Aces And Eights in Camden

Been coming to aces for years, came on a Monday with friends to have drinks and take advantage of the Monday pizza deal. Really loved the pizza but the female member of staff working behind the bar that night was really rude and off putting. When ordering drinks she sighed heavily and said sure as if I had asked for something completely mad, severely under poured a cocktail but her demeanour made my anxious about asking her to fix it. All other staff were nice and friendly, just a really weird vibe from this member of staff.

Useless. Booked table for six. They didn’t honour. Got there and nowhere for us. Staff members unbothered. Manageress didn’t even apologise. Left and went home to order in. This was our favourite local bar/pizzeria. We felt disappointed and will not use again. Sort yourselves out.

Excellent pizza, friendly bar staff, good choice of music and shockingly cheap for London. I paid £4.20 for a pint of Somersby! I'll be going to quite a few shows at the Dome across the way over the next few months, and I'll definitely be stopping by Aces and Eights first to get dinner.

Went to a gig round the corner .... visited before and after .... drinks tasted amazing .. Charlie the barman deserves recognition and a raise

It can get quite busy, especially on weekends and if there's a festival on in the area, but otherwise they do great cocktails and a good range of other drinks. Also the pizzas are made quickly to order and are really delicious. Good place to go before a gig in the area.

Jason & Ky made my day today! Had a pretty awful day and I turned up in this place. Smells amazing, pizza smell.. turned me on instantly. Music is brilliant, decor is great, toilets were clean. Just a nice place to have a casual drink after an awful date in London and chat to the bartenders

I’m a bit sceptical of the other reviews on here that say they were turned away and the staff were rude? The staff were really pleasant and friendly when we visited, the pizza was hot, fresh and crispy, venue has lots of character and played rock music in the background. The atmosphere was great and they couldn’t have been more polite. Lots of work has been done to make the venue COVID secure. We’ll definitely visit again! The pizza is a decent effort - it’s not the best in the world, but it’s worth a visit for the atmosphere alone so give it a try :)

Great vibe with friendly staff and amazing value for money home-made pizzas. Cool music too! Highly recommended. Charles is always ace!

Turned away at the door as my dress sense didn’t fit in with what the bar man thought was cool enough. When he looked Like an extra from a bad Metallica music video. Avoid.

Visited the bar yesterday Sunday 21/0719 order a pint of shipyard ale £4.20 the bar girl served me, gave her £5, she gave me my pint and did not give me my change pretending like she had forgotten, the bar was not busy at the time, when I told her that she did not give me my change her reply was " You should have asked" why should I ask for my change when she should have given my change to me. I decided to drink another pint but want to use by card instead the bar girl bluntly refuse to serve me, what kind a desperate reap off service. Management needs to look into it will never go there again. Ace of Eight Turfnel Park.

Ordered a half Heineken that was completely flat. Asked politely if I could have a different lager only for the bar man to tell me it had been served to me on the wrong glass (like it was my fault) then continued to pour my half lager into a pint glass! Handed it back to me and said ‘ come back if it’s Still a problem’. I was in complete shock to be honest. Never experienced anything like it. So arragont and plain wrong. Just left and went across the road the Boston Arms where they know how to run a bar!

My wife and I popped in here before going to the O2 in Kentish Town. Nothing fancy because assistant it's a bit of a rock n roll bar where local bands play, and comedians etc. So it's not plush by any means, but that's OK. The pizza is freshly made though and is absolutely delicious. My wife had the vegan pizza and it looked and tasted amazing

Most recent visit, I asked for two drinks at the bar to be rudely told “we don’t serve people in sportswear so.” No apology or explanation just a shrug of the shoulders. For those curious, it was the day after we had some snow in London and I had dared to wear dark navy tracksuit bottoms. The irony of being told this by the dismissive bar woman who had an oversized hoodie on with the hood up at the time wasn’t lost on me. I think dress codes in general are bad and judgemental but I did not expect to come across it in a bar that prides itself of being alternative and being a space for open-minded, liberal performances/comedy, on a very quiet Wednesday night. Made to feel unwelcome and embarrassed.

