The Black Heart Pub
The black heart rests just behind the first parade of shops on Camden high street after coming out the station and offers a dark but mature retreat for those who have a passion for rock music. The bar is rather dominating and takes up a good portion of the room with [...]

Oddfellow Bar
With bouncers on the door and the rain really coming down outside we dash into Oddfellows leaving the miserable northern weather behind us. Heading up a flight of steps we find ourselves in a hallway much like an old fashioned house with a stairwell up one side. The room beyond has a bar to [...]

The Terrace Bar
Sometimes the back of the boat is the best place to sit and sunbathe; the churning waters and foam spray of the trail of a ship as large as Ventura in the deep blue waters of the Atlantic pave off into the distance and the sight is spectacular. Having a bar then that [...]
