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…

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.

Beers are fine. Good on the other hand… £9 for nachos that consist of mayo ketchup and about 10 Doritos. Shameful.

I have visited the pub today with a friend and my little puppy, Greta, and I must say I am very very very pleased with the way the staff had treated us. They gave her lots of attention and made us feel really welcome, all of them, but especially one of the girls who is also a dog owner and offer some water for the dog. I do highly recommend you this pub!

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!

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

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,

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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!

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!

**Not to be confused with The Camden Head in Camden Passage near Angel**
I can’t believe that a Unilocaler 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.

So richtig schön gemütlich, rustikales Holzinterieur, kombiniert mit Lederbänken und Stühlen.
Freies WLAN (einfach nach dem Schlüssel fragen), guter Cidre (Tip — probiert den kopparberg pear cidre) und Fußball live, was besonders praktisch ist wenn man keinen sehen möchte, denn dann sind die Lederbänke unter den Bildschirmen frei ;).
Ich habe hier einen halben Tag verbracht und mich dabei absolut wohl gefühlt.
Personal sowie Inhaber sind super sympatisch und eine zu früh abgeräumte Flasche wurde umgehend durch eine neue ersetzt.
Ergo — wenn ihr in der Gegend seid reinschauen
