Such an awesome place and had the pleasure to get to know the owner and she was lovely. Good pricing on drinks and a good selection as well especially lot of ciders which the wife really appreciated. Food was reasonably priced and very good as well. Place is clean and cozy. They have comedy every night but we didn't have the chance to witness it. read more

Although I saw perhaps the most rubbish comedian here during the Camden Fringe, I actually really like the pub itself! Retains the laid back, casual Camden vibe that we all know and love. It's not polished, it's not preened, it's not pretentious. Just some seats, a bar and some great people having a great time. I'm pretty sure this place gets quite involved with the fringe and it's a pretty good venue to watch some entertainment in...just as long as you get someone good! I've popped in here in the early evening to get some work done before meeting friends and they have free wifi and really friendly staff - winner! read more

Cheap, good, and fun food! Smoke 'n' buns was great fun with the smoke contained in the glass cover. I got the vegan burger and my friend got the beef burger. Both were tasty. We also both got the fried guacamole which was a unique, fun item to try and pretty tasty. Large portion size - great price for what you get, but go hungry as they don't provide containers to take home leftovers. Although it was hard to find a seat and the food took a while to come out, the atmosphere was really great. Quaint pub feel with cute table decorations and shared seating. Got noisy pretty early on a Friday night, so keep in mind if you're going with someone hard of hearing. read more

When my friend said she was performing at the Camden Head during the Camden Fringe, I did my good friend duty and jumped straight up the Northern Line. This pub has a real Camden vibe - a bit rough and ready, with fun happy folk. It's a bit dark and dingy, and the ladies loo is essentially a cupboard, but its very reliable for a good time. Plenty of places to sit outside and an air conditioned space upstairs for shows makes it perfect for summer. Can't wait to come back in winter. read more

I go to Camden a lot, I've tried going to the others, but I ALWAYS end up at the Camden Head. I just love this bar. It is the perfect place any night of the week. Great friendly bartenders, excellent beer/cider selection, cheap drinks, great layout with plenty of seating/dancing room and generally some kick-ass music playing. Sunday nights, weeknights and weekends (everyday, duh) all bring something different at the Camden Head, but I guarantee you'll have a great time and may walk away with an interesting story or two. Always a mixed crowd, sometimes packed, sometimes quiet, definitely FUN! read more

Of all the Camden pubs, this is my back-up should anything not go as planned. A fairly large sized pub located on the opposite end of Camden High street (back towards Mornington Crescent, NOT by the Stables, thankfully), Camden Head tends to be less crowded than those by the Locke even on Saturday and Friday nights. Cooler than a regular pub, it has loads of couches, a pool table and knick-knacks that set it apart yet still retains the laid-back atmosphere of just beinga friendly bar. The bar staff is fairly efficient and I've always found a plae to sit with friends within 5 minutes of walking in. There's even been filming taking place in there once, though we don't know why, only that there was filming and we were in the background. Keep your eyes peeled, I may be the next big thing. Even bigger plus: last time in, we found £20 on the floor. Win for us! read more

Great local pub in Camden. It's perfect for a drink or two during the week. The only problem with this place is that it get really crowded on weekend nights. Before I got to London, this is what I imagined local pubs would be like, read more

I've been here a few times now and it's a great pub. Drinks aren't too pricey at all and the musics great. Big variety of sounds and a lot of things you don't often hear in a pub which is always great. It's got a really good atmosphere - everyone seems to be in good spirits and enjoying themselves. Pretty busy on weekend nights but that's just the sign of a good pub! read more

Awesome place for a pint during the day! Good music at night! It has some tables outside for the sunny days! read more

The Camden Head - Good vibe... And Portuguese beer and wine - Comedy Clubs Near Me - London, XGL

**Not to be confused with The Camden Head in Camden Passage near Angel** I can't believe that a Yelper hasn't already found this place....stumbled onto this place as I was walking Camden High Street looking for a cool place to grab a pint on a Wednesday eve. This place has a cool vibe--it is a good combo of pub meets bar. It has the nostalgic feel of an English pub, but has cool red lighting fixtures, a pool table, and a jukebox that had rockin' good tunes (always a a good sign wihen I am Shazam-ing in a pub). Looked over at a plate of food while ordering my beer--chips looked a bit lame--American style little skinny fries, so I wouldn't go for the "gastropub" features, but a great place to pop in for a pint. read more

Quite a cool little place on the main drag of Camden High Street. I was only drinking here because the Crown and Goose was closed whilst preparing for New Years Eve. However, we were pleasantly surprised to see Adams seasonal 'Yuletide' ale on tap, which is a lovely dark malty brew. The seating is comfy enough and the service was good. read more

Having only been once I can't really give too many details about what it's like day to day, but so far yesterday evening goes it was a very nice little boozer to kick back in and watch as Chelsea drained the flamboyancy out of Barcelona. The staff were very polite if arguably a tad disorganised but the atmosphere in the place was very good and it had football on (which is a rare and valuable commodity in camden). It's also ideally located for pre-drinks/meeting up before heading to KOKO. read more

Great value drinks. Really nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. Simple but value food menu. Just a nice place.

