Gunmakers in Camden

Wanted so badly to love this place but it was a total letdown. My friend booked the back room at Gunmaker’s for his 25th birthday and they were the most passive aggressive, ungracious hosts I’ve ever experienced. Just unfriendly, cold energy from the moment we walked in and a total apathy for their patrons. Tacos were mediocre and guacomole was more tomato than avocado. Made it abundantly clear that they didn’t want us there by 10 even though the place didnt close until 11. Take your business somewhere it’ll be appreciated.

We hired the venue out for my 30th birthday - it was absolutely perfect, Marissa and the team could not have been more accommodating of anything we asked for. The food and cocktails were amazing and was commented on by all the guests. I would recommend this venue to anyone looking to go for dinner/drinks or as we did for private hire on a weekend.

I made the right decision to spend my birthday at Tigre Tacos at the Gunmakers. We had a great time. The food was exactly what I was looking for, genuine, unpretentious, delicious Mexican Pacific-style food. As this was a last-minute plan we were unable to book a table earlier and so we had a limited time to order food before the kitchen closed. Nonetheless, the staff made their best to cater and deliver our food and drinks orders on time. Everyone had a good time and I really enjoyed spending my birthday evening there. As a Mexican myself, I can fully recommend this place!

If you just want a pint at the bar, forget it. They will try to corral you to a table and then when you try and pay will try and sneak a 25% service charge on top without telling you (even when you've tried to go to the bar to get the drinks yourself, and even when you have to wait 15minutes for your drinks).

Best Mexican food I’ve ever had, this place is honestly incredible. Make sure you ask Ziggy. Please please please visit here, the staff are incredible and so friendly but the food is honestly unbelievable.

Does not open when it advertises on website apparently should of opened at 12:00 on Friday but don’t open till 16:00 especially when you decide to change days to accommodate this pub

We hired out the garden at The Gunmakers for a work event to celebrate a big milestone. The team at The Gunmakers looked after us so well. The cocktails are absolutely banging and the tacos are one of the best I've tried in London. Highly recommend this place if you are wanting to hire out a space for a work/personal celebration.

Always a pleasure to visit this pub! And you also have the choice of the Marylebone farmers market! Good choice of beers and food

Have literally just visited and loved it so much I've immediately come here to write a reciew. Hard work deserves recogniton. I've had a couple of awful visits to places really so what a pleasant surprise to arrive and be greeted by some of the most attentive staff I've experienced in a long time! Couldn't do enough to accommodate and make us feel welcome. Checked in regularly, so that we always had what we needed. Lovely venue, cool covered garden out back, perfect for a couple of drinks (highly recommend the spiced margaritas) and some tacos (Taco Tuesdays is a good time to go!) Can't wait to return!

We had a lovely time at The Gunmakers! Their back garden looks great and they even have a palm tree there, called Paloma! Serving London's best fish tacos is not the only thing they offer, with vegetarian and vegan options to please everyone, they also make the best Margarita I have ever tried! Now that's a cocktail pub to go back to! you will find great vibes, good music and service there so we are defo going back for the grilled octopus next time!

Best cocktail pub in London! Went there for a Margarita and some tacos with friends and found a little slice of Mexico nestled in a beautiful english pub! I love the palm tree in the back garden and the camarones tacos and guacamole were the best I ever had! Victor and his team are the best!

I've been to this place with a couple of friends. We stopped for a beer and a chat and we discovered a pearl! Great fish tacos and Mexican speciality, amazing cocktails and good vibes, not to mention the large choice of Tequila and Mezcal, it could only be an unforgettable evening! Highly recommended

This is by far the only place I have had a Mexican twist on octopus and it is amazing. You can preorder this via email and honestly it is show stopper as you can make tacos from it!

I've seen this place in many guises over the years and this is the best yet - by a mile! Amazing cocktail list by the lovely bar manager (Arianne I think), based mainly on tequila and mezcal + loads of lovely beers. But the food is the star of the show - best tacos I've had in this country I think.. all pescatarian which suits me perfectly. I tried the Baja, the Camarones and a vegan one that I can't remember the name of, but all delicious and I'll be back loads

Used to frequent a lot back in the noughties. It was a classic old spit and sawdust pub that screamed character and history. Now it is has a generic cocktail bar atmosphere. Not sure I've ever seen a more disappointing refurb which may well have been in place for years. There is basically no character left in this place and no real reason to visit it any more. The staff were friendly, mulled wine was good and the pizza was ok but it is a non-entity of a place now and plenty of other more interesting places to drink round the area. Very sad.

