Reviews of Tapping The Admiral

A. M.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Wide selection of real ales, nicely kept. Lovely home made beef pie hit the spot. Traditional pub interior with eclectic decorations and outside seating area. I will definitely revisit again.

S. D.

Friendly and relaxed Atmosphere and an excellent roast. Great crackling with the pork and my wife thoroughly enjoyed the vegetarian option. My daughter and friend both agreed the beef and chicken were very tasty and well cooked. The only slight grumble was it could of been served a bit hotter. But will definitely be going back for another roast soon. Cheers.

J. D.

What a great pub this is. Beer was good or so my husband told me. Great atmosphere & friendly staff. Best part was pub cat, Nelson. Even had his own custom made chaise long by the fire.

P. J.

Died and gone to heaven type pub. Only you don't have to die. Bonus!

b. m.

I had some of the best roast beef I've ever eaten. I've only been once so can't say it's consistently this good but I was very happy and I'll for sure go back. It seems like a really friendly local pub, busy with regulars. There's a house cat called Nelson who's very particular about having fresh water to drink - nice touch

P. C.

Terrific find between Camden and Kentish Town. Great beers, CAMRA pub, pie and a pint on Mondays, great staff and GOOD ALE!

D. J.

Such a special pub. I live 40 miles away but it feels like my local. So friendly and sensible beer prices. Thanks. 👍

a. s.

This place! Beautiful, friendly and with a fireplace! After we had some weird and unpleasant experience in a local pub we came here to find a refuge and oh my god we found it!! Beautiful friendly atmosphere, informative stuff, amazing beer, warm fire, lively atmosphere...we would give it more than 5 stars , very happy

R. H. E.

Best pub in the area by far; great vibe, staff and the chef is super. After having so many awful Sunday Roasts in London, I can honestly say this is the best I've had. Really great meat option (Belly pork is sooo goood) but they also cater for veggies/vegans and gluten free really well and still super good. Taken quite a few friends and all leave super happy.

A. R.

Great chill pub for a Sunday roast! Also the cutest, most lazy pub cat!

L. G. S.

Great pub, good range of beers, quite cheap for the area £12-13 for 3 pints. Awesome atmosphere with a small beer garden around the back. There's a cute cat and a fireplace which adds to the ambience.

C. R.

Went here for a few beers and food before a concert at Kentish Town O2 venue. Very welcoming and friendly with a good range of cask and keg beers. Food was good, especially the pies. Cute pub cat lying on a cushion on windowsill keeps an eye on things.

G. L.

Good beer selection. A decent range of craft beer and real ale. This place has loads of charm with an open fire and a friendly pub cat. We will return for sure

D. P.

A very good Sunday Roast, the pork was tasty, with nice crunchy crackling, and the roast beef was served rare, as requested. Good sized portions. On Thursday evenings a group of locals play music guitars, and other instruments. All very casual and a good atmosphere. Good ales. Previously, June 2021: Plenty of atmosphere in this old fashioned award winning pub. A must visit if you're into craft beer, with several different kegs on from around the UK (and regularly change). Food is well regarded and famous for the pies. Covid friendly.

G. A.

The resident cat is so reassuring that it will keep rodents at bay and patrons well entertained. Delightful service who accommodated my request to make my chips extra crisp.

C. G.

Fabulous, traditional pub. Great selection of real ales and ciders.

E. C.

Ordered the turkey pie from the Christmas menu. It was the best pie I've had in a while (possibly ever). The roast potatoes and veg were excellent too. It was an enormous plate of food (there's a dessert spoon for scale in the picture)! Definitely exceeded expectations - I would recommended this if you're still looking for a place for a Christmas gathering.

W. H.

Beef pie and chicken wrap with chips was amazing!! Staff was very curious and the beer garden is super cool. Loved the food and the staff! Recommend (:

P. D.

Brilliant pub, great selection of reasonably priced beers on tap, very comfortable and welcoming inside and out, dog friendly and best of all the staff are friendly as, what more could you want?

E. H.

Lovely, friendly pub, with adorable resident cat, Nelson. Beer selection not bad either :)

c. g.

What a pub. Great selection of beer, a fire, a cat, friendly staff and plenty of old style pub knick-knacks.

g. t.