Go here a bit when visiting Camden for a quick coffee and surf. Free Wifi which is good if you need a place to log-on. Sunday roasts are quite good, and always plenty of room to sit and hang with large groups of friends. Pleasantness of staff can be a bit hit or miss, though. Seems to be popular with older local people too, which is comforting. No frills slighty-trendified pub. read more

The head. What a great place. Definately the spot to be if you are in Camden. A great nightlife. Live music, bands, DJ on certain nights. The drinks are cheap, not way too overpriced. 2-3 Quid a pint! The vibe here is awesome.. and if you have been to Camden or live in Camden, you will know that it is the birthplace of Punk. You get alot of mixed crowds in here, and definately alot of travelers/backpackers. Throughout all the times i've been here, I always see new people of different backgrounds. It's a great place to socialize with other Europeans. The place isn't hard to find at all. It's located in between Mornington Crescent and Camden Town. It's on the corner and is visible from the High street. Definately recremmend you stop by after a day's shopping from the market! read more

Great place to hang with locals. Great service, great beer selection and decent fish and chips. Will definitely come back. I loved that this place was not a tourist venue, it was not London expensive, and locals were down to earth and easy to party with. read more

Walking into this pub you automatically notice how popular it is with people.. It was fairly packed for a Wednesday night.. But seemed to have adequate room to walking around without squeezing through people... Though that might be different on a Friday or Saturday night.. It's a clean and vibrant atmosphere and is only a 3-4 minute walk to the tube... Plenty of seating for those not want to stand but may take a while to get a table on a busy night... Oh and the toilets were spotless, well the mens anyway.. :) I have to say that i didn't spend much time in the pub as i was in the comedy section up stairs... They held an event called Natural Born Storyteller which I highly recommend for anyone that has or hasn't been before... It's on ever third Wednesday of the month for those who are interested... Would i go again? Planning to next month... read more

Where my iPhone got stolen a few weeks ago. Had some fun with my friends though. Great music. read more

Great local pub with very friendly service. We ate everything from fish and chips pasta and it was all good. They had every kind of beer you can imagine. And some great TVs for watching football matches. We brought the whole family for an early dinner and they were very kind to the kids as well. read more

Great local pub. As a tourist, we were welcomed and had great service! Can't wait to go back to Camden town!

Nice little bar if you can find a seat. Music is good usually but it's better when there's a DJ. read more

First time I went as they were hosting a comedy night & it was a really good night, drinks were reasonably priced, food was amazing and the venue is definitely somewhere I would go again, the venue is too hot but great otherwise, hoping to go back soon!! read more

Descent beer selection for a touristy place. I wasn't impressed with the "Smoking Burgers". All they really are is a burger served with a glass dome on top with smoke under the dome. The burger itself is meh at best. If you want a much better burger in a pub, go to Brewdog which is very short walk. read more

Thought this was very overpriced, despite a decent beer selection. Pretty busy at the weekends with nowhere to sit or stand, really. Nothing much to encourage repeat visits. read more

It is rough and ready! I went on a quiet night for comedy. Ales were ok, nothing special.

The Camden Head is worth a visit, the food is great, best chips i have had in a long while, and the comedy routines was brilliant , I would highly recommend you pop in. read more

Very Good Taxi service in Camden in my opinion

This is the worst bar experience I've ever had in London. Went out for my good friend's celebratory night and not only was the service rude towards her, they ended up overcharging myself for two drinks and claiming that I ordered four (when my mate already paid for the two before). Discussing this with the bar staff and their "manager" was fruitless. They refused to check the register for the payments or do anything to rectify the situation. Highly disappointing, with severe lack of understanding or courtesy towards the customers. Will warn anyone I know against going there ever again. read more

Without even realizing it, the way-cool girl DJ made my first ex-pat Thanksgiving a legendary happening. My (also American) friend and I were bummed to not be home for the holiday, and actually ended up here after our regular (Simmons, down the street) was closed. The beer was reasonably priced, the staff were all smiles, and we unapologetically cleared the dance floor when Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" started playing, in the midst of dad-rock dance floor classics from the Stones, Isley Brothers, Chuck Berry, etc. Basically, she played all the songs you want to hear at a wedding. So fabulous. We will be back. Thanks, Camden Head! You were our Thanksgiving miracle. read more

my kind of pub. Not posh, just straightforward, clean with a new food thing going on. I'm a veggie and the options are decent and non-frozen, when I ate there on a Friday afternoon. read more

Really like this pub. Been to a couple of good gigs upstairs here, from what i've seen they always have good DJ's on at the weekend too. The staff were friendly and the selection of drinks was decent. read more

Worst experience in Camden, and probably the whole London, ever. Second time there and the bad experience during the first visit turned into a nightmare during the second. Ended up being overcharged for drinks that my mate already paid for.The bar staff and manager were reluctant to admit they were in the wrong, they refused to check the register for payments and rectify the situation in any way. Highly disappointing and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more
