Elephants Head

My brother and I recently visited The Elephants Head in Camden for a casual pint of Guinness. The pub exuded a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere, with cozy stools tucked away in a quiet corner, creating an ideal space for a leisurely conversation. The Irish barman on duty was an absolute gem, displaying exceptional politeness and genuine helpfulness. He even went out of his way to apologize for serving Guinness in plastic glasses, which was due to the bustling Halloween crowd and rapid customer turnover. Despite the temporary plastic serving, the Guinness was expertly poured and tasted great. The overall experience at The Elephants Head was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We’re definitely looking forward to returning for another enjoyable visit. Cheers to a great spot in Camden!

Positives - the atmosphere is great. A lot of energy and good music - nice selection of drinks - nice bar staff Negatives - can get very busy. There isn’t a lot of room in the mid section of the pub so it can get a little crammed around the bar area - the bouncers on one occasion were very rude to someone in a wheelchair. They tried to push this woman in a wheelchair next to the toilets. Which was on the other side of the bar - away from her friends. They had a perfectly fine space before and wasn’t in the way at all. Fortunately, some people saw how upset the girl was and challenged the bouncer. The person in the wheelchair was then able to go back to where her friends were instead of sitting alone next to the toilet door. Seeing that whole experience was quite sad and it seemed like the security had an issue with someone with a disability.

I like this pub. When I visit my son,Camden is a convenient place to go after our Saturday visit to a different venue and good transport links for both of us to return to our own homes. They serve honest burgers, a bit of a wait but good anyway. Follow the market route towards the lock . It's popular so for a lunchtime stop, get in early

The Elephant's Head in the heart of Camden, close to the canal. A delightful fun pub with my favourite pub table, I bet many a beer has been lost on that! Plenty of choice from the keg along with some cask to keep everyone happy. Laid back, great service and a warm homely atmosphere. A great place to drink, great soundtrack too!
