The College Arms in Camden

DO NOT DO THE BOTTOMLESS BRUNCH! If I could give this place no stars I would. The service, attitude of the staff and the food and drink were diabolical. We booked a bottomless brunch for a hen do, to which half of the food menu was not available at 12pm! We didn’t have a first full round of drinks until an hour in to our two hour session. We were told there was no cranberry juice, which is the base of most cocktails, to which we ask what can they do and they went to the shop and bought some. Out of the three non alcoholic cocktails they could only make one even though they were on the menu. To top the whole lot off one of the chicken burgers was EXTREMELY RAW and this was given to a pregnant woman. We were told by the person behind the bar that this was not the first time this has happened either. We highly recommend that they do not serve bottomless brunch anymore as the service cannot be provided.

Was nice and quiet inside. Staff were friendly and my drink was reasonably priced. Didn’t try the food as I wasn’t hungry but the menu looked really good. Would definitely visit again

Partner and I shared a pizza and topped fries. The food was average and not worth the price. Overall, the atmosphere was okay, and was good for a drink. Would return for a drink, but not for food.

This pub holds events which excludes trans women - I unknowingly turned up to the 'lesbian speed dating' event and left early because I found this out halfway through. The organisers told me that trans women were banned because they were men and because they thought that they might assault women. One organiser snapped at me "of course men can't come to a lesbian event", referring to transwomen. She then recorded me for several minutes (as a method of intimidation?). She had invited members of the press so she could gain media coverage explaining why trans women should be excluded from spaces. Complaints have been made to the company which owns the pub - Stonegate - but they do not care that marginalised people are being labelled as sex offenders and a whole social group is being excluded on the basis of this. This pub is allowing something hateful and harmful to happen in its basement, as as someone who attended, I can assure you that it is not a safe space for queer people or LGBT+ friendly.

Booked a table online for me and my friends to have a few drinks and nibbles. We arrived and the team made our night! Service was smooth, the cocktails were amazing (really love the Tiki Sunrise!) and our crowd pleaser was really filling!! Will be back!!!!

Me and a group of my friends went the other night for some after work drinks and the service was fabulous! Staff were friendly especially Luke, he was more than happy to cater to all our needs. Would absolutely recommend.

A nice homey feeling the food is great and is a great place to hangout with friends after class ! Would definitely recommend coming here

What a great find for bottomless lunch with a great variety of drinks and cocktails rather than the standard prosecco or beer that everyone else does. The food was also excellent by the way and was plenty full to soak up the drinks! I have to praise the lovely lady (apologies I forgot your name) who was serving at the bar that day as she was very friendly and had a great sense of humour so did not get offended by my rowdy friends and their sarcastic sense of humour!!!!

Came here with friends the other day and the craft selection was a real treat! It was very busy but the staff were extremely efficient and we didn’t have to wait for drinks. Will definitely be returning!

Good range of beers and a cracking atmosphere when I visited last night. Team really looked after me and made me feel welcome. Will be back soon!

Lovely pub, great staff. Gets busy on Thursdays and Fridays but the bartender's are experts so doesn't take long to get served. Cheaper than other pubs about here and they look after the beer properly (unlike some other pubs nearby). Recommend the neck oil.

Lovely staff, great food, excellent range of craft beer and the manager was super nice! Will definitely be back!

We can't thank the team enough for making our day when we visited for my sisters hen party! They were fantastic! The venue is lovely, clean and a great place to be!

Friendly staff made great drink recommendations. Lively, well decorated interior serving delicious beer. The owner gave us a free keychain because we were American. We definitely would return to college arms!

Great range of drinks, different to what you can find in the nearby alternatives and the interior is really well done and fun. Friendly staff, good prices, nice atmosphere - it’s a great choice for a drink at least!

As per the title, we had a very unfortunate experience. The Mac & Cheese was the smallest portion we could possibly imagine for £13 pounds. Supposedly a main with size of a siding! The Sunday Roast was near impossible to cut with a knife. I felt like my teeth might come out with every round of chewing. I’m sorry to say that it was a rather horrid lunch, all in all.

I went out with a couple of friends. It had a great atmosphere and drinks menu to pick from. I would really recommend!

Had a great time there the team were fantastic and the food options were really nice and great drinks selection from the craft to the cocktails

Swung past the college arms with a group of friends out in the city. Very accommodating despite us being a bigger group. We were served quickly, and the staff made everyone feel very welcome. Would 100% recommend!!!!

Great visit. Food was good and the manager was delightful. Had a lovely time and will be back again when in the area

Popped in for a quick pint, great service and while I didn’t eat… after seeing the food being serviced I will definitely have a burger next time I’m in the area!

Went for a few drinks with friends the staff were reasonable and the drinks were well priced, would definitely go again.

Good dinner, smiling people and nice location for my italian group! God save the Queen and see you soon for the next fish & chips!

