy pubs, though that seems to be Camden's specialty. While it wasn't as grungy as some of the others I've visited, it definitely had a really cool vibe. Honestly, I loved the atmosphere, which is probably why Camden remains one of my favourite parts of London. read more

Love this spot and the staff! Food was really good. We were craving burgers and weren't disappointed! Should definitely check out this pub and hang out a bit when you are in Camden. We will be back to see you soon! read more

Great spot to stop for some food or a drink while in Camden. It's air conditioned also in case it is a hot day (it was super hot the day we visited). I love the little triangle shaped building in the middle of two streets. It is not only cute but great for people watching as the windows aim straight out at the main streets and tube station (metro or underground train for those who haven't picked up the local lingo quite yet). The bartender was just so helpful and sweet she added so much to the experience. They have many drafts available and I got my beer in a pint glass with some cute little colorful skull outlines painted on the outside. Fun. I didn't quite get the story on why the name is what it is but maybe next time. I ordered the sliders as I wasn't super hungry. They came with cheese so be careful if you don't want cheese on your slider. It wasn't mentioned in the menu ingredients and I had to send it back. They didn't mind and were kind about asking the chef to make it without cheese. My fiend had the fish and chips and it was "spot on". I'd go back for sure it was comfortable (cozy), friendly with great food and beer options. read more

This pub is down to earth and simply chill. I loved their pint sized London glass! It was surely heavy and fitful to the British pounds' currency name! It's a small place, but definitely a central pub in Camden area to check out! Cheers! read more

I happened to be wandering around at Saturday lunchtime looking for places that were: a) nice b) had decent bitter on c) were no more than 1 minute walk from Camden tube d) let dogs in! This place fits the bill on all counts. It's a bit of a surprise since it used to be a shithole and therefore no one goes here, but it's actually been done up really well. Lots of wood, spotless, and some good drinking to be had, even with your lurcher in tow read more

Comfy chairs abound, feels sterile, expensive drinks but if you want a 'civilized' pub in Camden this is one you would consider. Not my cup of tea read more

No cover charge Recommend if you looking for a less clubby night in Camden. Small bar in the middle of camden across from the Camden town station. I went here on a Friday night with a couple of my mates for a few pints. A mix of people of different ages. The place was a little packed but you could still find seating somewhere. There isn't really a dance floor but some people where dancing by the bar (by some people I mean my drunk friends and I) so the place is loud. read more

The service is not good and they don't accept anyone below 18 years old after 7 pm. The food is ok, not great and a bit pricey.

I was in the Camden Eye last Saturday and I really liked this place. As mentioned it's in a very convenient position right next to the station. The place itself is small but busy with a mix of locals and others. Don't know exactly how many locals but the table behind us were. It seemed everyone else though were in Camden for a night out and started their night here just as we did. OK down to business. Very good selection of vodka at a reasonable price (well for West End but maybe not Camden) they had Russian Standard in the well and Grey Goose (my fav), Absolut, Zubrowka, and I think he mentioned Belvedere. I am a big vodka drinker so any place with Grey Goose and Russian Standard gets my thumbs up. The bar staff were cool and knowledgeable and helped me out with a couple of the tracks played. The atmosphere here was great with a mix of Rock/ Indie and Alternative music which got the punters singing along and some even dancing. Class! I love a good sing-song though I can't sing to save my life (even though I sounded like Elvis in my drunken head on the night ) All in all a good place for a few drinks. read more

Well is this place really a pub? Not really. To me it's a miss between a bar, a cafe, and a...pub. It's super cute though, with lots of high wooden tables and bar stools to boot. Great food menu of reasonably priced burgers, sandwiches and salads. I think it's location - smack bang opposite the Camden Tube Station - makes it a place that is filled with tourists, thus it lacks that 'local' feel that makes a venue warm and cosy. Plus the staff are odd - good looking, yes - but...strange. Like they're not totally awake or something. read more

Good location, bad marketing? The pub is fine, it's got great views of Camden Town's folks but yeah I see what everyone's saying about it being a confused spot. Got the Fish & Chips - huge portion, solid... but some of the bones were not completely removed. Wanted to love this place but just liked it. Eh... read more

I mean... it's alrriiiiiiight. Right? Another confused place in Camden. You couldn't really have a wild night in here with all your mates. You couldn't really come here to watch the sport unless it's just a couple of you. You could probably come here for a cheeky beer before going elsewhere - but again, not if there is a lot of you. I guess it doesn't help that it's one of the first places you see when you step out the tube. It's a small pokey place which is perfectly pleasant, just doesn't do much for me. I wont refuse to come here, in fact I've spent a pleasant afternoon sat here until I got bored and went elsewhere.... It's alriiiiiiiiight. read more

