The Hawley Arms in Camden

Good pub, went because Amy Winehouse used to go in. Sat in the rooftop area.

Was really pissed off. 15 mins to get a drink. No food available. 1 lassie serving drinks proper chat merchant. Interested only in doing as little work as possible. We left saying g not a place to go back to.not clean either. Yuk.

Stopped by for a beer with my son having travelled down from the Midlands. Staff were great and one guy behind the bar kindly let us hold the Wolf Alice Mercury Prize for photos. The pub is a must see for music fans.

The food looked great, but we didn’t eat there - not too sure about the low level carrying of food orders (waist height) just the right height for collecting spittle and coughs. That aside, the atmosphere was great, the staff were friendly, the service was swift and the Guinness was great. 👍🏼

I loved this legendary place, imbued with a special atmosphere 🎤🎶 Amy Winehouse ❤️

Amy’s favourite pub - a must visit in Camden

The music is so loud is hard to hold any conversation with anyone. Very stressful and busy. People serving at the bar were nice and helpful. Food was good but I wouldn’t recommend dining here.

Service was good friendly staff bit really difficult to find a seat

Completely agree with another other review what user called “cherry” left I had a very similar experience.i was excited to visit but had a bizzare encounter with the door man who stopped me as I was entering to ask me if I have anything on me which he should know about I basically had to show him the inside of my bag, not the most welcoming and warm first impression also felt bar staff could be more warm and welcoming, unfortunately. Other patrons was super friendly which made up for this and I did love the decor and history behind the place, so much to look around at. Interesting visit I guess..

Historical British 🇬🇧 Pub, steeped in Music 🎵legendary. Great atmosphere, roof terrace if needed. Always a pleasure.

Hawley Arms 🇬🇧 🍺🍺🍺🍺 from 5 🟢 The history of this pub in the Camden district dates back to 1851, then under the name Hawley Arms Tavern. In the 1980s, there was a motorcycle club bar, and in 1995 it was discovered that the bar phone was used by the neo-Nazi terrorist organization Combat 18. The singer Amy Winehouse frequented this bar until her death in 2011. The rock bands Arctic Monkeys, Wolf Alice and Kaiser Chiefs are also frequent here. In February 2008, a fire engulfed most of Camden, including this pub. Many artists who collected signatures or donated money from their concerts were responsible for the reopening in the fall of the same year. The sale of the Hawley Arms, which was supposed to take place in 2019 to developers, did not take place thanks to the "Hawley Heroes" and their contribution of appropriate funds, and this pub is still run by heart ❤️. On the pin: 🟡 The Hawley Grail by Greene King House Brewery, on tap as Cask Ale Made directly for Hawley Arms. Bronze color with practically zero foam with caramel and malt in the aroma. The taste is very light, malty, caramel, minimally saturated, citrusy and decently fermented to a dry finish. All in all, decent sipping. The cut is low and the finish is light to the drydown. 📌 Beer style: IPA 📌 Legal category: top-fermented beer 📌 Barley malt 📌 Alk. 3.4% Rating 🍺🍺🍺🍺 out of 5 The liquid bread of our nation God bless you! 🍻

The fish and chips were just wonderful. Sausage and mash so tasty and the Hawley burger was so filling. Exceptional busy but didn't have to wait too long. Very polite and happy waiter. Couldn't fault our visit. Not as expensive as we thought it would cost in london. Service charge is automatically added which we were happy to pay.

one of my favorite pubs in Camden. such a vibe and super friendly staff!

Can't leave a review. They wouldn't let us in as we had no ID on us. We're aged 47 and 49

Wow great bar and spectacular history

First time visit hopefully not the last Thanks to all the wonderful staff Cheers

There are no words to describe and express this place I feel like I entered Amy's world for a few minutes, it was magnificent the pub was surrounded by photos of Amy, simple words I love it. The Fish and chips were also very good, the girls were very kind and sweet.

Looking forward to visiting this great boozer again. Fab.

I was really excited to finally visit this pub. Lovely pub but what a miserable barmaid (the one with the darker hair). House of front staff are what sells your beer - once I've finished my pint ( I'm gone) - I'm sure there are more friendlier pubs around the area.

Unpleasant waitress, we simply asked her if there was a concert tonight and she didn't even deign to answer, she turned around and left us with the word in our mouths. When you come to Spain you will be treated the same way

Nice place with limited, but reasonable, beer selection. Actually stuck to its opening hours (or, at least, I managed to buy a beer after 23:00 on a Wednesday). Good vibe I thought in a genuinely pleasant location.