Superb locals pub with a great selection of ales, superb staff and amazing live music on a Thursday night with whiskey mick and friends

T. P.

Never had a dodgy pint here. Our party had all the pies-vegan lentil and butternut squash, veggie celeriac musroom and parmeasn and meat pies chicken leek and tarragon and lamb and carrot. Blooming lovely pastry. Big and hearty. Good service welcoming vibe, simple funky decor. A proper pub.

J. O.

One of the best examples of a friendly neighborhood pub imaginable. Cask ale and grub

R. M.

Vicky's Guinness is top quality. We're all Irish, was just like home. 10/10

K. M.

Really nice pub , friendly staff and locals

E. M.

I’ve lived in Camden for six years and am moving next Spring. Of all the things I’ll miss, Tapping the Admiral is number one. It is a great, great pub.

S. V.

Amazing choice of beers and....Nelson ❤️❤️😻

M. T.

Excellent!! Went there on a Monday night was very comfortable. They have a pie and pint offer on Monday and Tuesday's for £12! Such great value for money. Plus the pie and mash was lovely. Great service, good cheap food/drink. What more could you want?

S. N.

Fantastic local old time boozer. Great place for a pint with a fun eclectic mix of patrons

V. T.

Class pub, great ale selection, brilliant food! Can't go wrong. Hopefully they will have live folk music again on Thursdays soon!

C. K.

Ok place with a lot of history on the walls, I went in by myself, which I can't recommend during rush hour. The music was a tad too loud, when I asked for the beergarden I got direction's to the toilet, maybe I'm just blind, but I'm blaming the volume. Some of the intriguing décor could use a dusting I bumped my head on a branch hanging between the wall and bar, and had to pull some spiderwebs from my hair. Otherwise a ok place with locals and seemingly friendly staff.

K. D.

Great food and cool vibe, could improve on the customer service.

J. C.

My family ran this pub over 30 years ago back when it was The Trafalgar , around the time it stared in the film “Breaking Glass” with Hazel O’Connor where all the windows got smashed in by a far right wing group of thugs who got upset with Hazels band performing, where I witnessed a duo of Ukelele players last Friday evening, after a period of decline and closure, it’s been and had a remarkable reawakening, a real pub with real friendly locals, you’re never be short of a conversation or two, make sure you bring your CAMRA membership card as they give a discount off the excellent selection of ales, the place is stuffed to the gills with Nelson artefacts also, be sure to say hi to the pet cat Nelson who is featured in a book on pub cats! It’s got a great selection of veggie foods to boot!

B. H.

Lovely pub, pleasant and polite staff

w. t.

Nice cask beer, interior is great and that's it. Low atmosphere, poor service.

W. C.

Shhh this is the best pub in NW London. Just don't tell anyone

S. C.

Excellent service and lovely food. Staff were very friendly. Pub has a welcoming atmosphere.

L. A.

Superb beer. If you love your real ale then this is the pub for you. Staff have always been friendly in all the years I've been going. Decked and heated outdoor area is a lovely bonus all year round.

A. K.

Great pub away from the bustle of Camden Market. Amazing roast and great selection of beer. Highly recommend it.

V. C.

Fantastic, a proper pub, very welcoming atmosphere. They had been exceptionally busy but happily put in extra potatoes and veg and took our order. Food was really good, a real traditional homemade roast, they offer lamb, beef, chicken and they do have a vegetarian option. I had lamb, very nice. Staff are all very pleasant and very helpful. Will definitely be returning...

M. D.

Loved the atmosphere, esp as the place was done up really nicely for Halloween. The outdoor area is particularly nice with heaters for the winter. It helped that there were a few very friendly dogs around. Good selection of beers on tap, and the pies looked tasty though I didn't try one.

D. J.

The staff was very attentive to our needs and that is always awesome for a pub. We only had drinks so next time I'll try the food!

P. T.

Very cozy pub with great food, decent selection of ales and ciders and even a cat that walks around and rests by the fire!

N. W.

I've said it before, and I will say it again. One of the best pubs in London and possibly the South East. Alert: CAMRA discount!