2 stars and a poor review as the food was good but the barwoman was so rude that maybe she has to consider changing her occupation.i strongly believe that the waiting staff of a famous London pub should have possitive energy and to respect the guests that spending time and money so they can have after a day at work a pleasant evening with friends with good music and even better customer service.Behaviour like your barwoman's should be reported and addressed for the good of your bussiness.

its very rock and roll here,a bit like the good places used to be in camden,great pizza and decently priced drinks.keep up the good work

Until about a yearly ago this was a late night dive bar with good music and good decor. They decided to make it less 'dive'-like - cleaner, tidier, take much of the artwork away, and guess what? Customers didn't flood in to a place that had binned its personality. Tonight I tried to go in for a pint. One, on the way home, by myself. About 23.15 - fancied sitting at the bar with a drink, watching and thinking, like you do sometimes. Bouncer goes "Three pounds." "What for?" "Come in here." "Just want a pint at the bar mate." "Pay three pounds then." Do you know what, Aces and Eights, I'll pass. I'll miss you when you're flats, but tonight, I'll pass.

Not a place for tourists or meet friends, but a place to watch: up and coming bands and comedians. Furniture is basic, bear and a little uncomfortable. Walls and decor are dark. Toilets are small, smelly and need updating. Performance area is in the basement, where there is little to no ventilation. Small and sweaty. The young people, who perform there and who go to watch their favourite bands or bands with their friends in, seam to like the place. The drinks are relatively inexpensive

Llegamos al bar de forma especificada, de un evento en el Boston Music Rooms y nos complació tener un buen Camden Pale bien servido y agradablemente. Tye era un par de otras 'cervezas artesanales' de barril. El pub no se ve mucho pero tiene mucho espacio y mesas bien espaciadas. Parecía un poco desaliñado, pero tenía un buen ambiente.No teníamos expectativas sobre la pizza, por lo que fue una sorpresa muy agradable conseguir una pizza realmente brillante. Esta opinión puede ser sobre haber excedido las expectativas, pero lo dudo; la pizza era delgada, crujiente y tenía coberturas agradables y agradables (teníamos los Eights y el Quattro Stagione); ellos no estaban sobrecargadosFinalmente, el tipo que cocinó y sirvió fue, para nosotros, perfectamente encantador. A él claramente le gustaba su trabajo y se veía genuinamente complacido cuando elogiamos su cocina.¡La pizza también era un buen precio!

El personal en el bar era amable y acogedor. Pagas por separado por la pizza. El hombre fue grosero e inútil.

A pesar de la revolución que ha transformado la comida en Londres, llegar decente aún más difícil que la pizza es lo que debería ser. Brewdog, en Shepherds Bush, pueden hacer buena cerveza, pero sus pizzas están sobrecargados con queso y especias. Pero la buena noticia es que la pizza sirve en ases y Ochos es excelente. Menú variado, precios razonables, de excelente calidad, si te quedas en la zona esta es una buena opción. No cubiertos aunque, ten cuidado.

Este bar debe ser un lugar fantástico pero el DJ (viernes noche) música ordinario toda la noche (soft rock americano), lanzó en unas pocas canciones buenas y tomar los pedidos, pero en general es pobre. Pensé que se suponía que iba a ser un bar de rock!

I really liked the Aces and Eights , with it's big long wooden benches and tables. I had a pizza , which are made express when requested and it was extremely good and un expensive. Good selection of beers and ales. Will def go back!

Really good atmosphere some good music too....if you're into rock/metal. The pizza was really nice. They have a wide choice to go off and cater for vegans.

Pizza buena y razonable selección de bebidas, pero la mayoría de los empleados son groseros y habilidades sociales básicas la falta. La música es ruidosa y a veces tontamente el bar se está convirtiendo en un cliché de sí mismo llena de estereotipos de la culata. Un lugar para visitar si están en su propio y no se me ocurre ningún lugar mejor para ir.

