Verified Reviews of Private Bars in Camden
Unique and iconic space! Extremely reasonable deposit and minimum spend compared to other venues for hire in London. Imogen was available to answer all questions leading up to the event. Drinks, lights and music were all in place as arranged on arrival with no hassle. Great night, great venue!
The staff were so friendly, including the bouncers. The venue was a really lovely setting to celebrate my partners 30th birthday. We hired decs and this was all set up for us. The minimum spend wasn’t outrageous either. I can’t fault it and would recommend :)
I loved the venu so much- the staff who was working there were amazing and communication with organising the venu was great too
Great sized venue with a good selection of drinks to suite every taste. Staff were lovely and very helpful and accommodating, always quick to reply to any queries leading up to our event booking. For the price you really can’t go wrong!
Great cocktail menu, super friendly and helpful staff, great location and really good value for money. The room out the back was ours for the night and had capacity for more people than it looks like it will in the pictures
Great caretaker Great communication with owner Big venue Many facilities e.g. sound system Clean venue Super kind!
Venue was amazing. Affordably priced, and my guest kept raving how nice everything was. Drinks were also really good. And staff was super helpful setting up music and organizing catering.