P. S.

Great boozer, a bit off the main drag but worth a visit. Famous for its pies.. and the ones we had lived up to it. We went on a Saturday night and some pies had sold out, but the ones we had were huge and tasty. I had the Rabbit and loved it. Service was not so quick, think that might have been issues in the kitchen, but staff gave us a free round and looked after us so we were happy enough.

A. M.

Great food and stunning beers Will be going back

K. A.

Tucked away off the busy main roads, a super friendly local vibe. Barstools and good beer kind of place. I go every few months for a drink and a catch up with friends. Well kept and Heated Outdoor space is popular in summer and winter. Fire inside in the winter with eclectic furniture in the 'admiral' theme (done in a non tacky way). Staff are efficient and relaxed, happy to make conversations with the regulars. Seems to be all are welcome.

S. A.

Great place. Great staff. Really welcoming

s. w.

Brilliant pub, excellent choice of real ale and the best staff. Loads of different characters from all walks of life Steve walker Today, I was treated in a very derogatory manner, I went to the toilet, and when I came back my beer had been removed, the manager Phil did not understand that I was under the influence of alcohol, and was upset at what had occurred, this bloke should not be a manager. I have always treated the staff at this establishment with respect, I was shocked, at the attitude of Phil the manager, who told me that I was shouting, I was not aggressive, maybe loud but not aggressive, Phil you overstepped your mark

L. J.

My local. Great cider, really friendly staff, vibe is chill, the pies are phenomenal. Deserves more than a 4.6

J. D.

Brilliant community pub with lots of space and great beers available. The food is very good too, I had the bangers and mash... Delicious! Also... You know it's a good pub when they have their own cat! His name is Nelson. Be nice to him 😁

E. G.

Lovely staff and a great selection of real ale and craft beer. They have an absolutely stunning beer garden. If you are there on a Thursday evening, you may be luckily enough to be entertained by Whiskey Mick and a rather merry band of trad-style musicians - if you fancy it, you can even join in.

J. S.

Best pub in North London hands down. I really hope the Admiral survives the assault being waged on pubs around the country by greedy landlords and prohibitive business rates because it's a real gem this place. Lived around the corner for a year and it's a real genuine community pub. The staff are really personable, there's no tvs, great selection of beers, an adorable pub cat called Nelson and a really comfortable interior. I recommend the quiz nights and Irish folk music on Thursdays. Don't miss out

C. H.

One of London’s best pubs and pub food.

L. O.

Rated the best pub in north London and I'd probably say for a good reason. Staff are personable and nice to regulars. Pies are INCREDIBLE. Beer selection is alright for a traditional pub. Some classic foreign bottles available, and a push on the "real ale" casks. Great place for a cozy night with a hot pie. Check it out Monday/Tuesday for pie and a pint for about £10

k. G.

Good staff service and an excellent choice of Real Ales.

I. P.

Usually never give reviews but this time I have to-this was one of the nicest experiences I had in a pub so far. Started a chat with a local and a bartender, they were so nice, friendly and helpful. Will let you taste ales which come in great selection. We had pies for lunch, and they were great. I'll definitely come back, pub is sort of a hidden gem, slightly out of the Camden busy main street, but worth finding

E. P.

Great Bloody Mary!! Yummy roast and pies.

J. L.

I'm not a fan of pubs but I have to say I loved this place. Food was good for Sunday lunch, not cheap but food was good. Staff were very nice. They have a jam session night think on Thursdays. Loved it. There is a smoking area (always helps) and a nice bunch of regulars. Highly recommend

D. H.

We went there on New Year's Eve for the first time and so this probably wasn't representative. However it was a friendly lively pub. The beer was good, well kept and several types of real ales. We had a great time and would have no hesitation in going back again if we are in the area.

M. D.

Great pub just off of Camden! They have a pub quiz every Wednesday and the beer selection is great. Try and spot the pub-cat while you're there. Nelson likes to walk around when he's not sleeping. There's a beer garden out back too.

P. H.

Great friendly pub offering real ales. Food was also great

l. j.

Lovely back garden, great selection of craft beers. Lively atmosphere. Makes it a fantastic place to meet a buch of friends or even to go for a quiet drink. Definitely be going here a lot more often. A wonderful find.

