It's a pub with an active event space which makes it a little less cozy and more of a drink factory. That said, when there's not an event going on, it's a pretty casual place. The barkeeps are a little green and served everyone but me for the first half of my visit.

If you're after a pub that hosts comedy / theatre productions, shows sport and offers a good sociable pint, then The Oxford Arms is the place to be should you be a Camden local or simply passing by. In all my time in London, I seem to have frequented this pub the most for some reason whenever I'm up in Camden. Friends have often put on productions here or comedy nights. The theatre is tucked neatly away upstairs, out of the way of the usually busy bar area. The bar itself is usually packed during the weekend. It may be hard to find a seat. Smokers will be happy to know there is an outdoor area at the back, a little mini beer garden of sorts, which is really nice to sit in on a hot London summer's day. I've also been dragged here to watch the football too. They play most premier league games as well as the odd Celtic football match too, Scottish football fans will be happy to know. I do like this pub a lot but the bar area slightly lacks in character. The staff are always slightly robotic too, perhaps because it's always so busy there, there's not enough time for a chat with the staff. If you're after a quiet chat with friends, then this may not be the best place to be, but it's definitely a decent Camden town pit stop on any evening out in North London.

went here for a sit down and a pint after walking the length and breath of camden town, good pint they had Heineken Shocker, but it was great! they bartender was Irish and very welcoming and chatting away toall members of the public. Its a very open lay out bar, they do food, but after all the free bees walking around camden town i was stuffed! A cool place and on the main street in camden too!

The Oxford Arms is a great place to watch the footy as it has at least four screens and there's a great atmosphere when there' a local London derby on. They have a small beer garden out back which is adequate enough for smokers but there are plenty nicer beer gardens in the area to sit back and relax in. Upstairs they have the Etcetera Theatre where they often have plays and comedy nights which can be pretty good. The food on offer is your usual pub grub but the quality is nothing to shout about. They have a pretty good selection of beers but in my experience you'll be waiting a while before you get served your beer. This is definitely my first choice pub in Camden as it doesn't have a great deal of character in comparison to other Camden pubs but it does the job if you're a sports enthusiast.

Flew in on a Sunday and arrived at my hotel around noon. Immediately went to the concierge to see…read moreif he could secure me a spot since I had zero luck trying to get a reservation on line for two weeks prior. Remarkable, he scored and I literally walked around the corner and saw the long line to get into the pub first. I was seated immediately, however, and proceeded to enjoy a traditional Sunday Roast. Room was very pleasant (there are so many I got lost returning to my table from a bio brake. Roast was very good ( but no Lawry's) and the sides excellent. Could not decide if my favorite was the roast potatoes (crispy outside soft inside) or the glazed carrots. Yorkshire pudding was good but again, I am to used to the Lawry's and this is a different style. Peas were, well, peas, but very fresh. The sticky toffee cake was excellent and the Guinness fresh, creamy and a proper pour. Good thing because the selection of winners by the glass and half bottles of wine were both a little thin. Overall wine list was good but I was alone and not up for drinking a full bottle by myself. Overall, very enjoyable and to judge by the crowd and difficulty in getting a reservation, one of the more popular in town.

The history alone makes it worth visiting, and the location is perfect if you're exploring the area. It feels very classic London in the best way. We stopped in for a pint and honestly... the whole after-work beer culture over there is something I really need to bring back with me to the States. The beer was great, the atmosphere was lively without feeling overwhelming, and it just felt like one of those places where people naturally gather and stay awhile. Definitely worth stopping into if you're in the area.

Two story space - the ground floor feature the bar and handles walk in lunch; the upstairs is a dining room for those with reservations. Fun fact, as part of the history, the pub used to be the host of bare knuckle fights and had regulars like Charles Dickens. Wildfarmed sourdough - served with whipped salted butter and Guinness butter. Well toasted bread and the butters with salt were well made. Fuller's London Pride marinated steak and ale pie - served with seasonal veggies and red wine gravy, as well as either mash potatoes or triple cooked chips. If there is one dish London does really well, it's their pies. It was beautifully made and loaded with steak. The red wine gravy was decadent and added a perfect amount of moisture to the pie. Triple cooked chips were perfectly crispy but fluffy on the inside. Corn fed chicken breast - served with garlic and sage butter, mash potato, cavolo nero, and crispy onions. Only took a bite of this as it was my partner's dish but the bite of chicken I had was very juicy and well seasoned.
