Justine ArrecheDecember 3, 2014Quirky 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.
Carl GriffinSeptember 20, 2016Plenty of great music events on most days. This pub was Lenin's local before he went back to lead the Russian Revolution.
Zack WilliamsJuly 3, 2022Great 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 ❤️
- Hayley MillerDecember 8, 2014Always a good place for a drink and live music upstairs on Thursdays...also currently have Psychic burger kitchen mmmm
Heena KaraniDecember 5, 2016Turns into a club in the evenings. Playing r'n'b/hip hop music. Relaxed atmosphere & no problems getting in.
Stefanie ColburnOctober 3, 2014Lively pub, great for a group. Really good music downstairs and upstairs as well - although depends on the night
Chris R (thechristophe)August 31, 2018Nice pub with venue for gigs upstairs. Vegan/vegetarian burger on the menu but depressingly just a mushroom in a bun.
hotel.infoAugust 23, 2011Very 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
Alex RichardsJuly 30, 2015This place has a nice little outdoor courtyard and seating area, really nice in the summer.- Alex RichardsJuly 30, 2015Great place. Enjoy a Sunday roast dinner whilst watching watching live acoustic music. A real nice place.
Brittany SübersJanuary 19, 2020The 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.
Vic McGinApril 27, 2015Fun 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.
Leonardo De La RochaDecember 29, 2011Stay for the live music and catch the house Karaoke band on Tuesday nights for an incredible taste of drunken London at its finest.
Debs DebsSeptember 27, 2016Super lively pub quiz every Tuesdays 7.30pm with silly team's rounds and lot's of drinks rounds. Food is ok.
Edith SOctober 29, 2014Atmospheric pub. I've been to a couple of interesting events on weekday evenings. Food looks good (Psychic Burgers?!) but not tried it yet.
Christopher WeirOctober 15, 2015Really nice pub with an amazing atmosphere. The burgers are great too!
Zsuzsanna VorosDecember 5, 2011The music room is amazing with cool sofas and chandeliers! Have a pint and listen some great music...
Sravanti TekumallaJune 7, 2018A surprisingly good veggie burger and 5 pound cocktails on Wednesdays 🙌🏽
Seth HaleyJuly 17, 2013They have Blantons, that's good enough for me to call it a favorite spot. Great garden as well.
Great art nouveau on first floor, but if you want draught beer you have to buy it downstairs.
Justin GoringAugust 3, 2013Record Fair every first Saturday of the month. But beware the prices are to be negotiated!
Natalie DenmanMay 24, 2014Quirky place, but I got more then I bargained for with a sharp piece of metal wire in my burger.
Jon BillsJune 26, 2016It's a nice pub, the staff are friendly but service can be slow. Live music upstairs.
Geoff GibsonMarch 26, 2011I really want to like this pub. It looks good, and is always full. However, having to pay to get in is a bit much. Atmosphere's not that great, cloakrooms £2 and you just think... Is it worth it? No.
Sam DuffyApril 24, 2012Lovely music venue upstairs but don't order a G&T unless you want a short overpriced glass of barely alcoholic tonic.
Tom CowardAugust 31, 2010Pub 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.
