A character-filled alternative bar in Kentish Town known for live music, strong drinks, and a welcoming community atmosphere. The staff are efficient and unfussy, the vibe is dark and inclusive, and it's a reliable spot for metal and rock fans—though it gets packed and loud, so it's not for everyone.
