The Old Crown Public House in Camden

Very good place. Exceptional atmosphere. Very friendly attention and outstanding ambient music. From rock to reggae through Clash + blues + soul....ohhh my god!!! 😀😀

Great place to sit down after a day of walking. Very nice and accommodating personel.

Amy is an absolute credit to this bar, she’s an absolute ray of sunshine and deserves a pay rise because she’s fabulous made my night here

Such a nice pub with friendly vibes. The bathrooms are upstairs and clean, with multiple stalls, although one was out of TP and it wasn’t apparent if there were towels or dryers to dry hands. The food was good and the beer was good. They offered gluten free San Miguel beer. I’d give 5 stars if the service was more warm and friendly. Next time I’ll have to remember to take photos.

Square, good cocktails and go there they are generous in HH!! People, really go for it!

Went there with my wife and we loved it Polite barman not bad prices for London and crazy painting throughout

Fantastic atmosphere, live music was awesome, waiter was friendly and the drinks were fantastic! 10/10 would recommend again!

The vegetarian Sunday roast was great and the bartender was super nice

Since it's near Covent Garden and it was a Saturday, it was very crowded. We barely got a table, but the vibe and the beer are great.

Small little pub with standard beers on tap, pretty dead on a Friday afternoon. The River town IPA was too sweet for me and lacked the hop bitterness that I would expect in an IPA. Service was fine, indoor and outdoor seating.

Great little place to stop off between visiting the British Museum and going shopping 🙂 Fab little place and lovely staff.

Great cocktails, great atmosphere

Cool place near the British Museum. Traditional English cuisine. Good books for reading. Nice atmosphere.

The cheesy garlic bread is great. One of the bartenders must've forgotten his smile at home when we went but he was still very nice. The only bad point is that the location is at a crossroads so it can get very loud if you're sitting outside.

Just spent £6.50 for a half pint, feeling robbed!!

Only come here if you like very warm lager, I had to ask barmaid to put ice into the pint and told her that I had colder cups of tea and coffee, a disgrace, they should've offered me an alternative drink, unless all their lagers are served warm, will never be back!

Maddie was a really great bartender, really good drinks and really lovely chat x

Karaoke room… expensive and absolute rubbish. Staff, especially owner… rude and obnoxious. Please don’t waste your money for any form of occasion at this establishment… Food was included as part of the package but on the evening… Kitchen was closed. If you want a dingy, dark, beer smelling pub, by all means, this is your type of pub.

We went as a group of colleagues. Fantastic experience. Really nice athomsphere. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. On our day chef called in sick, but they did manage to sort out food. Andrew was super supportive through the whole booking process. Highly highly recommend

Rude staff who look like their on a come down or possibly on something.

Basically overcrowded and noisy, simply house be too busy at time. Choice of food be not much. But pricing be decent for area.

Had a great time watching the match with fun atmosphere. A good selection of drinks with friendly and helpful staff to help you navigate your way through. Food was decent, albeit we only tried the pizza and a portion of fries (though I was really impressed by the staff asking what we did/didn’t like about anything and how it could be improved). The decor and ambience of the venue is what really stood out - you enjoy the venue by looking at the wall, layout and the way the place has been preserved (as a pub). *Pet-friendly* Look forward to either passing through or organising a table for an evening out.

One of the hidden gems in London, in my opinion. The general manager Mitch is easy to talk to fun guy with great stories and is awesome host.

Our base for a good pint. And mention to the bartender who kindly spoke French to us 👍😉

Staff so rude. Nothing good about this pub apart from opening hours

I was passing by and went in and had a beer. The atmosphere was nice and the beer was delicious.

Something tells me people don’t just stay for one 1. There’s a karaoke room 2. They do stand up comedy on Wednesday evenings 3. They have massive doors that are propped open in the summer - strong summer vibes

Staff were super lovely and the pub had a great atmosphere! Would 100% come back again for drinks with maybe a cheeky karaoke session :)

Great pub with a London feel. A must visit if you want the experience of a traditional London pub!

Sharing details of my experience with the a particular doorman. Ive been in this pub a few times, chiefly because Im often at the Museum of Comedy across the road. Had a drink early evening in here and as usual very friendly and professional staff. Nice atmosphere. Went to go back into the pub at 10pm with a female friend, just the two of us, not an big group of guys etc. to be clear. Immediately two bouncers stepped in front of the door. One said nothing so no issue with him. The other was immediately rude and aggressive for no reason, asking what 'we want', 'what we are doing etc' (apparently there was a private function - but he could have obviously been polite and explained but chose not to be). Really odd and completely out of keeping for a pub in this area. He was very definitely trying to come across as street and gangster and intimidating, to two ordinary people trying to go in for a drink - was laughable honestly but also just completely unnecessary. Ending with him telling me, we weren't welcome and 'go home' shooing his hand at me. Had a good slanging match with him which he entirely initiated with his attitude. Shame for a pub in a nice area.

