The Alexandra
An old time stare-at-the-folk-who-just-stolled-in pub. Horrible indeed. The toilets were like an outhouse indoors and the crowd literally discussed amongst themselves how horrible it was having non-locals in there premises. Ok i may have been tipsy but that was no excuse. the drink was quite well priced as i recall and they do tend [...]

The Lockside Lounge
A charming Bar with accompanying restaurant located next to Camden Lock. It has a very relaxed and Gothic feel about the place and is set on almost three floors. The food is amazing there and there is always seating and candlelight. The drinks are too expensive though and I had to resort to [...]

The Snooker Lounge
Its supposedly members only but I’ve been in many times before and its not that strict. The owners are a group of smokers in the corner of a large, dark snooker room at the top of the stairs behind the tally-ho discount and its dimly lit except by the large snooker lights above [...]

It hasn’t changed all these years, you have a Bar/booth area as you enter from the front and they serve wine and shots as good deals and the service is fast. Then you can descend the stairs into a small pit [...]