Best place in the world....Used to be.Not sure what it was on this cold night upon January but something's changed,Let me tell you a story-After spending nights on nights in my second home.. it had been a while since I saw them all "Ohana" I rocked up as usual at about 6pm on a Friday night.It was busy as to be expected. The music was great but the vibe however, Something wasn't right.One of the bar staff shaggy looking bearded fella(not the same.. but different)I thought yeh he looks like a bar kinda guy! as I ordered another drink, bearing in mind it's only about 8pm cocktails where delivered in wine glasses!!!!and pints in plastic.. as the hour went on it spaced out a bit due to the venue event downstairs.. As a friendly tax paying citizen I tried to make conversation with the bar staff and they just didn't have the passion it'd seem like something was taken from them..lovely people but something on this cold night in January, Just won't be the same anymore.A toast.. To our Shepard our Father..The Ace Of Eights.

Es un lugar muy acogedor donde puedes comer muy buenas pizzas, además de otros platos, con una buena cerveza. Excelente música, dj's, actuaciones... Paredes decoradas con carteles de conciertos de grupos legendarios. Lo atiende un personal muy amable y servicial. Un sitio perfecto para pasar un buen rato y con unos precios discretos para lo que es Londres. Muy recomendable.

Bien por dónde empiezo! ! La víspera de este lugar debe ser agradecidos de la gente hoy! A pesar de fudge todo cerca. . . El lugar no estaba lleno hoy por los estándares de la víspera. Aquí mi lista de quejas - sucio -...

As my new local Aces and Eights did not disappoint. I have sampled a selection of their cocktails which, in my opinion, are reasonably priced (£7-£8.00) strong and pretty. Their happy hour offers buy one get one free offers on the same cocktail which is also pretty handy and this is from 6-8 Sunday - Friday. They offer a selection of wine and beer including Guinness which pleased my boyfriend but their speciality seems to be in whisky and bourbon for which there is an extensive list. The seating itself looks a little run down, and some of the booth cushions are ripped but given the decoration of the rest of the place this is in keeping with the Rock vibe. Although not remotely Rock and roll myself I didn't feel out of place. They have a selection of evening entertainment held downstairs which means that if you aren't into comedy or dj's you can stay up top. They also offer amazing looking Pizza which I wish I could try, however with a gluten intolerance this is difficult. From what I have seen coming out of the oven, I'm missing a treat.

As a pizza loving metalhead this is by far my favourite pizza place in London.Used to take all my Tinder dates here before I moved. But I'm still taking detours just for the pizza and the music.

The place is amazing and so was the music, so retro banging my head to the songs of The Cure, Depeche, REM, Bon Jovi.... it was a night to remember The staff were super nice and knew how to make mean cocktails plus there is this extraordinary pizza maker, oh he is good!!!It seemed like every day music might be different. Very intrigued by the "Cheeseburger cabaret" - what can that be? Entail? In any case, I bet it is great

Pint ok, muitas opções de bebida e a pizza (vendida num espaço grudado ao pub, que dá pra acessar por dentro) deliciosa! O lugar tá meio mal cuidado, umas poltronas rasgadas, mas a música é boa e o preço, ok. Íamos porque ficava do lado de onde estávamos hospedados. Mas se fosse longe, não valeria o deslocamento.

Had a great night here during the Camden Fringe. The cocktails were delicious (try the Lynchburg Lemonade) and the pizza was fresh and tasty. The bar has a downstairs venue for comedy and the Improv Deathmatch had a great atmosphere. Also great music. I'll be coming again.

Even I live localy I am a rare guest here. Came on friday night for a drink, amazing party going here. Bartenders are really nice and professional. You can have a snack pizza which is very tasteful (late night). Public is very friendly and cheerfull. Prices do not bite if compared to London prices.

We visited here for some comedy preview for the fringe. Was quite quiet on arrival, we decided to go for a pizza here as well, which was incredible. One of the nicest pizzas I've ever had. Fresh and very good service. We stuck here for a few hours then we went down in the basement bar for the comedy. Cosy, intimate surroundings. Weren't that many people there but we had a great evening.Great prices, beer, cocktails and pizza. Would definitely visit again and recommend to anyone.

The place itself is nothing to write home about, in fact it's a bit decrepit (maybe that's the idea?) but the pizza more than makes up for that. I haven't had a tastier pizza in ages. I just wish they did delivery. Good pints of Birra Moretti too!