L. E.

Love this pub. Just of the beaten track in the heart of busy Camden. An authentic boozer experience, inclusive and friendly staff, great choice of beers and ale and surprisingly serves the best chips we've had in Camden. Long live Tapping the Admiral!!

W. D.

Very good pub in back street.. there was a good selection of beers... including some Dark Star for example, a good example...the pub has a good atmosphere full of what appeared to be 'young people', not entirely.. I was there after all. The white wine was also decent according to the absolute darling....we sat in the outside area..quite acceptable.

M. R.

A pub with great character and great, well-kept beers and wines. Only slightly let down by poor service from one of the bar staff, who seemed away with the fairies any time she served anyone. Other bar staff were great though. Would definitely return!

N. W.

An off the cuff decision to go to a pub off the beaten track that turned out wonderfully. We walked in on a great time. Comforting and full of character, loads of musicians in the corner playing folk classics and an excellent selection of cask and keg ales. A truly great pub.

A. C.

Fantastic hidden gem of a pub. Plenty of hand pumps with a great selection of casks & cider. Very friendly staff and customers. Food was a significant step above average pub fare. Very good value.

J. S.

We waited an hour for food, only to find out they had forgotten the order. Luckily, the barman offered the 2 of us a free round of drinks, which softened the blow slightly. They were serving bloody mary as a special cocktail and it was excellent. The Sunday roast tasted delicious but was a bit expensive compared to others in London, and was only mild in temperature. Additionally, it was just the start of winter so they might not have had the heating on - it was chilly where we sat. It could easily be 4 or 5 stars if they improve on food service and keeping the food/ambience hot.

C. B.

We were walking through a housing estate and found this little gem. We loved it and the pub cat. Beer garden is cosy too. One young barman was rude and needs further training, but the others were pleasant.

G. L.

So what do you want from a pub? Good atmosphere, good food, knowledgeable staff about excellent beer, with a very appropriate range of choices. Anything else you need? Oh the locals are friendly too. I can't recommend the Admiral too highly.

B. M.

Great pub. Can get a bit crowded, but that's because it's so god! Large back area, generally 6-8 great beers on all in good condition.

E. R.

Quite simply my favourite boozer in London. The people make this place as the bar staff are always willing to greet you with a smile and a little idle chat. Once you get to ordering their incredibly broad selection of beers, ales and liquor offers a smorgasbord of options which they’re more than willing for you to taste before committing. Cosy up next to Nelson the pub cat and tuck into one of their delectable homemade pies with lashings of gravy and mash. The Admiral has a special place reserved in my heart.

S. W.

What a bozzer! Great relaxed atmosphere with fantastic bar staff serving a good variety of reasonably priced ales. The Sunday roast is a must. And the pub's cat is a right star. Get yourself to this real gem.

A. E.

Great pub: has a real 'local' feel. The staff are helpful and fun, the cask beer selection is great, and it's usually not too busy. There's an outside decking section, but there's not a lot of seating so it's mostly for smokers.

l. f.

Wicked pub with excellent tap selection. Staff are always friendly as is the local cat, with good seating in and outdoors 👍🏼

S. D.

Offers the standard Sunday roast menu but quality (and serving size) was excellent. Pints come cheap too and have a decent selection of guest ales

C. J.

My Local, no matter where I live, no matter where I go - The Admiral is my local. It still is a neighbourhood pub and has such a diverse and interesting patrons. GREAT selection of beer, ale, wine and spirits. And swing by and get uourself fed up nicely! by Chef Matt, and his crew. fantastic staff, brilliant times! Love this place!

S. L.

i love this pub, it’s hidden away in the residential streets of Camden but it’s so worth going. the beers are always fresh, the service is good and it provides a bit of intimacy from the craziness of other pubs around

C. M.

I've visited Tapping the Admiral a couple of times and have enjoyed it each time. They used to have a £5 lunch menu which was excellent value for money and really varied. Just spotted this has gone up in price but it wouldn't put me off going. Staff are very friendly and chatty and the place is decorated well. I'm not a big beer/ale drinker but I hear it's particularly good for those that are. If you're part of a large party then I'd phone ahead and get your order in for food. Highly recommend this place!