Great place! Nice atmosphere and all, but the customer service was the best - there was a slight delay with the food and Valentina at the bar handled it like a pro! Major props for that :)

Great little pub on walk to Covent garden

A Timeless Gem: The Old CrownLocated in the heart of London, The Old Crown is a quintessential British pub exuding charm and character. With classic pub fare, cozy ambiance, and friendly staff, it offers an authentic experience for locals and visitors alike.

Got rejected at the door cause we were not with a girl my group are on a stag do so obviously we are not with any girls absolute joke bouncers were very rude and disrespectful

Clean, fast service, nice barkeeper, good beers :)

Never felt more unwelcome in pub. Got told by the bouncers when we entered that they only accepted mixed groups only (we were 3 guys) unless we gave them money or a free drink. We agreed to give them a free red bull when we entered to which they agreed. At the bar, we ordered 3 pints and a redbull and paid. They never gave us the redbull and was told that was the payment for the bribe. When I asked the manger if he knew the door staff and bar staff were taking bribes, he said "i know". Shocking behaviour.

We stopped here for a Guinness after the show at the ROH. Cozy place and very pleasant service.

Over priced £32 for 2 double gin and pump tonic

A midweek visit at 6.00pm a good buzz about the pub. Sadly, the menu only had two choices, and I wish I hadn't made a choice. Expensive and poor quality.

Food was soooo nice, and staff were so friendly :)

Really lovely little pub. Great atmosphere and the decor is cool. Not trying to hard just a classic with a trendy feel

Great pub, great atmosphere watching the rugby n great guy behind the bar,

Absolutely extortionate, not worth the time and money. DO NOT BOOK WITH BRAZEN MONKEY. Was scammed into paying £340 when I was told it would be £100. Ruined my 18th birthday.

Went to a friends bday. over a call she was told it was £100 for the whole thing. up front they asked for £240. they didn’t explain anything beforehand just left us to our own then pretty much scammed us definitely not worth it also there’s a leaky roof. Me and my friends were literally being splashed. Terrible experience won’t be going again.

Rest stop to have a drink. Very attentive service

Didn't eat here hence the one star as we just popped in for a drink. Always nice to find and check out a new boozer and this one on the fringes of Bloomsbury doesn't disappoint. Friendly service and a nice selection of beers. The place was pretty busy for an early afternoon and had a varied mix of people including young families which is always a good sign. Definitely worth checking out.

Surprise, while walking we see it from the outside, it is impressive, you enter, it is even more so. Attentive service, excellent beers on tap, tried the burgers in 3, well made, paid the right price. We will be back

Very nice place. They have gluten free beer!!

Lovely spot (33 is also my lucky number) Was meeting very old friends & comrades & we had a delightful time 💬👪🍻

The food was good. But I like when a restaurant or pub has transparency in its prices. The waiter charged us a service charge 12,5 % which wasn't written anywhere in menú and he did It before serving the meal for making you to pay it

Piccolo pub ma accogliente. Michael è stato molto disponibile e ha provveduto a riparare un errore del cuoco. Alette, hamburger e patatine davvero gustosi!

Too loud music in the lower bar area! Impossible to chat and nobody was dancing or enjoining it. Also, security didn’t allow to go outside with drinks for some reason…

Really prompt service. Nice food. Homemade would be nice but good quality anyway

Nice place to hang with friends. Menu isn’t substantial so don’t expect a proper meal. They only have some Mexican tacos and quesadillas as small bites. We ordered the drinks special - 2 for 1.

Awesome atmosphere, great selection of drinks and attentive staff.

Watched Rugby, drank beer, staff helpful

Nice building, good location, very average beer.

They do not do food only drinks

My friends and I decided to visit this bar for a casual evening of drinks. As we approached the entrance, the security staff claiming that the bar was closing ahead of schedule. However, we saw through their ruse and insisted on entering. Once inside, we were met with a different story altogether. The attentive bar staff informed us of the actual operating hours, which contradicted the false information provided by the security team. It was quite the rollercoaster of events! While we managed to enjoy our evening eventually, it's worth noting the questionable conduct of the security personnel at the door. Their attempt to deceive us about the bar's closing time left us scratching our heads. It's important for future visitors to be aware of this peculiar situation and approach the bar with caution. In the end, we couldn't help but chuckle at the absurdity of the situation. Despite the initial hiccups, we made the most of our time at the bar. However, we feel it's essential to share our experience and warn others about the dodgy security practices at the entrance. So, if you're planning a visit to this establishment, keep your wits about you and be prepared for a slightly unconventional entrance. Happy imbibing, and may you have smoother encounters with the security staff than we did!

