Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and Earl of Camden couldn't be closer to the action—just a short walk from major Camden venues.

What People Say

Reviewers love the casual atmosphere and say it’s a “great place to meet before a gig.” The food gets consistent praise for being tasty and well-priced, especially the burgers and pizzas. Many mention the friendly staff and the fact that it’s rarely too loud to talk, even when busy. The selection of craft beers and large screen TVs add to the chill vibe.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests enjoy the laid-back energy, some note that it can get a bit crowded on weekend evenings. Seating is usually available, but larger groups may want to arrive early to snag a good table. Also, it's not the spot for fine dining—this is more about comfort food and a casual pint than gourmet plates.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a show in Camden and want a reliable, fun, and affordable place to eat and drink beforehand, Earl of Camden hits all the right notes.
