I had a great experience, bar staff polite and helpful, great deal due to 50 percent off, possibly BEST steak I have had in my life, GF enjoyed her meatballs too, London Pinchos was interesting and ve

Great place for a post-work drink in the week. But avoid on a Saturday night- you have to queue to get in from about 8pm!!

David

If your looking for a night out to please a mixed crowd this is probably the best place in the area. Dancing is at the back.

Alexander Robinson

The disco light dance floor here is pretty special. Head to the back to find it.

Vic McGin

Food is quite nice! Cool in the afternoon, but be warned, at night it becomes a proper meat market . Not going to lie though, I love the light up dance floor .

Michaela Watkinson

Mmmm amazing pizza & garlic bread . They are huge so could definitely share!

Jennifer Hicks

They seem to change their menu on a weekly basis. So if you find something you like, don't count on seeing it next time. Still, great beer selection . Not the typical London bar offerings.

Antonio Bertucci

The 30 burger + parmesan topped fries combo is terrific.

Tatjana Sendzimir

They have Lagunitas IPA . You should drink that. It's incredibly wonderful.

Simon Wong

Excellent burgers . W&E burger is a right tasty treat!

Charis Bury

Great local, the food is proper delicious. Service is casual style, but the staff are really helpful and friendly . Try a cherry tom collins !

Tahnee Osler

Fun place, especially when bands are on. Nice food but if you don't fancy any thing there cross the road and grab something at The Diner .

John Booth

Good beers and decent food in a modern yet comfy space.

Jon Foster

Great pub , tonnes of space so great for big groups and parties.

Tom Bishop

Come here on Saturday nights for an assault on the senses. Too hot, too loud , and too dark. Amazing!

Nathan Halberstater

Good pub and the lights are unique feature.

Rylan Holey

Get a pint of 5am Brewdog. Oh and definitely see the light up dance floor in Satan's Circus .

Ceara Pixie

There's a hidden disco dance floor at the back

Anselm Chatwin

Even though the 50% offer is no longer on the food is still worth it. Especially the Sunday roast . Great beer selection as well .

Johnny Bloomfield

Get there early for Sunday lunch we arrived at 15:30 there was no beef . The chicken was a lovely substitute and it was 50% off

Charis Bury

BEST veggie sausages ever!!! Both in the sausage and mash and the veggie b'fast on sundays.

Around the left hand side of the bar there is a small dance room that is quite hidden.

Squid is new favourite lunch snack . Awesome with a bowl of chips .

One bouncer and one of the bar staff ruined this place by being so rude... Otherwise it's an okay bar and it's free entry.

The Camden Town Brewery wheat beer is delicious.

Bizarre door policy. Equal boys girls, no queue, 10pm: arbitrary refusal.

Darren Esp

Awesome eggs of Scotchland. Eat them with tabasco ... Eat them.

Absolutely worst service ever. Horrible and arrogant waiters who avoid responsibility and treat customers like crap. Avoid at all costs

Sarah Rae

Good for red stripe!

Peter Bines

Innit!

Alejandro Allueva

Sha'up!

Too many drinks I had, hungover I feel

Alistair Duncan

Average meal. Staff didn't seem to have clear roles so service haphazard. 50% deAl helped tho.
