Picture of Camden Head, NW1 0LU

Historical version 3 of Camden Head, NW1 0LU (view current version)

A pub/bar on Camden High Street, which used to be called Liberties but has returned to the pub's original name.

Even as the Liberties Bar, it's not really as bad as that name suggests, though it does get packed at peak times, and was entirely rammed downstairs on a Saturday evening in January 2009. It has a late licence until around 1am.

However, if one visits at others times, there's a fairly large downstairs space, mostly open-plan, with a pool table and some comfortable couches as well as tables. Upstairs is a bookable function room, good for smallish clubs, though it can get warm.

Downstairs, they have a couple of handpulls for ale (Adnam's and Pride), as well as the usual lagers. Service is perfectly friendly. (There's a tiny bar upstairs with a couple of draught taps, but this doesn't appear to be used.)

Comment added by Damerell: I was in here on a recent Thursday night and the piped music (and hence bellowed conversation) was agonisingly loud, far louder than is typical even of circuit pubs, to the point that the gig we went to afterwards provided relative peace and quiet. If this is a regular thing it might be worth mentioning.
