Quirky old English Cabin atmosphere with great beers on tap . Try to go on a cold evening so you can enjoy the lit fire place! Might want to make a reservation as it tends to fill up around 19:00.
Ah the old queen's head is as good for a cheeky drink on a school night that it is for a full party night on weekends. Ran by the same group as The Nest & XOYO which means good music and good times.
Plenty of great music events on most days. This pub was Lenin's local before he went back to lead the Russian Revolution.
Great atmosphere. Perfect for people watching or listening to live music or raving on the dance floor . A one stop shop of good vibes! Love this place ❤️
Always a good place for a drink and live music upstairs on Thursdays...also currently have Psychic burger kitchen mmmm
Lively pub , great for a group. Really good music downstairs and upstairs as well - although depends on the night
Turns into a club in the evenings. Playing r'n'b/hip hop music . Relaxed atmosphere & no problems getting in.
Very fun pub/club (upstairs), love coming here on a Sat night. Tip: get there before 10pm on Sat night to avoid queues. Drinks (7/10), Food (6/10), Value (7/10) Read more
Fun pub during the day, but come fri or Sat night, it's some kind of hell. Charging entry and too busy. But they do now have lucky chip doing a residency, which are super burgers .
Nice pub with venue for gigs upstairs. Vegan/vegetarian burger on the menu but depressingly just a mushroom in a bun .
Atmospheric pub . I've been to a couple of interesting events on weekday evenings. Food looks good (Psychic Burgers ?!) but not tried it yet.
Great place. Enjoy a Sunday roast dinner whilst watching watching live acoustic music . A real nice place.
This place has a nice little outdoor courtyard and seating area, really nice in the summer.
Great place for a Friday/Saturday night! 5£ entry and dancefloor upstairs 👌🏼
The beers are not equally served between upstairs and down. Only Camden Hells upstairs. Drinks are expensive . 1 pint is between 5.90-6.10. On weekends after 8pm turns in to club atmosphere with queue.
Love that venue. Nice cocktails and always a fun to perform there!
Stay for the live music and catch the house Karaoke band on Tuesday nights for an incredible taste of drunken London at its finest.
Really nice pub with an amazing atmosphere. The burgers are great too!
They have Blantons, that's good enough for me to call it a favorite spot. Great garden as well .
Pub quiz on a Tuesday is so much fun... burgers are seriously good!
Super lively pub quiz every Tuesdays 7.30pm with silly team's rounds and lot's of drinks rounds. Food is ok.
A surprisingly good veggie burger and 5 pound cocktails on Wednesdays 🙌🏽
Amazing atmosphere and excellent love music venue !
Don’t miss the Sunday Roast ! Served till 7pm.
The music room is amazing with cool sofas and chandeliers ! Have a pint and listen some great music ...
Record Fair every first Saturday of the month. But beware the prices are to be negotiated!
Nice location, drinks and food plus impro theatre upstairs
Drinks and music spot. Good vibes central
Grand interior, very nice burgers courtesy of Lucky Chip
Super cosy fire, good selection of ales .
arcade on the top floor 👾
lovely interior, the beer is okay, often live music upstairs
It's a nice pub , the staff are friendly but service can be slow. Live music upstairs.
Pub quiz on a tuesday has high jackpot - but literally it all relies on the last question. Any quiz that is hosted by an ex coronation st character (spider) is worth a look.
Awesome interior
Great art nouveau on first floor, but if you want draught beer you have to buy it downstairs.
Jumping on a Saturday night! Open til 2am. Dancing upstairs.
Try the Lamb Chips . Really really yummy.
Great pub...kick ass music and phonographs as lights!!
Downstairs is nice. The upstairs is loud even on a Sunday.
Quirky place, but I got more then I bargained for with a sharp piece of metal wire in my burger .
Stylish and entertainment all week
Great music and dancefloor!
Free karaoke sundays and mondays ;)
Lovely pub ! Saw a nice concert in there.
Good for groups and gigs!
Don't forget to check out the upstairs dance floor/bar.
Really needs a cloakroom: If you don't want to hang on to your jacket all night be prepared for it to get trampled on or lost / stolen
Decor, prices
Bloody mary's are staggering.
The Bill Murray burger is to die for, soft shell crab and beef really go well together. - Dan Humphrey
Sunday roasts are great and the bloody mary is fierce and refreshing!! - Omer Cavusoglu
The t-bone steak to share is amazing. Great beer too. - Jonathan Beeston
Just wonderful. Small but delicious menu full of smoked meats and interesting veggie sides. Great beer selection and we ate well for £50. - Robert Clark
The best American style bar in London, no doubt! No matter what time of day you go in, the lights are low, the beer is flowing and the juke box is spitting out the tunes. A great night out! - Stuart Hall