Top night at the College Arms. Great atmosphere with live music / DJ and good beer selection. Bar staff really friendly, especially Diana. Definitely recommend!

Live music tonight was great. Such a lovely pub, couldn’t believe the cocktails were 2-4-1 all day. Great range of craft beers as well!

Who needs the queen when you’ve got Diana on jubilee weekend. Top night - top service - great beer - lovely boozer Highly recommend

This pub is my fave. Love it always. Right up my street. And I live on this street! Diana has totally made my night 5*

This is an excellent place to eat, the food is very good, the place is very lovely and thanks to Diana !

After booking a table at 8:30pm, I was looking forward to a nice relaxing evening at the restaurant - sadly, that wasn’t to be. Once we were seated (next to the only other couple in the restaurant) - odd when it was empty apart from...

Great service. Great location. Great beer. Really nice modern pub with a good selection of craft and staple beers. Good amount of screens.

Lovely pub with excellent service, thank you to Pooja for my beers!! Good location and friendly staff, impressive selection of ales

Visited here with some friends, service by Alex was great - really good rapport with our group and the drinks and food were all great value for money.

I've never spent much time in Bloomsbury but was here for a Christmas party - fun place with very patient staff considering we took over half the pub and had had a few too many drinks as it was... cheerful and would definitely visit again.

The quality of the food being delivered to tables around us and the variety in their menu made it difficult to make a choice. The offer of a chilli burger was too hard to pass up and I'm happy to say it was melt in...

Came for a big group Christmas dinner on Saturday and can say with my hand on my heart, this was one of the worst meals I've had in London with abysmal service. It was just re-heated awfulness on everyones plate and looked terrible. My partner...

Followed the tripadvisor review... wrong. We should have left as NOBODY ELSE was eating. The chips were oven chips. The peas were bullets and the pizza was under cooked, pale and limp. Sure it’s a nice pub but food was worst I’ve had in years.

the quiz was great fun, the quiz master was a hun, we love him. pints are fabby!!! the crowd is amazing. #live laugh love xx

Thanks Sofia for the warm welcome and great service! Lovely place to grab a catch-up with mates for a drink and a bite!

I had a group of friends visit me to watch the match and that has been impossible to book anywhere in the city. I was so stressed already until I found this gem in Fitzrovia. The place really saved me by accommodating us with short...

I have been at the college twice this week, I really enjoy the atmosphere and the fast service! Arianna has been very kind with us! I definitely recommend this pub!

Great pub with great ambience. I really enjoyed alot with my friends. The drinks were so good. It was cheap as well.

Fabulous customer service and good vibe for a friendly atmosphere. Had a amazing cocktails on affordable price range

I only popped in for a real ale drink and was spoilt for choice. the staff were great and friendly. Only reason not 5 stars is upstairs toilets. This a Stonegate group pub but not in the CAMRA scheme so I suggest you ask for...

Después de ordenar el almuerzo, esperamos una hora y tres cuartos antes de que llegara. Seguimos preguntando qué había pasado con nuestro pedido y nos dijeron constantemente, otros 5 minutos. El lugar estaba prácticamente vacío y otros que habían pedido comida también estaban esperando más de una hora sin explicación. Cuando llegó la comida estaba cocida y casi fría. ¡Es mejor evitar este lugar!

Esperamos 1 1/2 horas para nuestra comida. Cuando llegó durante un período de 20 minutos hacía frío, ¡pero para entonces estábamos desesperados! Tuve el menú especial para el almuerzo: cuando pedí la factura me dijeron que no pedía un refresco y que tenía que pagar 2. 05 más. El servicio fue pésimo y grosero. He estado revisando en Tripadvisor durante 8 años, 18 de los cuales 2 han sido malos. Pero este es el peor lugar en el que he estado.Hay al menos media docena de pubs mucho mejores a un minuto a pie de este lugar.

He estado aquí varias veces tanto para bebidas como para comer. La comida en sí es deliciosa pero el servicio es horrible.En el bar, incluso si no está ocupado, se necesitan años para ser atendidos. A menudo, el personal está demasiado ocupado teniendo una conversación para reconocerlo.En cuanto a la comida, realmente he hecho que personas de mi grupo esperen una hora y 20 minutos para que les sirvan un sándwich y papas fritas. Había aproximadamente 40 personas en el bar y pedimos juntos. Si intentas perseguir la comida, los camareros son groseros contigo.Si no estás buscando una comida rápida, te recomendaría potencialmente, pero no debes pasar hambre. . .

Queríamos ver el partido de la FIFA entre Estados Unidos y Inglaterra, así que nos lanzamos a este pub. Además del buen pescado y las papas fritas, conversamos con algunos británicos en la siguiente mesa después del juego. Fueron muy viajados, interesantes y conocedores. Apuesto a que este pub es el tipo de lugar en el que es fácil hablar con la gente. Mi amigo tenía la ensalada de halloumi que era bastante salada. Me alegro de no haber ordenado eso.