We arrived a bit late, the kitchen were closed but we really wanted a fish and chips! Mark, the manager, saw how desperate we were... and he arranged fish and chips for the 6 of us! :-) It made us very happy and we did like very much the food and the beer. Atmosphere is relaxed, smiley service. When we left, it was quite packed downstairs with good music playing... Like it! read more

The seating area a bit tight for dinner on Easter Monday. We walked in on a whim off the tube, and the clientele was friendly to a couple of yankees from New York lie ourselves. The menu was really accessible, anyone who couldnt find something they'd eat off the menu here is not someone I'd like to know. Beer selection ran par for the course for most local london watering holes that I've found myself in. At the end of the day though, it's still just a standby- not a place that most people would rush to, I venture to guess. Close to the Camden Market. read more

The Camden Eye is a good London pub-I like it as a place to go during the day or for an early evening drink, I've never experienced it's night time atmosphere but It has a warm, community feel to the pub and the decor is alot better than it used to be. It's not the most amazing pub you'll ever go in but it's in a perfect spot to meet friends as it's right outside Camden Tube Station so you really can't miss it. read more

I recommended your establishment to some dear friends and important colleagues of mine. We especially went to visit your pub. Everyone was allowed entry except for myself. I produced a residence card for my borough (I live and work in London, I own my own business), however this was not enough. I was made to lose face in front of my friends and colleagues, and given that I was the unfortunate individual to recommend your establishment, I feel especially insulted. Whilst everyone was allowed to walk inside, I was left to wait outside and no staff had any intention of attending to me. The staff that were present are in dire need of training, and it is in your best interests to resolve this as members of the public will allow you to get away with this poor treatment for only so long before they call you out on it. Shame on you for the poor treatment I received. read more

This place is a great spot to grab a few pints in Camden. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and the manager Mark was extremely friendly and helpful. It's not often that I've walked into a London pub and had any of the staff strike up a conversation. It was open late for a pub and had good music while not crossing the line into "club" territory. I'll definitely be back here for drinks next time I'm in London. read more

Three stars for the overly dressed, overly mustardy salad I had. (I did add chicken to it which tasted freshly cooked, a lovely change from what you typically get at a similar California place) Service was great, vibe is pretty nice, also they have AC and free wifi. Overall a good experience. read more

This was a very delicious meal. The servings are massive it's definitely more than you pay for. The long wait was worth it for that delicious meal. I loved it. read more

Great little pub in the heart of Camden. Low-key and chill compared to others. I enjoyed their craft beers on tap and the bartender was always great at recommending certain beers for my taste! read more

This place has gone through such an evolution over the years that I actually feel old talking about it (I'm only 30, come on)! I came to this location for the first time in 2000, when it was known as the Halfway House. I had a forgettable lunch here, and way too many lagers. This pattern continued over my next several visits-- I always returned to this place because it was charmingly disheveled and you never really knew what/who you might see! Five years after my first visit, I was thrown an impromptu birthday party here, which included a tiny cake that said 'Happy Easter!', a random fortune teller, and some Italian backpackers. In a way I sort of miss the run-down atmosphere that this place used to have. On to the current positives-- someone has finally remodeled this oddly-shaped space and made it *work*. It's unavoidably triangular and can still be a bit cramped, but it benefits greatly from the minimal decor and adaptable furnishings. I haven't eaten here since my first fateful toasted cheese sandwich lunch at the turn of the millennium, so I can't comment on the food. As for the rest, there's a good selection of beer and liquor, with prompt and friendly service. I use this bar as a meeting place almost every time I visit London and it does not disappoint. As this seems to be a strategy shared by many, there's always a decent chance to meet some interesting people here, and it doesn't hurt to linger for a good while! read more

What a brilliant pub! I came here on the Sunday of bank holiday weekend. While lots of other pubs down Camden High Street were closed or closing early because it was a Sunday, the Camden Eye was still going and had a great atmosphere! The pub was busy and had a great atmosphere but not so busy that you couldn't move or get served at the bar. The service was instant and I got served as soon as I walked in. Everyone who worked there was friendly and welcoming (even the bouncers on the door- which is rare!) The music was great! There was such a variety of songs coming out of the DJ booth- from ACDC to Avicii! Everyone was having a great time and I loved the vibe there! I also checked out the food they have to offer while I was there and I definitely want to return in the day and try their calzones! Possibly my new favourite pub in Camden? read more

Whether you pop in for a quick pint or go for a night of fun, this pub caters for all! During the day this civilised pub has a nice atmosphere and the prices are standard for the area. I have also been in on a Saturday night and it was PACKED! the atmosphere changed from civilised dining to a FANTASTIC PARTY!! read more

This is really great lunch spot in London grabbed some fish and chips. Had a really nice fry almost like a pancake batter. For my first fish and chips pretty good but would have been better without skin on the fish. I really liked the lift to get your food really creative concept. read more