Called in on spec, with six friends and was immediately found a table despite it being busy. The manager, Paddy, and staff simply couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Beers well kept, pizzas were brilliant.

Gunmakers solía ser mi local para después de las bebidas de trabajo. Volvimos ayer para el almuerzo (después de unos años). Eché de menos el viejo propietario alegre pero el personal era muy amable. Las hamburguesas eran encantadoras, la gamba era realmente deliciosa.Todavía es un gran pub pero me perdí el pescado y las papas fritas en el menú (¡solían ser increíbles y realmente apetecidas!).

Couldn’t even finish my food, like eating vomit. Service was very friendly but want old chef’s recipes!

Gunmakers es un pequeño y pintoresco pub victoriano rodeado de restaurantes gastronómicos como Eagle and the Coach (anteriormente Coach and Horses) y lucha un poco por encontrar una identidad. ¿Debería ser un bar selecto que venda cervezas artesanales y cócteles haciendo uso del área de jardín abierto en la parte de atrás en el verano? ¿Cómo usar la habitación del primer piso? ¿Como comedor o su más reciente encarnación como barberos? ¿Y qué comida servir? Hace unos años, se trataba de salchichas, puré y fayre de pub estándar. Luego recuerdo el momento de un barman fuertemente tatuado y bigotudo cuando la comida tomó un toque sudamericano antes de volverse mucho más prosaica nuevamente. Leí que en enero, un nuevo chef trajo un toque asiático a un menú más amplio. Ayer, sin embargo, era evidente que el menú había cambiado de nuevo porque lo que se ofrecía eran (principalmente) hamburguesas exóticas, como el pollo criollo, el cordero y las gambas que probamos. Ambos vinieron con unas patatas fritas picantes. Se sentía como si se adaptaba bastante bien al lugar. Todavía hay una bocanada de obras de arte en las paredes. Un gran lugar para una conversación íntima o un almuerzo de negocios.

Small but cosy. Relaxed atmosphere, with board games. Food is good and general services is also good!

Nice place. It has a warm and welcoming atmosphere and the staff were friendly, polite and efficient. A great selection on the menu and what I tasted was good Recommended

Encontramos este lugar por casualidad y me alegro de haberlo hecho. La comida era absolutamente excepcional, una de las mejores comidas que he probado. El hongo XO fue el destaque plato, pero todos los platos pequeños eran increíbles. El personal no podría haber sido más amable. El ambiente es muy relajado, sin duda volveremos.

Visitado recientemente después de escuchar cosas buenas, ¡no me decepcionó!Servicio increíble, me sentí muy bienvenido! Vengo de un pueblo pequeño, así que echo de menos la sensación familiar de los pubs locales. Este pub tiene eso y más. La comida era deliciosa, una gran selección de cervezas y un montón de encantadoras esquinas para esconderse.Lo mejor fue el hombre súper caliente con barba, su nombre era Fred. Él es un activo para el pub, ¡dale a ese tipo una paga! ! !

Era extraño que este pub sirve comida asiática, y la comida vinieron con era aún más raro. Pero era tan delicioso! Muy creativo y muy sabroso. Ahora uno de mis lugares favoritos para comer. Pero esperamos harán que las alas de pollo no tan dulce, quizás pedir que la próxima vez.

Queríamos probar prácticamente todos los platos del menú y valió la pena. ¡Incluso los platos vegetarianos eran tan deliciosos! ! Cada vez que salía un plato tenía que decir '¡esto es tan extraño! "Pero después de comerlos superó las expectativas:) pub, personal y menú muy bueno.

Una vez que descubre un lugar como este, es muy difícil volver a otro pub casi todas en la zona. Este es especialmente el caso cuando uno de sus competidores locales es el pub " ¿El reflujo gastroesofágico puede original, El Eagle, en Farringdon calle cercana. La cerveza aquí en el Gunmakers almacenado y sirve a la perfección, y la comida es una maravilla. Generoso, bien con sabor y increíblemente hecho discreta sirve, con especial atención a sus necesidades, y no más. Encontrar, y disfrutar. Es uno de mis pubs favoritos muy.

Cuatro de nosotros reunirse aquí una vez al año. No te lo pienses en el tiempo, pero no puedo haber sido cualquier música como podíamos conversar sin esfuerzo. Es un antiguo pub antiguo íntimo que sirve un par de cervezas. No te vayas específicamente para la comida, pero que la relación calidad precio era razonable para - alrededor de £10 por una principal con patatas fritas. Como en cualquier pub en un distrito de trabajo, se llena a las 6 de la tarde y es prácticamente vacía a las 22:00 h. Un buen lugar para ponerse al día con los amigos.