B. F.

One of the best pubs around and a deserved CAMRA award winner. Reasonably priced (gives a CAMRA discount on ales) good food friendly bar staff and even fantastic cat called Nelson. Has a regular quiz, a poker night ever week and sometimes folk music. If you wish to avoid these things, then the layout of the pub makes these easy to avoid. There is one TV that very occasionally shows international sport but is otherwise rarely on. It's difficult to see how this place could improve.

J. “. B.

Really nice local pub. Really friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Only stayed for drinks this time but will definitely be back for food!

y. b. (.

After having such bad service at another establishment it was a breath of fresh air to step into the tap. Bar staff and kitchen staff were a delight even the locals are quick to start conversation. Service was exceptional, beer was excellent and they played most of jimi hendrix back catalogue on Spotify. This pub is a must!

T. D.

Really nice pub with a terrace (major plus!!!) And many craft ciders and beers. Got a little tasting of ciders in order to choose mine! How exciting, you don't get this kind of service everywhere 😀

S. H.

One of London's finest proper pubs. Always a fine selection of cask & keg beers plus excellent unpretentious food. A delight.

A. M.

An exceptionally friendly pub from the owners of the well regarded Pineapple in Leverton street. Really good selection of ever changing well kept real ales, justifiably a repeated winner of the CAMRA North London pub of the year award. The gastro pub style food is good (better than the Pineapples Thai menu). The bar service is always fast and the resident cat; Nelson, is often happy to be stroked.

S. S.

Great pub. Delicious pie. Adorable cat!

C. S.

Great pub. Quirky, kitsch decorations. Plenty of different sized tables. Real character, good drinks, good food. Friendly staff and punters.

C. H.

Really nice cosy backstreet pub with a good beer selection, lots of seating, a large outdoor seating area and a cat. Perfect for a drink before a gig at the roundhouse.

D. L. (.

Cute local pub with real ales. While the name has changed over the years the feeling inside has not. It still has that local pub feel. If you are in the Camden Town area the small.walk to this pub is worth it to get away from the turists and have a pint with a local.

C. G.

It’s taken years to find a pub which I can call ‘my local’. The Tap is it. Great food in a lovely tucked away location. The definition of a hidden gem. The staff scrub up too.

A. M.

One of my favourites on a trip to London. Not to be missed. Great staff and great ales.

T. H.

Revisiting, a few weeks on, and just as lovely, the kind of place you hesitate to leave review for as you don't want it flooded by people who'd turn it into something else. I love the vibe, halfway between friendly local and dive (in a very, very good way). Great selection of real ales and ciders, folk behind the bar couldn't be more helful, and they have a cat. What more could anyone want?

G. S.

One of the few classic backstreet locals in London. Really chill atmosphere, solid ale selection and great back patio. Good balance of craft beer focus without being snobbish.

E. H.

There's a reason this pub has so many five star reviews. Good beer and the pie was amazing, also there was a cat and some impromptu live music. Looking forward to coming back

J. A.

Nice, friendly pub with a good atmosphere. Had a passionate singalong with the locals and staff to The Pogues' 'Fairytale of New York' on a recent Christmas pub crawl.

J. N.

One of my favourite pubs in London. Amazing beer selection, cheap, very tasty food, good seating both indoors and outdoors.

m. s.

Excellent ale house in west Kentish Town. Specialises in London breweries. Comfortable and usually not overcrowded. Beer prices are very reasonable with further discount for CAMRA members. Good food range and excellent Sunday roasts

P. P.

Great little pub with a great selection of beers (quite cheap, you can't find easily a pint under £4 nowadays in London) and a nice open space at the back. Sunday roast was OK.

C. D.

Always a top session at this back street boozer, welcoming locals & visitors alike. Fine beers & outstanding service. Long live this gem of a pub.

L. K.

Best pub in North London hands down.. Been here quite a few times and its never disappointed me.. Its a pub that you definitely call old school.. No TVs which for some people is a bad thing but in this pub you can't tell the difference.. Lively atmosphere and lovely cat called Nelson.. Will definitely be returning.. Just hope it don't close down like other pubs have because of greedy landlords, etc.. Don't think 5 stars is enough for this pub, would give 10 if I had the option

S. M.

Great selection of beers and a really nice interior with open fire. Wouldn't recommend going there to eat as I had a bad experience but they were very good about it so still worth a visit for a pint

G. A.

Cozy and quite place for chats and spend time with friends

A. T.

Diamond pub...offering a marvellous selection of Ales and Ciders..Did not eat there but watched the meals coming out..looked impressive..knowledgeable and friendly staff make for a great night out in an old school establishment...Spot on...!!!!! Camra members welcome and offered discount with relevant card...