Buen lugar, buena música, excelente ambiente, buenos tragos, mas bien lugar pequeño, donde se puede comer mas temprano y despues bailar y tomar unso tragos

My girlfriend and I have been here a couple of times and always have a laugh. Some good tracks on the stereo and great pizza too!

You need to come here for pizza. The prices are amazing, theirs a fantastic selection to choose from. They're happy to change things on the pizza for you. You don't have to wait too long and the place is pretty cool!

Great place to go for pizza & beer!Much better than the usual run of the mill chain restaurants, as well as being a lot cheaper!We went to see a band in the rather tiny basement, which was an added bonus, but it's worth traveling there from central London for the food & drink.Also visit Ruby Violet's ice cream parlour, just along the road.

Opposite Tufnell Park station this is a great NY style bar to visit before going to a gig at The Dome. The drink selection is large and the pizza is amazing.

I have been here many times, but its time for a proper heads up. The pizzas are hand made with fresh ingredients and served perfect, with chilli oil for those that like some spice to proceedings. The bar serves a cool selection of craft beer, handmade cocktails, reserve bourbons and straight up pub style drinks. Service is always friendly and the place lively with a variety of jukebox or DJ in the bar, and comedy or live music in the basement. Recommended!

I too was attending Doom over London gigs! My partner and I decided to order pizzas whilst waiting for the next band we wanted to see, to come on. What a wise decision! Traditional thin based pizzas with a varied selection at approx £8 to £9.50 per 12 inch size pizza. You could add extra toppings for a little extra. Prompt delivery to table, hot and flavoursome, definitely good value.

Aces and Eights were one of three venues for Doom Over London VI this weekend. The promoters suggested that A & E was a good place to go for pizza as well as bands. I went across on Saturday and ordered a veggie pizza and had a pint of Hophead beer. When the pizza came, served by the chef, who was very friendly and welcoming, it looked good. When I tried it I was even more impressed, one of the best pizzas (if not the best) I have had, even better than the one I had a week before in California. Hophead is a beer I like so the combination was good. Needless to say I went back Sunday. There are 20 pizzas on offer, half are veggie and they can be made vegan too. There are deals on pizzas at different times of the week/

Popped in here on a Tuesday before going to the Jake Bugg gig round the corner.Nice bar and a decent couple of pints was had. Was only a few people in at tea time but the bar staff were friendly enough and I didn't feel uncomfortable being from out of town.Pizzas smelt good but didn't have one though (no time).Would visit again if in the area.

Firstly,this is not a restaurant,it is a cocktail/whisky bar that also does Pizza..to help absorb the alcohol. Was invited for a celebratory evening on the occasion of the reopening of Tuffnel Park tube station. All I can say --their cocktail list is huge and there is a good range of Scotches,Bourbons,American and Irish whiskies. Prices are very acceptable,staff are friendly. What more can I say??

This place is not something special for some reason I keep visiting. It's a rock bar that also serves some good pizza. Pizza could be 1-2 pounds cheaper but still it's good. Some negative comments on FB say this place is supposed to stay up until late but if it's not crowded they close earlier. I only go there after work so I always find a seat and pizza takes 10-15 minutes.

Aces has it all: wonderful staff, non pretentious atmosphere, and of course great pizza! There are great club and band nights downstairs in the basement, and a rocking jukebox up top. It's just the best so go there.

I hired the Aces and Eights downstairs bar for a private party last weekend and had the time of my life! Tim (Bar Manager) and his staff were really helpful on the run up to the party, answering all my questions promptly and offering help and advice when needed.The downstairs bar has a secret, speakeasy feel to it with gorgeous velvet lamps and quirky mirrors and it's own bar and toilets, so guests needn't venture up stairs unless they want to.We were given access to the room before the party and free reign to decorate as we liked so we were able to make the event really personal. On the night we had our own bar staff who were on hand to help guests and served drinks with great friendly banter. We ordered pizzas for our guests which went down a storm, easily some of the best pizza in London.So if you are looking for a place to host your next party or just drinks and food with friends then look no further than Aces of Eights, an intimate venue with a unique character, friendly staff and a relaxed party atmosphere.

This bar is special to me because it was the last place that I had drinks with the people from my first ever job. The options are great and it is the perfect stop-gap during a pub crawl. The decor is quite different to other places. A nice spot for drinks with mates.