Se reunió con amigos para el almuerzo y unas cuantas cervezas al haber comido aquí en el pasado y siempre me pareció bueno. Sin embargo, resulta que el pub ha cambiado de manos hace un año así que, en vez de una buena elección del menú o algunas especialidades diarias, nos han dejado a elegir o ensaladas o hamburguesas. Las hamburguesas estaban bien, aunque las patatas fritas que venían con ellos no era tan buena. Había un menú de Navidad disponible, pero había que seleccionar con antelación así que no es bueno para nosotros. Había 9 de nosotros, y fue así que uno del grupo llegó tarde y no comer como la mesa nos sentamos en sólo 8 personas defendieron. Nos pusieron en una pequeña habitación de arriba así que no es ideal. cervezas son bien, sin embargo

Hidden away but worth a visit. Great beers outstanding food, relaxed environment so all in all a very nice spot to visit.

Had a great time after a night out pubbing in London's Clerkenwell neighborhood. Our hotel was around the corner so we thought we'd try this craft beer gem. Had a couple beers that we didn't see elsewhere. Liked the nice friendly laidback atmosphere.

Pequeña y bonita mixto. Clerkenwell parece ser rellenas con "estilo cadena pubs. El mismo lo viejo. La misma cerveza, la misma comida congelada re-climatizada y poner en un plato. Si pagas un poco más pero para ser honesta, prefiere pagar un poco más y tienen...

Went here on a Friday night after work, I was told to come early to ensure a spot in the Beer Garden. Nice little pub with a quirky design. Drinks were reasonably priced, as far as London goes. Great burgers menu, with options for vegetarians as well. Had a great time and got great service - including table service; unusual for a pub in London these days, found my new favourite spot for after work drinks with the office.

No esperes mucho cuando yo probé suerte en este lugar, enclavado entre los sitios y saltos de edificio en Hill Street Eyre. Lo más gracioso charlar con dos miembros del personal que nos las arreglamos para convencerme para probar algunas cervezas que suene bastante moderno en realidad resultó ser bien. Ellos me señaló el camino a la bonita zona al aire libre, algo que no me esperaba en absoluto.

I popped in here to have a drink on an extremely hot afternoon and found a delightful crew of staff who were chatty and friendly and the barmaid Hannah made me a fantastic G&T which was made exactly right and presented beautifully. The other people there all seemed to be enjoying themselves and frankly the food looked very good and I just wished I had time to eat. The decor was clean and fresh but most of all the atmosphere was lovely. Well done team I think you've got the balance between friendliness and professionalism exactly right.

Well what can you say about this place...I should of been put off by the two 18 going on chubby legged peroxide blondes sitting outside on the pavement in "short shorts" (the Sun had threatened to emerge) braying "it's so sanfrisco darling" in a mock (badly done Sloane accent) ...But I braved it.... beer was reasonably priced to be fair, but 8 quid for a glass of stone flat Lidl Proseco was taking the Michael. ..In the barmans defence he did try and warn us off!Place was filled with immature late teens early twenties darlings desperately hoping to be mistaken for a Chelsea set debutante. Sad place, sticky tables, obnoxious customers and flat overpriced drinks .... avoid.Only decent thing it had going for it was customers were good for laughing at.. and barman was a good egg.Worst pub I have been in in a London borough in over 20 years......Prosseco pic attached..

If Dulux ran a pub this would be it. A bland shade of upper middle class malaise set in the heart of dreary Clerkenwell.If you're the sort of chap who wears tailored shorts and flamingo-pink polo-shirts then this is for you. If you like to bray loudly about all the really awesome places you've bummed around in during your parent-financed gap-year then get yourself down here pronto. If you like character; warmth; good conversation, etc, then I'd suggest you get yourself the hell out of dodge. The only reason I can see why it was called The Gunmakers was perhaps because while I was in there I sincerely wanted to shoot myself.

I've been an infrequent regular of the Gunmakers for a number of years and could always rely on it as a quirky but excellent niche gastropub to impress friends with my insider knowledge of Olde London Towne.Some idiot has decided to paint it muck around with the atmoshphere.Get a grip.

This little place is awesome. Tucked away in a little street of Clerkenwell, wasn't too busy and had a nice chilled atmosphere. The devilled eggs were insane! £5 for real tasty home-made scotch eggs in the city is well worth it. Great draft beer selection, and the service was great.

