The Crescent

For once i have to say that it is a breath of fresh air to have this chain-pub in this location, opposite the music venue KOKO, the Crescent offers its drinkers the chance to get in a few well-priced drinks, and some rather rank bottles of wine before hitting the harder prices over the road. The crescent, as such remains popular, the service time, predictably slow and the layout of the place actually quite inviting and comfortable despite being busy. A raised platform sits at the far back of the pub with booths and you would do well to commandeer one of these although the crescent is one of those pubs where you drink, then move on, so a booth can quickly come available. The crowd is more “trendy” when compared with the rest of Camden and more more likened to Euston revellers than goths or punks traditionally associated with the area.

Overall a nice place to have a quick drink but like all other chain pubs it wouldn’t be a place you’d be glad to spend all night - although it does have a little of its own charm its not enough to hold me or a whole crowd in one place all night- 6/10
