Old Eagle, Camden
FancyaPint?'s review...
The Old Eagle is an excellent pub that has by and large resisted any major refurbishments or other unnecessary trappings. Instead it's a genuine, friendly local boozer, with a good mixed crowd and friendly service. Stripped floorboards jostle with fiddles and other bits 'n' pieces attached to the ceiling, creating a cosy and quirky atmosphere. The choice of ale is a bit of a letdown, with only Old Speckled Hen on tap, while food comes from that late 90s throwback - a Thai Menu. Nevertheless, for a simply good, unpretentious time this is certainly one of the better pubs in Camden.

Ding dong. Very good boozer, with a mixed crowd but watch for a guy in a red tracksuit.
On a recent visit Leslie Phillips walked in, the pretty barmaid looked at him and said, "The usual? Champagne?"
Marvellous.
On a later visit some geezer had a run with a trio of thick set cricket players. But it ended with firm handshakes - instead of the usual kissing and making up. It's that kind of a place.
The food is Thai, freshly cooked and of pretty good quality.
Well worth a visit.