Called this afternoon with my husband and son. Only us and one other person in the place. Ordered fish and chips, scampi and chips and a steak ciabatta sandwich. The chips on all three meals were cremated as was the fish and scampi. They were the colour of mahogany. We complained. The bar worker shrugged. If you could give it minus stars I would. You have been warned!

There was NO beer on tap and the menu was short and overpriced - £8 for a scotch egg and chips. I have been here before and while it has always been expensive it used to have quite a nice atmosphere, it has now had a 'makeover' and this has gone. There are much better pubs in the area, and you can get better food from the Leather Lane food stalls.

Full of trendies and locals. Serve a nice pint (a full pint would be nice). That's what they charge for. Best avoided unless you are a local..or better a trendy local

Per come si può mangiare bene in un pub, qui c'è siamo cavata molto bene!Locale piccino, con pochi tavoli e con un piccolo dehors in fase di ultimazione, personale gentile, ho assaggiato un pasticcio di manzo su un letto di polenta: ben cotto e con un sapore buono.Probabilmente ci tornerò anche perché il conto era giusto.

Nice place for s few pints on the way home. Old style atmosphere, a bit of pavement for drinking and a good beer an wine list.

Siamo andati da The Gunmakers per cena e ci siamo trovati in un locale per veri londinesi. La gamma delle birre non era ampia, ma la selezione è sembrata accurata. Il cibo è molto buono e il prezzo onesto. Consigliato.

This has been my favourite London pub since I discovered it by chance some 6 years ago. I loved the guest beers, the excellent menu and the eclectic mix of furniture and customers. But on my last visit I found that the menu had been truncated, the beer not on par and the whole pub smells of gentlemen's toilets. I'd hate to see it turn into some trendy theme bar, but come on, make an effort ...

As I walked past The Gunmakers my first impression was that it looked a bit too local for my liking. However the real ale signs were an encouragement to look in and the prominently displayed simple and reasonably priced menu meant that I stopped for a drink and something to eat. I enjoyed a truly delicious pint and a good and promptly delivered Greek salad. I wish that I'd had time to linger; maybe next time. Recommended.

The food was great and so was the beer. This is a local for real conversation with friends. No loud music, no tacky lighting, just an honest to goodness pub like they used to be. Thought twice about writing a review because it would be a shame for this place to get too popular. Be sure to ask what is on the menu that is gluten free, the chef put together an excellent GF meal for us. Not a lot of vegetarian options the night we were there though.

I often go here for lunch with a work colleague. It is a little unprepossessing from the outside, but hides a quaint wooden space with room for only a couple or so tables in a room behind, with further tables available up a rickety staircase upstairs.There are never more than eight or nine items chalked up on a blackboard including starters and mains, many of which are staples appearing from one week to the next. Steak and chips, fish pie and chorizo risotto topped with a chicken joint are my personal favourites.There is a good choice of craft beers.Service is polite, friendly and efficient. Something of a hidden gem.

Not much to look at from the outside, it's easy to miss this warm, cozy, friendly little pub just off Clerkenwell Road. I never miss going here at least 2-3 times every time I am in London and Jeff Bell, the proprietor is a real craft beer fan who rotates at least one tap almost every day and makes this Yank feel right at home. The food menu is a bunch of daily specials, written on a chalk board, and everything is tasty, good quality gastro-pub fare at reasonable prices. Stay out of the "chain" pubs and get over to "Gunnys". Tell Jeff that Mark from Atlanta sent you!

Un altra perla in zona clerkenwell.Pub semplice spartano con un numero giusto di vie (per la birra) e tutte di ottima qualità.Il cibo oserei direi fantastico e il prezzo in rapporto alla qualità più che onesto.Peccato non sia sulla strada principale ,sicuramente più un pub per local che per turisti.Competenza (sulle birre) e cortesia dietro al bancone non a caso c'era un ragazzo italiano.Merita una visita se si è a Londra.

What a tremendous pub! Slightly tucked away in an anonymous little street.From the outside it doesn't appear particularly promising but inside it is probably the perfect beer drinker's pub.There's a great micro brewery beer selection, enthusiastic and knowledgeable staff and very cosy surroundings. The food is a revelation. We went for a couple of drinks after work and ended up staying all evening.

We were told to stop playing our musical tie. It was annoying the pedantic bar man.And the gin was horrible.

Love going here after work - staff are friendly and there's a lovely open area out back in the summer.

Works night out.Great beer and a nice atmosphere.We didn't partake in the food, but what we saw being served up looked tasty.Extensive selection of beers served by a knowledgeable team behind the bar.