Posticino senza infamia e senza lodi...si mangia solo pizza, che abbiamo ordinato più per fame che per altro.Letteralmente scioccati dal fatto che le birre si ordinano ma si devono prelevare personalmente al banco (pur avendole ordinate al tavolo). Inconcepibile.Pagamento in anticipo e via...Conclusione: posticino non male ma, essendo a Londra, c'è decisamente di meglio.

Having never been before, i was pleasantly surprised and how it reminded me of a rock bar back in the 90s. Where so many other similar have modernized and lost their atmosphere, this place is still going strong. I didn't get to eat there but their pizza kitchen looked and smelt amazing. The staff were all very friendly. I would happily return.

Popped in after shopping before heading home. Range of draft beers and the usual spirits etc. Not too expensive in this upcoming area of London. Booth seating which was very cosy, with other tables available. Pizza was freshly made to order and serviced piping hot. No cutlery, so if that will put you off perhaps its not for you. Didn't put us off, and what we couldn't eat we took home.Very friendly and helpful service, will call in again

We visited for a party where we called in advance to check a small dog was OK, only to be thrown out once we'd ordered drinks. Staff were rude and shrugged it off. We took our custom to somewhere that appreciated it

We stayed right down the road from here and went a couple times when we were home. This place was nice and chill. They had a good selection of beer and drinks. The food was really good, we had pizza one night which was pretty impressive. It's a great pub to just go sit eat, have a few drinks and mingle. Staff was attentive and friendly.

Visited a couple of times when visiting London recently. Good range of beers, staff were very friendly.

Lively pub, comfy booths, rock music. Try the Camden brews their quite hoppy n strong. Good atmosphere

Called in on a Thursday evening at 11.50. Website states bar is open until 1.00am but we were told by staff they usually would stay open but there wasn't enough people. A crowd of five people came in after us and were told the same thing. They recommended somewhere else but when we got there it was closed

hadnt been here for a while ,but went last night and its good to see they havent changed,i know too many rock bars that slowly sell out over the years but aces and eights is still a proper rock bar

I love the pizza here - it's amazing. It's also reduced on Mondays. I recommend the Passionara, which is probably for fave pizza ever. The pub used to look different and I prefer its old look, to be honest. Now it has lost its character. It's still worth going to for the pizza and the cocktails. I haven't tried out the comedy nights.

I used to visit every Monday night with about 8 friends and we used to order the most amazing pizza and garlic pizza bread! It's so tasty!! I highly recommend trying it if in the area! Extremely yummy! :)

I have been going to Aces for quite a while now. There are normally a few of us who turn up on a Friday night for happy hour and harass the poor bar staff for copious amounts of Strawberry Daiquiris! The staff have always been friendly even when busy. The pizza is amazing, I am not a lover of pizza normally but this is the only place I will eat it without giving it a second thought. I love the fact that even though we haven't been for a while they still remember me and what pizza I like! It is also great being able to listen some good classic rock music while eating your food too. Would definitely recommend this bar to friends.

Have spent some very pleasant mid-week evenings here and the pizzas they do are absolutely excellent and great value. Also they have a terrific downstairs club/function room which, although very small, I've attended some memorable events and parties at. However recent visits have been marred by execrably woeful "singer/songwriter" types caterwauling away on the stage which have only made us want to finish our drinks and leave as promptly as possible. Cannot imagine who wants to listen to this twaddle apart from the friends of the performers but if they must be allowed a platform, why not downstairs where they are out of earshot of those trying to enjoy a drink or pizza? The bar staff have always been friendly and efficient but the door staff must be amongst the worst I've ever encountered, obnoxious and aggressive to the point of absurdity. This is a bar that has great potential to be one of the very best in North London - especially if they would bring back the wonderful music quiz they formerly held on Tuesday night - but sadly at present is being drastically marred by their choice in mid week 'entertainment' and a door staff that are doing their best to drive the regulars away. 'VG' rating solely for the wonderful pizzas (the kitchen would appear to be run separately from the bar so would be unfair for my rating to reflect the venue's other failings) and the pleasant times had when been Steroids R Us and the local Bob Dylans have had a night off.

