Like A Local Guide

This unassuming little pub provides an unexpected escape from the tourists crowds milling around the Stables Market , and just beyond the front bar lies a hidden beer garden oasis. Read more

Olly Newport

Great soundtrack, nice rotating selection of keg and cask from the US and locally. However, staff : get your heads out of your arses, good grief.

Jason

Went through a re-fit about 9 months ago and it's one of those re-fits which seems to work. Good atmopshere, friendly staff was quite buzzing when I visited.

Petra Köstinger

Best pub in Camden Town ! Fantastic burgers & chips , free live music , nice garden and roof terrace .

Joan L.

Get there early on sunny days. There’s a limit of six per group in the garden .Had to wait more the 20 minutes for drinks despite the pub not being that busy. Server gave our drinks to another table

Richard Harris

Seriously hip . Good burgers , Nice interior, excellent roof garden with view over stables market .

Tastebuds

Free gigs most Sundays hosted by a variety of promoters. If the weather's nice, head out back to the fairylight-lit beer garden . Pretty...

Miguel V.

Amazing place to have a pint upstairs outside if the weather is good.

Lydia Berkennou

If you love Camden, then it's the place to be. Especially when the weather is great.

Erwin Burgos

They seem to prefer to serve women and emo people there and every body else are treated rudely. First time I experience this but it’s good that there are so many other places in Camden.

Cyndie Da Rocha

Beer garden , gigs and cosy rooftop . Bloody Mary is bomb.

Jan Paukner

Gigs, peoples, drinks, terrace , beer garden ????????

Raul Hernandez Lopez

Great place, it's amazing when sunny, cool terrace over here

Alina Stylianou

Buzzy, big beer garden and terrace , very social, young, hip and indie. Regular DJ indie night on a Wednesday.

Andrew Dobbs

Bit too trendy for its own good, but a great place for a few summer pints if you can get a table on the roof terrace ... come wearing skinny jeans , edgy asymmetric haircut , and unshowered!

Evening Standard

After you’ve finished your Sunday Roast , head to Camden’s canal-side Lock Tavern, where DJ sets start at 3pm. Read more

Sunday roast dinner is lovely! Slow roast belly pork is great!

2 for 1 burgers and chips every Wednesday-less than a tenner all together

Armando Kotunoupulos

Good vibe and excellent customer service. Recommended!

Poppy Byron

The Bloody Marys are spectacular!

Ashley Halliday

Go during midweek when quieter - they have some 'eclectic ' bands/promoters upstairs then which can be brilliant. Far too busy/packed at weekends to make it as fun. Read more

Elena S

Very trendy place , good selection of drinks

Mia

Cool rooftop and it's reasonably cheap !

Rodrigo Campos

Really nice rooftop beer garden .

S M

Pulled pork burger on the roof terrace - delicious!

Michelle

Crowded on Sat night,but good vibe! Edgy , smart, good beers on tap . But bouncers closed off smoking/beer gardens on both levels about 11ish, so be wary.

Mark Weeden

Great venue with good size garden for pre and post Roundhouse gig beverages Read more

The rudest servers here. Waited almost 30 mins to order food. The waiters just kept walking past talking to each other.