No TV, no background music to encourage Ted-from-IT-on-his-24th-birthday-and-drunk-from-the-alcopops-at-lunch-in-the-copyroom to do slurred karaoke. No poker machines.What you do get is one of the best beer selections in London. 4-5 handpumps, a couple of great lagers and some real cider. The quality of the beer is second to none. There is great joy, care and knowledge in this place.Clearly the landlord knows his product; he knows his regulars and knows the value of how to engage new customers--there's always a good story to be told.Leo the barman is a legend; the Ben Sherman and Agent Provacateur regulars add a touch of sexy to the place. Mountain Climber Whitters, Matty Lad, Ed the Patois Pizzamaker, Terry the retired footballer, Wee Rossie, Dr Evil Dael, Lambchop, Jim the Texan..the list of regulars, the famous and their hangers-on is legendary and sure to help ensure your time at The Gunmakers is beyond excellent.Summary: you have to drink here if you consider yourself a fan of great craft beers, you just won't be disappointed.Can't wait to drink again and can't wait for the return of crisps, olives and piercing tweets.

Went to this pub the other evening, I have to say that the Pork Burger that I had was very nice and the waitress that served us was also very nice. However, the landlord is something else! We had a little confusion with our order but no one got upset but the LL took to Twitter to criticise us whilst we were still there?!! When a one of the group confronted him he went ballistic never experienced anything like it.Shame as this ruined what would have been an otherwise nice pub - the food was pretty good and the beer wasnt too bad.

One of our party mentioned last night to the owner that moaning about us on twitter whilst we were still eating wasn't appropriate. This escalated into said owner calling my partner a fat [--] and threatening to headbutt him. Rates as one of the most bizarre experiences of drinking in London. We paid our bill. Tipped. Will never return.

It's not downtown, it's not local. But it's as good as it gets. Hands down the best place to drink yourself through the afternoon, at great prices with great atmosphere and friendly staff. This is my number 1 waterhole in London

Gunmakers is the essence of British public houses. They have a good selection of different beers, prober pub food served with confidence and style and a nice location outside the beaten path. Sitting down, looking at a picture of Winston Churchill sitting in the exact spot as you is very awesome....

This was my first visit to this pub, but I am coming back again the next time I am in London. We came in just before lunch finished, but the landlord happily took our order. The place was very quiet since most people had gone back to work, so we got to talk to the landlord for a bit and he let us sample the ales and made suggestions. They had three types of real ale and one cider when we there. The food was homemade and tasted great. Possibly one of the best meals I had on my trip.The landlord managed to give the pub a great atmosphere even though it was nearly empty when we were there. Can't wait to check it out at a busier time next time I am in London.

My second visit to this pub, as was in London for the weekend visiting. A fine selection of real ales, a friendly landlord, decent atmosphere and nice decor. We had a two course meal, which was fresh, tasty and very well priced. Don't really fault this and was a better option for food than a nearby restaurant the previous evening. Worth a visit for visitors staying nearby or those who enjoy their real ale and a traditional pub. Look forward to coming back.

I've visited this pub several times just for a drink with friends, but had a meal there for the first time at the beginning of September. We didn't book (just two of us), but were served quickly once we'd decided what to have from the chalkboard menu. My vegetarian pasta was a good-sized serving with really tasty tomato and goats cheese sauce, with aubergine and other veg. My friend's Gumbo was also declared delicious. Simple but excellent fare, and good value. The real ales here are also kept in very good condition and represent a good range, mostly of London breweries, but not all. Just a shame that, like so many other pubs in and on the edges of the City, it's not open at weekends.

I booked a table for 4 here on Friday. We left within 10 minutes after shockingly rude treatment by the staff. OK so it's Friday night, a small pub and totally rammed but that's not an excuse for making people feel like they are in your way. If you don't want people to come and eat food in your pub on a Friday night then don't sell it. Of the real ales, 2 were off so you had a choice of Harveys best and one other. This might be alright for a post work pint but probably not worth going out of your way for, certainly not a place to take parents/relatives and definitely not somewhere to go if you want service with a smile.

Great atmosphere, friendly service & patrons- if you want to experience a British pub, this is the place to go. Try the nachos- they are fantastic. We also had the fish & chips which are not nearly as greasy as one would expect at a pub. I didn't try the tandoori chicken but it was a hit with the rest of the table. And of course the beer- but who really cares after the first seven, right?!!

We ate a great meal here. Good beer on tap, tucked away on a side street. A neat little London joint.

Very cosy pub with good selection of beer.