Top notch service and custom cocktails by the bartender.

Beautiful place, amazing atmosphere, awesome staff

Close to both the British Museum and the Holborn Station. A brilliant selection of beers to try before buying and outside seats.

It’s live till 3am, I was looking for pub at 2 and found this one. The atmosphere is really nice and cozy. I would recommend.

We went in just for beer this afternoon. They offered Rivertown Pilsner and IPA. The best drafts we’ve found in London so far. It was a great location, close to the British Museum but quiet and relaxing inside. Staff was very friendly and personable.

Sehr freundlicher, zuvorkommender Barkeeper, gute Musik und gemütliche Atmosphäre. Beim nächsten London Besuch komme ich auf jeden Fall wieder. Grüße Jürgen aus Österreich

Went to celebrate my mates 60th birthday ,loved all three floors must of been 60 stairs ! Hope I don't get invited to his 100th

It doesn't really have food options, but it's a good choice for those who likes to drink beer and it's not an expensive place.

Really sad to rate poorly! We visited on a Friday evening for a drink and really enjoyed it but Saturday night we attempted to visit for a drink before returning to our hotel and were greeted by 2 of the rudest alleged bouncers. They looked my husband up and down and refused to let him in. I pointed out how rude he was and they became very aggressive. Very disappointing. I say alleged bouncers as they had no formal evidence they were when I questioned them.

Good pub with a good selection of alcoholic beverages

Stumbled on this place looking for a pit stop in central London and was impressed. Karaoke room for hire looked pretty decent as well. Staff friendly, patrons all sound. Good spot to know!

We use a function room upstairs every week and it's good each time. The drinks are a little spenny but it is in central London do....

My previous workplace was close to a pub, so I used to go there with my customers and staff to take a break after work. Today, after quitting my job, I went with the staff who had been working for me for the first time in a long time. The staff welcomed me and gave me a shot because I was a regular. I asked him if he remembered me and he said yes of course, which made me very happy. I haven't written a review yet, but I thought this pub really valued its regulars See you soon Thank you so much!! From dear Japanese and Chinese customers.

Excelente la cerveza y la musica

Os bares britânicos são únicos qual deles o melhor ! É impossível dizer. Bom negócio a todos e tratem bem os clientes. Obrigado

Comida buena, precio razonable, pero no pidas agua, no te la van a servir, cerveza, si.

One of my favourite spots in London. Multiple floors. Decent beer selection. Solid place to meet up and everyone has a good time.

Came here for the first time. Fantastic service. Feels like a local to the point where even the locals are being cool and I fw it. Vibes are vibezy

Thank you Ty for making us for very welcome!! Best bar in the area, ask for Ty. Thank you so much y

Super bar avec un service chaleureux. Des cocktails délicieux, le bar man est super doué et à perçu nos gouts sans même que l'on ne lui dise. Ayant commander des cocktails de son propre choix on a était très agréablement surprit ! Le bar fais aussi office de source pour un escape game via le site Mystery City. Un superbe escape game retraçant l'histoire de la pandémie du choléra à Londre qui nous permet de visiter le quartier !

Great bar The cocktails are excellent, well prepared, and wide choice of alcohol. Barman very sympathetic. Beautiful place

Hier word je op een manier verwelkomd dat je je meteen een zware crimineel voelt. Vriendelijkheid niet oké.

Card only, not much of a choice as far as food is conserned, family small area, some choice of drinks, good staff though, can't complain

Friendly atmosphere and helpful staff.

So i went here with 2 friends and 15 minutes after the 2nd round the lady that had served us advised that the Amex card used for that round didn't go through as they do not accept Amex. Not a problem. My friend asked for a rejection receipt and whilst the lady was explaining to us that they do not get these receipts for Amex (my mate was getting his Monzo card out to pay), the landlord decided to get involved and said that my mate should pay for the drinks and check his card in the morning. He was about to pay for the drinks anyway but the landlord was incredibly rude and asked us to leave the pub. My friends went to the toilet and I stayed at the bar to finish my drink, at which time the landlord decided to belittle the situation. I do not leave many reviews but have to say that the landlord is not fit to run a bar. He did not need to get involved as my friend was about to pay for the drinks on his Monzo card but felt the need to show his authority when his member of staff was handling the situation perfectly. Maybe take a leaf out of her book in future pal.