Amazing, I had steak and it was done perfectly. My favourite pub in London

Reasonable fish and chips. Nicely decorated and quirky place.

Downstairs bar gets busy so go upstairs and get served straight away.

Cozy ambience, friendly staff and delicious vegan options. Chose the vegan Bangers and Mash and really enjoyed it.

Nice bar, all the bar tenders were talking and one was serving. Everything else was cool. I like the vibe of this place. 5 stars all day.

Stylish pub conveniently located near the market, perfect for a pit stop. The roof garden is a really lovely spot when the sun is out.

Woukd be helpful if they could answer their phone.

Great pub in the heart of Camden. Many well-known celebrities give/have given each other their hands here. Above all, it was Amy Winehouse who often visited this pub. It is very cozy here, you are greeted and treated like a friend. Despite the cult, the prices are not exorbitant and the food was excellent. An absolute must for every fan of pub culture and good music.

Perfect for a Sunday roast after a stroll at Camden market. Friendly welcome, good beers and typical setting.

Turned into an Amy winehouse tribute pub but still Good.

Really great pub. The atmosphere is great and the fish and chips are killer. To do absolutely

Absolutely shambolic. From the moment we arrived, the bouncer had an attitude and I wanted to leave after that first interaction. The bartender wasn’t much better—rude, dismissive, and seemingly incapable of making a proper drink. Ordered a vodka and coke, and I’d be genuinely shocked if it had so much as SEEN a bottle of vodka. Might as well have been a straight-up coke. The toilets? A disgrace. Filthy, neglected, and reeking of poor management. I’ll admit, the outdoor area is quite charming with its fairy lights and picnic tables, and the interior itself is decent enough. But let’s be honest—this place is coasting on the fumes of Amy Winehouse’s name rather than offering anything of real quality. Won’t be making the mistake of returning.

A really cool and quirky pub. Nice little smoking area out the back and lots of cool punk memorabilia on the walls

Great bar in the city center of Camde. town. The bartenders and bartenders are very friendly. Let's remember that this is Amy Winehouse's favorite bar and the place where she worked and sang. The decor is typical of an English pub with a great musical touch. You can drink as much as you eat If there's one pub to spend an evening in, it's this one.

Great atmosphere, good service 👍 watched folks who were definitely in their 60s get denied entry for not having ID which was unusual

If you are a fan of Amy Winehouse, this pub was "her" pub that she visited regularly. There is a collection of signed photos of famous singers and Amy. Don't miss the mural outside the pub. It's very noisy, very lively, a real Camden pub! A must see!

Great choice for those who like rock, lively atmosphere from early on, I stayed in London for 1 week, I went there at the beginning of the trip and chose to go back on the last day for a last drink

Amazing atmosphere and vibes, amazing decor, warm and welcoming staff. Huge portions and reasonable prices.

Great pub in Camden Town. They don't take orders at the table for the simple fact that in England it is customary to order at the counter in all pubs. Excellent variety of beer, a gem is the pub where Amy Winehouse spent her afternoons

Great atmosphere as usual, classic!

Made famous by Amy Winehouse, a great little boozer

Beware of the Hawley Arms, it’s a trap! You’d be a fool to think you go there “just for a drink”. You will end up having a great party and too much of that one drink! Every time I went there it was a good party with good friends making good memories. The only bad point is that the kitchen closes at 8, which I find too early.

Cook spot in Camden. Great energy!!

Came for a warm whilst killing time waiting for train home. Nice little pub with a cool atmosphere and yummy sticky toffee pud.

Lovely local pub with lots of music history. The staff were excellent as well.

The Hawley is a proper pub, with decent people and lovely bar staff. Outside smoking section. Bring ID, the bouncers are very good.

Another one of Amy's pubs. Cool atmosphere, rock, beer and burgers. Good option in the region.

Could have done with some music.

Classic English style pub in the beautiful and lively Camden Town. Welcoming environment and friendly staff, excellent quality of beers with excellent prices for London.

An absolute icon of a pub, I will always come back. The atmosphere is one of the bests in London from my opinion. The music as well as the service is great. The amount of kindness in this place is perfect and is really appreciated.

