The Oxford Arms, Camden

Well well, where to start? The rudest bar staff i've experienced for a while, asking for a drink was an inconvenience to them. Not one single smile between them, Camden has always been famous for its Gothic connections but it seems the staff here have mistaken it for misery. In fact the only time a member of staff did change their expression was when they messed up one of our food orders and when we asked if it could be corrected the reaction was to laugh in our face and say 'its too late now!' No apology was put forward and to make matters worse two other members of staff looked towards us and shook their heads being more concerned with their trendy hairstyles it seemed. And the toilet had urine all over the floor, I think this pub summed up the whole of Camden 'going downhill and stinking'.

The Camden Head, Islington

I'd just like to point out that Stonch(see below) was probably referring to one of the many comedy nights that take place in the upstairs room. They are all run seperately, but the monday night gig is great, fortnightly you can see established comics doing new material for �4, people like Richard Herring, Milton Jones, Tony Law and I even saw Lenny Henry there once!

USB (Urban Style Bar), Huddersfield

The landlord whoever it may be has finally found how to make this pub work as it used to be an old clinical pub like any other with no character. Now its plush with a classy interior and a great range of drinks from real ale, continental lagers and cocktails. There are also beanbags and even a bed!
