The Camden Assembly

Under 300 people… Under 300 people at a concert played by a band with 20,000,000 monthly listeners, and tens of millions of social media followers. twenty one pilots you put on one hell of a show in such an amazing venue. However… Security teams outside were refusing entry to genuine fans with genuine tickets due to an overestimation of people attending and that to me is absolutely appalling. They were also asking for ID on the door which I do understand, however there were fans who were 15 without any identification as we were not told when we purchased the tickets that ID was required! This lead to even more people being unable to attend the evening. The amount of people in tears… Definitely something that isn’t going to hang easy for the venue over the coming weeks.

Just seen Twenty One Pilots here. Genuinely unforgettable night, but soured by the thought that there were fans outside with legit tickets who weren’t allowed in as the venue was overbooked. If I’d arrive a couple of minutes later I would have been turned away. Shameful behaviour by the management team here.

Great pub. Lots of interesting beers. Food quality burgers etc. Nice seating. Not cheap but great atmosphere. Upstairs is a live music venue which has a great range of bands playing, like Emie Nathan.

A great little venue, this concert in particular was very passionate and so the smaller space made it very hot and tight - make sure you’re hydrated

Iconic music venue. Great Pub downstairs with a room upstairs with live music all through the week. Get up close to the music in a small venue. Check out the listings for some really decent bands; some you might not expect. Bar is not too pricey and staff friendly and quick to serve. Support the small gig venues; support music and support locality.

Went to see a band Sub-Radio in rhein upstairs venue and it was amazing! Very small and intimate, well air conditioned so Not too hot aswell

Seemed like a nice atmosphere so popped in with 2 friends. Asked which alcohol free beer was available. Was told by barman "non, cos this is an effing fun bar" when asked what he meant, he repeated the same line. For 3 people who don't drink for various reasons, including past addiction issues, this is totally shocking. We will not, obviously, be back

This pub deserves more, as it has a great atmosphere, a happy hour, and live music. However, it gets marked down for the impressively rude service that we had. In an amazing accomplishment, the woman who served us behind the bar managed to do it without speaking to us once. Instead of asking what we wanted I'm even willing to forgo a greeting she just stared at us. As typically British people, there was an awkward couple of seconds of silence before we realised that she was wanting to know what we wanted to drink. After ordering our drinks she went about making them in the slowest possible manner and instead of then telling us the final total, she just turned round the ipad for payment without any further acknowledgement. I'm okay with not having the friendliest of people serve me, however I genuinely was amazed at how rude this lady was. Drinks were fine, but we didn't stick around go take advtange of the rest of the happy hour or the music!

Nipped in on a Friday evening for a quick drink. Staff were nice and friendly and service was quick. Was quite busy with just one little table empty which was lucky. They play a good selection of the 00s and 10s indy rock bands like the killers, strokes, franz ferdinand, white stripes, etc which had everyone humming and singing away. My phone was dying and the only spare plug socket I could find was faulty. Was a good atmosphere though and I'd go back.

Nice bar with club stroke music venue upstairs. Drinks reasonable for Camden, djs play RnB and Hip-Hop most weekends until 2-3am so always good for a late drink
