Great spot to stop for some food or a drink while in Camden. It's air conditioned also in case it is a hot day (it was super hot the day we visited). I love the little triangle shaped building in the middle of two streets. It is not only cute but great for people watching as the windows aim straight out at the main streets and tube station (metro or underground train for those who haven't picked up the local lingo quite yet). The bartender was just so helpful and sweet she added so much to the experience. They have many drafts available and I got my beer in a pint glass with some cute little colorful skull outlines painted on the outside. Fun. I didn't quite get the story on why the name is what it is but maybe next time. I ordered the sliders as I wasn't super hungry. They came with cheese so be careful if you don't want cheese on your slider. It wasn't mentioned in the menu ingredients and I had to send it back. They didn't mind and were kind about asking the chef to make it without cheese. My fiend had the fish and chips and it was "spot on". I'd go back for sure it was comfortable (cozy), friendly with great food and beer options.

I happened to be wandering around at Saturday lunchtime looking for places that were: a) nice b) had decent bitter on c) were no more than 1 minute walk from Camden tube d) let dogs in! This place fits the bill on all counts. It's a bit of a surprise since it used to be a shithole and therefore no one goes here, but it's actually been done up really well. Lots of wood, spotless, and some good drinking to be had, even with your lurcher in tow

Comfy chairs abound, feels sterile, expensive drinks but if you want a 'civilized' pub in Camden this is one you would consider. Not my cup of tea

The Camden Eye is a good London pub-I like it as a place to go during the day or for an early evening drink, I've never experienced it's night time atmosphere but It has a warm, community feel to the pub and the decor is alot better than it used to be. It's not the most amazing pub you'll ever go in but it's in a perfect spot to meet friends as it's right outside Camden Tube Station so you really can't miss it.

The service is not good and they don't accept anyone below 18 years old after 7 pm. The food is ok, not great and a bit pricey.

Their mojitos are made with brown sugar (really good) and are cheap ! I haven't tries the Caipirina but I've been told that this is their specialty so must be really good as their mojitos are ...

I'm not sure how close this bar is to Brazilian nightlife, but to me this bar feels typically Brazilian in cadence. I just love the atmosphere, the enthusiasm, the music, you feel transported to another place and I just don't understand how very few people, even those living in Camden, don't know about this bar! I was introduced by a lovely Yelp friend and try and get back whenever I'm in Camden as I really love this place. To me this is one of Camden's real hidden gems. So why do I love it? Let me count the ways: Live music: I'm not sure if there is someone on every night, but I'm always shocked by them hosting some fantastic, extremely talented musicians. Intimate setting: As a tiny little venue you huddle around small tables, it feels cozy, personable and warm. Art work: Walls, ceilings and tables are plastered with art, pictures, paintings collages drape all surfaces. It's like some hipster arty underground cavern... like so many bars in Shoreditch are trying to achieve, but this place isn't trying, it has charm and personality without having to try. Caipirinhas and mojitos: Using traditional Brazilian ingredients the cocktails here are just superb... and after a few you can't help but sink back into your seat and enjoy the ambiance. I'd also recommend the Cuba Libra, I'm usually not a fan, but would make an exception here. As a cocktail bar you need to expect to pay cocktail prices, but the live music, amazing atmosphere and art are free.

I have a couple of friends living in Kentish Town who happily researched and booked this charming…read morelittle basement bar which is a must-visit in the area. Apparently the owners want it to feel like someone's living room and it definitely has a relaxed and locals-come-here vibe, although our seating area was in what was once a VIctorian police cell, which was probably less cosy back in the day. The interesting concept here is to serve small bites of food tailored to each house cocktail which a beautifully presented and explained, as are the cocktails themselves. We sampled almost all of the house cocktail menu and generally everyone was very impressed. I think several people really liked the park bench, with its strong apple flavour, although I personally found it a bit one-note. In fact, I wouldn't say any of the cocktails here got it quite right for my palate, some of the balancing of flavours didn't quite work for me and none of them particularly blew me away. They were pretty good, but there weren't any I found incredibly delicious and "incredibly delicious" is really what I am looking for in a cocktail. I had the Get Me a Bourbon, I'm Hungry and Lost in Alaska. The first was a short drink which wasn't massively memorable, contra my favourite ever bourbon cocktail, the fantastic bourborini once on the specials at Pitt Cue Co. Lost in Alaska I thought was nice although others said they thought it tasted medicinal! Service was great - helpful, patient and attentive. It's expensive, especially now I live in Manchester and can get better cocktails at the Fitzgerald for £4 less, but I would still recommend Knowhere Special, especially if you're nearby having dinner. They have such an inventive and passionate approach, it's very impressive already and I'm sure will just get better with time.

This is definitely a place to put on your amazing cocktail bar list! A stone's throw away from the…read moretube, you walk down into a cozy space that they don't overfill. We were lucky to be able to occupy the couple of free seats at the bar but there are also little "dens" to sit in the natural arches of this old basement. The playlist they were playing was awesome, the bartenders were so friendly and engaging, and they are soooo into making fabulous cocktails. The amount of care that goes into every drink is stunning. The house cocktails come with a "pairing". My spiced rum drink with a million little touches I can't remember came with orange chocolate and homemade toffee apples (they literally caramelized the sugar in front of me at the bar). Low key, neighborhoody, a cocktail bar with character but without the scene. A must go if you are in the hood.

Definitely more of a bar than a pub, there are a handful of wooden tables and chairs downstairs, with a large sofa corner on a landing halfway up the stairs, and a few leather sofas and stools around some low tables on a raised section at the top, overlooking the downstairs. In warm weather they open the front windows and put a couple of tables out on the pavement. As the other reviews point out, there are some tasty beers on tap here, including Kirin, Red Stripe, and Erdinger. They'll often have something a bit more unusual too: I remember banana beer for a while. No ales on tap, unfortunately. Mixed drinks are easily had, and they have a happy hour between 5 and 7pm most days. Food is good, although I rarely had more than bar snacks. Downstairs are several tables and a dining area, which I think only gets service in the evenings. It's very popular in the neighbourhood, and will fill up with a young, good-looking crowd quickly every weekend night. Sunny weekend afternoon. In 2005, The Gallery came in at second place in the best local bar category for the LBC/Independent Living London Awards. I'm not sure if it's continued to place since, or if those awards are still even held, but they made a big deal of it at the time. The staff there are very friendly, and as regulars we got to be quite chatty with them.