W. S.

Great local atmosphere and throwback feel

R. P.

Friendly local pub, increasingly popular with trendy twenty-somethings. They have a wide selection of beers, and offer a discount for CAMRA members. Kitchen open until late. The Wednesday night quiz (starting at 9pm) is a lot of fun, with some amusingly Byzantine rules and possible prizes of cash and drinks.

D. F. d. l. C.

The best pub around, great atmosphere in a quiet corner.

F. “. G.

I didn't go inside but sat out side on the bench it was closed but it was evening when I was there I don't know if it's still open but it used to be very friendly place for adults to go

G. F.

Like good booze and live music? Whiskey Thursday sessions with Whiskey Mick at Tapping The Admiral - Best thing you can do on a Thursday night in Camden.

S. O.

Friendly staff. Great beer. Feels like a real pub, not a hipster hangout. Definitely want to come back again to try the food.

M. V.

Lovely pub. A hidden gem in Camden. Great selection of beers and great staff too.

I. W.

One of Kentish Town's hidden gems. It's a bit off the beaten track so can be slightly tricky to find. However, the Admiral is one of the best real ale pubs in Kentish Town and is worth a visit. In summer you can sit at their beer garden at the back. Friendly staff and reasonable prices make this a great place to visit.

P. M.

Hidden gem, don't be shy and ask the staff to try the ales before you order the staff is always cool about it and they will guide you to find your perfect pint. Nelson the cat has its days some days super friendly some days is reluctant to engage

V. A.

Extremely cozy (the fireplace is a must), good service and great pies. The star, however, is definitely Nelson, the resident cat.

A. R.

Nice spacious pub with garden not far from Kentish Town.

m.

I am never cooking a Sunday roast again...I had the lamb and my friend had the beef...both superb, The vegetables were done to perfection and as for the roasties! Best Yorkshires I've ever had. Will be back !!!

D. M.

Decent London boozer, big range of handle ales and lagers on tap. Much like the rest of London, no one smiles and friendly chat was nonexistent.

E. C.

Great beer selection, great atmosphere. Off the beaten track it is one of the few proper traditional pubs in the area.

P. P.

The pies here are on another level. Proper pub!

R. G.

If you like ales this is for you. Staff very friendly also!!

T. V.

Excellent selection of real ales, impeccably kept by a landlord who really cares. Great staff, interesting locals and a cat called Nelson. Dog friendly,

j. c.

Great pub, great selection of cask ales, friendly service, call here on way to Arsenal v Sheffield United game Camra discount too , Best real ale pub in Camden

S. C.

This is a proper real ale pub. They have an amazing selection of ales. Nice atmosphere and there's a small outside seating area too.

J. H.

This pub is a rare gem.

E. L.

Great little place for a few pints. Gets a bit crowned so if you want a sit down chat find a bar as there’s many nearby.

M. Z.

Really great food and lovely inside and outside areas. Have never had a negative experience here. You may spot the pub cat too!

V. M.

Superb choice and great service. Love the fairy lights in the garden.

T. H.

Proper pub. Great staff and lovely friendly atmosphere. Not easy to find but well worth the effort. Nelson the cat rules the roost.

D. G.

Great local community pub serving good real ale with discount to CAMRA members. Good knowledgeable staff. Highly recommend.

J. A.

Great pub, good beer selection and tasty food. Best of all, the pub has a cat. More pubs need cats.

K. T.

Very nice pub, beer and staff in a location close to Kentish Town West Overground Rail Station. Was good to see Nelson the pub cat also.

S. M.

Great Friday after work drinks spot, has outside seating and friendly staff. They have a small selection of food, decent enough pub food.

J. L. B.

A. B.

Great Cheese 🧀 Burger 🍔!!! 👍 👌

T. G. (.

Nice and cosy place!!!

