The Black Heart

Love this pub. Tourist free as down a side street. Super dark deco, freindly staff on door and bar. Not the quickest to serve but hey, this ain't some Weatherspoon's where they are trying to plough through masses of shouting people. Don't know if they do food but recommend you come here for drinking only (plus a little dance if there's room!!) One bad point, cider is way too expensive here and they do the poncey Swedish stuff in bottles for £5 each. They are 3 for £5 at Sainsbury's round the corner.

Nice boozer with good service. The staff are friendly and care for the details. The ambient is classic pub style and the food is nice also. Give The Black hearth a try, you will be glad.

First, the good points about The Black Heart... the staff. The staff here are really friendly and attentive - quick to serve. The place also has a nice layout, decent selection of beers on tap and they can make cocktails. Great for a couple of drinks and if the weather is nice, the folding door/windows are opened up bringing a bit of fresh air in (and also makes it easier to pop out for a fag). They have personal pizzas, haven't had one of these but they seem to be popular.

The bad point and this goes for so many bars/pubs in London - the music. Old "classic" / safe tunes. Why oh why for an area that is supposed to be cutting edge and hip do all the bars including The Black Heart not play up to date rock/indie music. the tunes here are all "safe" (ie Rolling Stones, a message to you Rudy - if I hear this one more time....).

come on Black Heart, you have the opportunity to get it right and play new tunes for us looking for a good bar that's a bit more edgy!

i'm surprised no one has reviewed the black heart yet!! Down a side alley just before you get to camden tube. Went here for a mates Birthday. The trendy decor has a dark mexican day of the dead feel to it, making this bar/ pub a cool place to 'hang out' in. Friendly door men and bar staff. I recommend you pop into this real hidden gem