My daughter and I visited for lunch today - the staff were friendly and the menu had a good choice of food at reasonable prices. The beefburger I had was delicious - so much flavour - chips were amazing too. My daughter loved the chicken burger and loved the mix of it with chorizo. Only criticism of the pub was how crowded the tables were as some other customers didn't get personal space and obviously thought they should have our space too. The music they played in the pub was great too (Velvet Underground, Stealers Wheel etc). Would definitely visit again.

Big shoutout to this amazing pub. I make sure I come here everytime I’m in Camden. As a big Amy Winehouse fan this is a must. The atmosphere and vibes this place gives is truly magical and one of a kind🩷

Visited this pub for a drink after a long day of sight seeing, found one of the older female members of staff rude. I don't think this pub is for non-locals.

My husband and I come to the Hawley Arms every time we come down to London. My husband for many years remembers it as a great music venue the birth place of punk. Well today we went for our tradition of drinks and was told we were not allowed to sit downstairs as this is now reserved for dining. So we went upstairs like good little people and every table upstairs was also reserved for people for Lunch. The rude waiter/barman told us we had to move as it was reserved for Sue at 12:30-1pm. We moved to a dirty table with someone's discarded plates and drinks....it took them 15 minutes to even notice to clear it. This Sue character never showed up. We had to put up with dreadful Xfactor music also. We are very disappointed at the hostility of the staff so we left. Why make this amazing venue into some kind of gastro pub instead of what it is now and turn it back into what it stood for in the old days.

Got 2 double vodka and coke... £28...really, paid less in the middle of London and Westminster, felt like we had our leg lifted.plus toilets were discussing, I think a visit from environmental health would be advisable.

Gritty pub , nice atmosphere. Fish and chips excellent. Nice little hide away from the crowds.

One of the best pubs in Camden Town if not the best.

Didn't have food, but did have a wonderful pint of London Pride and it wasn't too expensive. My mate returned with his round in pint jugs. A real winner. Nice pub, ok staff but terrible choice of music. Rolling Stones live in the 70's isn't for me, others will wildly disagree. That's life I'm afraid. Nice pub tho.

Great atmosphere, good rock music. Was good to be first in sight right on the opening time, tables filled with people fast. Food was ok, and lots of options on drink menu. Super kind service. Absolutely going again when on London.

Great place staff very friendly so was the customers I was a tourist from Glasgow went down to london for a few days can’t fault the pub at all , That good going down for a few days with my daughter this January.

cool cheap, place. Btw… sent from my iphon

came here to see the bar as the one Amy Winehouse used to drink at, and were more than pleasantly surprised. Not only does the bar not attempt to benefit off Amy, but it has small, respectful odes to her around the venue. The bar itself is really well lit, a really enjoyable vibe - got a small snack and had a few drinks. Really good price for everything too, and a super friendly space for LGBT. if I ever get back to Camden I will a hundred percent be coming back here.

Doorman are absolute fools, can hardly speak English and have the biggest chips on their shoulders I’ve ever seen, plenty of better pubs in Camden this is a tourist trap.

The only thing I regret is not taking pictures! The vibe is electric due to the energy around me. From the jokes from the bouncer at the door to all the unique staff at the bar. I will be going back very soon, so I will update you with pictures. And I will definitely be enjoying food if it's available ☺️

Nice pub in the heart of Camden Town, where you can find autographs and photos of famous rock stars. Excellent food, unfortunately they don't take orders at the table, so the service is 3 stars out of 5.

I have been here before and generally a good venue but the door staff were gatekeepers beyond belief. The inquisition we got at the door just to go in and get a beer was totally unnecessary. We gave up and went somewhere else and had a better time. Your pub is good, but not that amazing. Get a grip 😎

🚇 Camden Town 🍺 £4.80 Amstel ❤️ An excellent Camden pub that caters for one and all. . Over the years Camden has been sanitised and watered down from its former hardcore self but it still maintains an attraction to me. There are a few places I like to visit but one of my favourite places to visit is @thehawleyarms . My favourite time to visit here is on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon to while away the hours with friends having a few beers or a bit of grub and immersing in to the environment here. The atmosphere is always amazing, this is in part due to the makeup of the pub and the enthusiastic and personable bar staff. This boozer has a lot of mystique attached to it, this place was famously the local of Amy Winehouse, God rest her soul. There is a beautiful mural of Amy at the side of the pub by @JXCDESIGNS in homage to her beauty and cement her legacy here. The Hawley has lots to offer across the generations, there is live music promoting up and coming bands and convivial weekend afternoons with good quality beers and food, so something for everyone. . I visit many pubs across London and often get asked for recommendations or what’s your favourite pub? Well if you’re in Camden day or night, you must visit The Hawley Arms. . 📅 3rd February 2022 More London pub info @londonpubmap 🍻