Went to see a friends band play in the basement of this venue, it was only 9pm and the door staff were already out, I had a large bag with my laptop etc and I knew this would hold up the queue. I kindly mentioned to them that my bag is quite large a few times because I could see the queue getting larger. It's was full of clothes, my laptop, chargers etc, the curt door woman then told me she didn't care and that she wasn't touching it. I was then made to empty it outside the venue by the dirty street, and then referred to my clothes as 'those things', it was all quite uncalled for hostility. Finally I got my ID out to go in and they said 'we didn't ask for that' and then pushed me in without even checking. Once inside I went to get some whisky that I saw on the menu from the bar, and the barman firstly had never heard of it, and then after going to get it, told me that they didn't stock it?! Total confusion. The rest of the evening was okay, just a normal bar with loud music that you couldn't really talk over, nothing special, and worsened by the rude doormen who ruined my evening.

Went here for the first time since 2012 with a friend that was back visiting (thought we'd meet in out old stomping ground), and got to say it just wasn't as good! Came here specifically for a pizza as we remembered them being great. Were left a little disappointed. It wasn't rubbish. But just not amazing :(Still. Cool bar though, definitely worth visiting for a few beers

This is my local and one of my favourite bars in North London. It's really unlike any other bar in the area - completely eclectic music styles. You do feel like you've walked into a saloon bar - dark inside, booths, rock n roll music on occasion, juke box in the corner.It's particularly useful if you work shifts which finish late - as it's open until much later than most other bars and serves food when the restaurants have closed.The pizzas are medium sized and very tasty, cooked by an Italian chef who hangs out in the back of the bar with his pizza oven. There's a great deal on Monday where you get two pizzas for £12, so that's particularly good value. There's one brand of beer which is always less than £4 for a pint, which is also decent for the area. I wasn't very impressed with the cocktails if I'm honest - when I've had Long Island iced teas in there they've not been very strong, not mixed and mostly ice. So I'd avoid those and stick to beer and wine.It's a really varied crowd, non pretentious vibe and equally good for getting together a group of friends or just going for a catch up.

Regular customer for over a year! Really RUDE bar lady (tattoos and acting manager this evening as we were told TIm was unavailable) her attitude was appalling shocked and disappointed as always polite customer! I was told when asked to be served in a calm and polite manner after waiting 20 minutes "No one else is being rude just you I am working on the bar alone you NEED to be patient. I was actually going to serve you next but now hmmmmm" DISGUSTED at the aggressive nature this was said :( I have tweeted and emailed I would appreciate a response as love the bar!!

This is one of my most favourite places in London. Rock music on the dude box, dark and atmospheric and the best pizzas at really reasonable prices. If you're heading there specifically for pizza it's best to go early on as it can get very busy later, especially at weekends when they have dh's and bands playing.

So we arrived as instructed to a fairly empty Aces & Eights, but then again it was only 6pm. We were here for pre-gig food and drinks. The place is dark and dingy in a purposeful way, with gig poster wall paper and neon lights. There are wooden booths all around the edge of the space, with a long bench in the middle space. Most of these were occupied with one or two patrons, who were there watching the Six Nations rugby that was on the big screen. Perusing their drinks menu, I was delighted to see they had Sierra Nevada pale ale by the bottle, so I pick this as my tipple.Their food menu did pizza and pasta. But as we had pizza earlier in the day, we all opted for pasta. I was told their cannelloni takes a long time, time I didn't have, so I went for the lasagne. And as the same as everyone else who ordered the lasagne, I was disappointed. It was bland with way too much tomato and bechamel sauce poured all over it. It also wasn't very hot. The garlic bread was OK, but not much better. It came with a tomato sauce on it, which I think it could have done without. Their pizzas did look good, but I don't know how they tasted.Another thing that would stop me going back is the table reservations. Every single booth and table had a reserved sign on it. This is a bar, right? On this occasion it wasn't a problem because we took a table that we knew we will have vacated by the time the people who booked it had arrived. But given the choice later on a Saturday night, I'd probably not pick Aces & Eights due to the chances of getting a seat being lowered significantlyI would go back, but only for the booze and there was a seating available