I found this pub a little bumpkiss - a little goofy, from the moment I walked in. The pub itself is fine you know, nice interior, but then why is it that the bartender came over to me and ID' d me? Straight away, upon entry! I haven't been ID'd since I was about 16 for Christ sake.. well I showed him, and then after he ascertained I wasn't ordering a pint, he kindly asked me to leave. Scared of my raw youth or something, I do not doubt... read more

Great pub Been in their all afternoon Loverly staff Clean toilets clean pub Didn't eat but food looked great Highly recommend A Little pricey But in great location read more

Only spent a moment here as I came with my sister who's 19. I just wanted to comment that THIS BAR IS 21+ (at least on Friday nights). Looks like an okay place, but I don't understand the age requirement. Last time I checked, this is Europe and the drinking age is 18. read more

Quite a nice place to while away a few hours with a pint or two, especially if you're sat at one of the many tables by the window where you can watch the world go by and in Camden there's always something interesting going on! read more

Not a great place. Just beer and spirits. Food is terrible, and service is DMV style. There are better places around Camden Town, with better food and friendly staff. read more

This pub was great for a stop rest after looking around Camden all day. It was quite relaxed and not too crowded. We got some Apple and passionfruit cider and chips, which were really really tasty! Not sure what this pub is like at night time but it seems like more of a day time pub ,small and a little bit quiet. But it was perfect for lunch as we were able to escape the big crowds. read more

I was in London for a few days in September and happened to stumble on this pub one weekday afternoon. The manager Liz made me and my husband feel super welcome, she went out of her way to take care of us. They carry the old classic beers and newer ones, such as Trooper, and the Strongbow Dark Fruit. I recommend this pub wholeheartedly! Thank you Liz! read more

It's always good to find places that will happily supply you with a decent G&T and also welcome big grey dogs Nice inside, great place to meet old friends! read more

The service was nice but not very efficient. They were out of just about everything when we went including only having two beers on the selection. We also asked for fish and chips and they said they were out of fish in addition to having only one ale on tap unbelievable! The location is excellent however right next to the Camden town underground station. It was a lovely Sunday afternoon to sit with the windows open and enjoy time with friends and family. So overall I give it three stars. read more

Not too bad. Lacking in atmosphere, perhaps, but there's a nice seated area with sofas upstairs (the 'make out zone' or something like that, from memory) and you could do a lot worse with some of the places nearby. read more

Great location, cool friendly staff, in a lovely decorated pub. We were in Camden last Saturday evening and headed into The Camden Eye for dinner. The menu was great with lots to choose from and the food itself was so good! Freshly made food and reasonable portions. The drinks selection was impressive, they have lots of obscure spirits which was nice to see, the bartender made the BEST Gin & Tonic i've ever tasted with my favourite Blackwood's Vintage gin. The wine list was cool too, pretty unique selection. We chilled in the lounge for a while before we went downstairs when there was some cool DJs on later, the music was great, taking requests and The Libertines drummer even played a DJ Set. There was a lot to offer for a free entry night. Everyone was really enjoying themselves and there was a feel-good community atmosphere within the bar. We'll definitely be going back to The Camden Eye regularly. read more

Took the tube up to Camden for an afternoon during a recent trip and popped in here for a quick lunch as it was the first place we saw. Standard London beer selection for which I'd give the place 2 stars, but I'll bump them up one more for the best bangers and mash I had while I was here. read more

last time I visited was many years ago and this was a dross pub you would walk in one door and straight out the other. pleased to say its not only completely cleaned up, but now also has a warm welcome from the staff, its clean, has some quirky theme (eyes on the wall paper, and a curious 'no lipstick' notice behind the bar!) and the food is lovely. Simple pub grub with some nice twists. Great range of beers, including Bombardier, Spitfire, Moretti, Deuchers (which was off when I called, to the embarrassment of the Deuchers rep who was also there the barman said it would take him 20 minutes to change it so he he wasn't bothering!) Wainrights and Strongbow. Wines were competitively priced and a reasonable selection for a pub. the corner location means there are many windows to watch the passing throngs and traffic from. Also has a comfy upstairs lounge. it does get packed weekend evenings, but weekdays its a nice London pub offering good wholesome food and service. read more

I love this place. Located so perfectly. 180 degree view of Camden. And even sitting in the upstairs lounge is amazing, watching busy Camden life going by. Food is great, and beer is very good. Only bad thing I have to say is that the cute bartender wasn't single. read more

went here daytime, was chilled out place but busy. had the pizza with cheese, tomato, ham. blinding! not good for my diet when it tastes that good. didnt drink alcohol, so can comment on price, pizza was only a tenner read more

Full of tourists, and the bartenders were American and rude! My group of friends had a nice drink, which was overpriced; paid for some chips that came 45 min later!! I don't recommend for locals, it was terrible. read more