The two of us wanted a quick drink and an authentic pub ambiance in contrast the sleek hotel scene. We found a Great place that really accomplished what we wanted. Friendly and helpful bar staff. A great beer selection Rugged stemware An incredible old city bar ambiance The largest aperol spritz I have ever seen

It was advertising vegan food outside, so went in for a bite to eat. There was a menu posted on the wall, but no real menu cards. I was told to scan the QR code menu and order through the app on the phone; you HAVE to order through app, can’t order with waiter off the mobile phone menu. I asked what if I don’t have a phone with me or don’t have a smart phone, "sorry we can’t do anything". The app then proceeds to ask my name and email address, I asked why is that needed? "Just in case we have to contact you", but I’m sitting right in front of you! Sorry can’t over-ride. End up ordering via app, and paying through it. It had the gall to add a 10% tip I couldn’t remove, for what??? I did all the work, you just brought the dish to me at the end. That’s all. The staff isn’t the issue here, they are doing what they can do and have no choice on ordering. It’s the pub owner I have an issue with. Don’t give him the business, yes it’s very likely a him, women have better sense. And the food was average at best.

The 2 doormen are atrocious and the staff are not much better. Awful experience. The pub it’s self is alright and a decent atmosphere - but the staff made our group feel very unwelcome.

We bumped into this small pub by accident and were really glad that we did. Pretty Victorian design, very nice vibes, a nice welcoming lady running the bar. Didn't get to try the food, but the wines were decent. Will gladly visit again when in London.

I booked The Snug for my sister in laws hen and everything was great. The communication was great, price was really good, I was able to post a banner directly to the venue that they put up which was helpful as I don't live in London. The staff were really friendly and we had a fridge stocked with drinks when we arrived, really delicious vegan food and the karaoke was a HUGE hit. We had the absolute best time! I would recommend hiring The Snug for certain!

Rude staff. Over priced drinks. There’s one member of staff that’s always high on drugs. Smashed my friends drinks one night. Glass everywhere. Tried to get a refund. They only gave us cheaper quality drinks. Don’t bother going. Dodgy place!

Muy tranquilo y agradable este pub equilibrado entre tipismo y modernidad. Muy buen Fish & Chips acompañado de unos aros de cebolla y una fabulosa Guinnes Conocido en viaje de Marzo de 2016

Visitamos el Museo britanico y por casualidad entramos en este pub para comer. El restaurante lo tienen en la primera planta. Fue un acierto total. La comida esta muy buena y elaborada, es tipica britanica y los precios para lo que hay en londres son aceptables. Tienen varias cervezas de barril por lo que es un acierto. El servicio fué muy bueno y el camarero estuvo atento y fue muy agradable. Lo recomiendo si quieres sentirte en un ambiente británico.

Lovely staff. Plenty of good food. A nice private room at the top of the building with its own bar. If needed to have a party in town this is the place to be.

Working locally, popped in for a quick lunch,Saturday midday it was quiet, but filled up later, frequented by tourists and locals, limited menu offered, no real children's options, but fine for adults. of the 2 members of staff on duty, one was customer focused, the other, as a school inspector may say, needs improvement.

Great spot, pleasant staff who are attentive and spark up a great conversation. A very cozy spot with a fantastic atmosphere.

This place is a trashy, filthy disaster — staff are incredibly rude. Don’t go here — it’s terrible and no good beer

We were served promptly by a fabulous Kiwi bartender Aidan. Bespoke G&T selection. Great ales on tap. Good British “pub grub” by a fine Albanian chef. Would recommend without question to anyone who asked. Worth every penny!

The Old Crowne is a nice pub to have a beer. Given its location its always on the busy side either with people have drinks after work or tourists. Came here for a a bite to eat with friends before going out. I wasn't expecting a Gastro pub experience but some thing that was edible.The food when it arrived (2 x burger and fries + chicken wings) were cold. The fries were so white they looked like they had never seen a fryer and were not at all crispy. The guy who served them checked them at the table (by eating a sample) Whilst the burger looks 'good' the actual burger was a real cheap highly processed not what you expect.Wings were returned cold also. They didn't come before we left.Bartender server was obviously embarrassed with the food and got us a round of drinks to apologise.

Un agradable y concurrido bar con una buena selección de bebidas, etc.Estuvimos aquí para una función y tuvimos un buffet en el piso superior, que fue satisfactorio y abundante.Las instalaciones estaban bien, pero el acceso por las escaleras puede ser un poco precario para algunos, pero es un buen lugar para una celebración.

Location: Bloomsbury close to the British Museum Atmosphere: old pub Service: OK Food and drink: not bad for a pub