*didn't eat but the burger and chips looked amazing. Here we have a homely feeling pub overflowing with character in the building, the staff and most of the punters. We popped in for a drink on a bit of a pub crawl but found it to good to only have one drink. It extended to about four I think. The place filled to bursting and emptied, almost, leaving the seated drinkers with the ebb and flow of the pub crawlers. There's a lot to look at with the walls covered in Polaroid photos of locals and celebrities, including Amy Winehouse, the Queen of Camden. The music was rocking oldies and had the room singing along like an old London knees up. I can't wait to get back.

This is my favourite pub in the whole of England. The place just oozes positive vibes and the staff have wonderful positive energy and provide great service. I visit every time I’m in London 👏

Excellent place. Good music. Nice beers.

An iconic pub, filled to the brim with music memorabilia

cool pub with a nice little beer garden

El peor asado de domingo que he tenido (posiblemente una de mis peores comidas que he comido. Habría ido por pescado y patatas fritas pero la freidora estaba rota.

Really good, friendly efficient service, bar staff are on it ! 🙌

Extremely cold pub. Everyone has scarfs and coats on, at least put the fire on. Don't be so cheapskate.

Heat/stove should be on.. freezing, couldnt stay. Very friendly staff

Good local pub and interesting links to Amy Winehouse..

It is a wonderful bar in Camden. Good music. Good services.

Great bar! The bouncer was so mean and very pretentious and that kind of ruined the experience

A wonderful experience. A place that was frequented by countless artists. Cozy, beautiful and with excellent music.

The food was ok, my fish overcooked, 3 meals came out together, the forth one was 15mins after, the very rude bar man, Noel Gallagher lookalike, wearing dark sunglasses was very rude and unhelpful, will never go again 😎

A legend in Camden. Simply wonderful. Great beers. Great food. Nice mixed crowd. For me one of the best pubs in the world!

The Hawley Arms in Camden is hands-down the best pub in the area! This place has an awesome atmosphere, packed with character and charm that really sets it apart. The decor is incredible, with walls lined with memorabilia and signed photos that give a real sense of history and local culture with an undeniable connection to icons like Amy Winehouse, who famously called this her local. The bar staff are top-notch — friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming, which just adds to the pub’s cozy, laid-back vibe. Whether you’re there for a quick pint or an evening out, The Hawley Arms offers a truly unique experience that captures the spirit of Camden. If you’re in the area, this is a must-visit spot!

Friday night: loud, raucous, great music, everyone having fun, terrific, friendlyLondon party vibe. Great pub.

The Fox and Pud is the best pub in south London, easy place to spend time with friends and family.

Super busy but lovely pub! A historic place

This pud is very cute and comfortable, well furnished and warm! The staff are friendly and there is a good choice of beer. We went for the sunday roast and it was very good, a nice portion with all the parts of the dish that make it traditional! Other dishes on the menu looked interesting too. I recommend making a reservation to eat.

Terrible place they have an area at front of bar and if a member of public sit on seat they arrange fro bouncers to chuck people.out

Love this place and it's history add good food and beer what more can I say

Super nice place, good food and beer Cozy and pretty

We popped in for a few pints. All of a sudden "Cigarettes and Alcohol" was cranked and the entire place was chanting the lyrics. At that point, We knew these were our people. Best Pub in London. Staff was kind. We will return.

Another Camden venue where door staff exclude groups of gays because they’re “too busy”

Door staff refused entry because we used a bin. Oh and we looked gay. Hmm

Amazing venue with fantastic staff, Beers good too 😂🤣😂

Great pub. Friendly bar staff. Love the look of the place.

A real pub as we like them, with excellent traditional cuisine, the staff are very pleasant and welcoming, tasteful decor and soulful music, Sinatra among others, in short a real moment of happiness 💫💫💫

I couldn't go inside the bar, but the mural right behind the unforgettable Amy Winehouse is worth seeing.

Love Camden but not been to this pub before. We went due to Amy connection, the mural outside is stunning , the pub is ok , drinks were fine , the food looked fab. There were plenty of pics on the walls of loads of musicians not just Amy.

Sold out of vegetarian options on a Saturday evening, but offered complementary chips once those orders were cancelled