Great local pub. Excellent selection of beers. Great atmosphere

D. W.

Great proper pub. Good cosy and chilled vibe. Also has an amazing roast on Sunday.

C. R.

A wide variety of beers, nice people and a lovely pub cat. A real good visit for everyone.

S. R.

Everything great except for the prices, but that's not their fault (beyond the words 'tax' and 'government' there's not much to add. Go there, you'll enjoy yourself.

J. A. A.

One of my favorite pubs. Excellent real ale and a discount for CAMRA members. Food is pretty good too.

I. M.

Sister pub to the Pineapple (other side of Kentish Town) this is a friendly CAMRA pub with a buzzy local crowd made up of young and old with history dripping off the walls.

M. G.

Great menu, many options to choose from especially the drinks. A bit pricey though

A. B.

Decent food, goo selection of ales. Friendly staff.

d. V. z.

Fantastic pub - great beer selection, decent food, and overall a brilliant vibe.

J. D.

Local pub. Friendly staff. Pub cat. Unsurpassed beer selection. Traditional decor. A welcome relief from your souless done-up pub.

F. A.

Amazing staff, beer and menu. Friendly people and a great pub to grab a drink with Nelson the cat.

S. H.

I´ve been here several time, good range of beers, nice staff and nice atmosphere but I have to say the last time I was there with a friend I was served with a very rude girl, but I am not going to take into consideration.

S. P.

Try the pies, they are worth the visit alone. Besides the awesome pies, there's a very decent selection on ales, and a resident cat. Staff seem to change regularly but always pretty friendly

M. B.

Cosy pub with good food and ale, and a cat

B. B.

Great atmosphere, very individual. Nice to go with friends, but also a great pub to spend a Sunday afternoon in with a book.

V. S.

Lovely old pub selling a wide range of cask ales and is mentioned in CAMERA . Does excellent pies as well.

M. C.

Great little place. Good staff and fabulous food! The risotto was the best I've had out of Italy (and my kitchen 😉)

B. K.

Came here on a christmas pub crawl. Loved the choice of craft Ales. If you like good beer. Come here. Also is hidden away from the hustle and bustle of camden

F. W.

Nice pub with good outdoor space and very reasonably priced beer. Also has a TV which is a plus for me

A. S.

(Translated) Magnificent place just 5 minutes from Camden. A place to beer and eat with great quality. Their meatloaf is amazing, and their Cajun chicken is close behind. Friendly and attentive waiters. All beautifully decorated for Halloween. Bar of patrons but very open to everything and everyone. And the cat Nelson, always waving. HIGHLY recommended. (Original) Magnífico local a solo 5 mins de Candem. Sitio donde cervecear y comer con gran calidad. Su pastel de carne es increíble, y su pollo cajún le sigue de cerca. Camareros amables y atentos. Todo decorado genialmente para Halloween. Bar de parroquianos pero muy abierto a todo y a todos. Y el gato Nelson, siempre saludando. MUY recomendable.

B. Á.

(Translated) Wonderful place. An essential place to eat quietly when you come to Camden. Cajun meatloaf and chicken are awesome dishes. (Original) Wonderful place. Un lugar imprescindible para comer tranquilamente cuando vienes a Candem. El pastel de carne y el pollo Cajun son platos impresionantes.

C. H.

(Translated) An authentic English tavern, simple but well prepared dishes. The luxury garnish that give value to the main ingredient. If you do not like cats, bad place, a beautiful black cat with white legs is the owner of the great stove of the place (Original) Una auténtica taberna inglesa, platos sencillos pero bien elaborados. La guarnición de lujo que le dan valor al ingrediente principal. Si no te gustan los gatos, mal sitio, un precioso gato negro con patas blancas es el dueño de la estupenda estufa del lugar

M. B.

(Translated) If you come to Camden on a Sunday, it is worth coming to try their roasts, chicken, lamb and enjoy the atmosphere of an authentic English pub. I think it's one of the best places I've eaten in England (Original) Si vienes a Camden un domingo, merece la pena venir a probar sus asados, pollo, cordero y disfrutar del ambiente de un pub inglés auténtico. Creo que es de los mejores sitios en los que he comido en Inglaterra
