  “Seems to me that this is primarily a music venue😀 Yes it’s a pub downstairs and you can eat but it’s all about the music😀🎹🎸🎤🎶 Upstairs to a small dark area with a stage. Great band last night. “Code Name Colin”😀🥁 Great noisy atmosphere but a great vibe too😀 Watching family playing in a band and having a whale of a time 😀😂🎹🎤 Highly recommended 😀🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿”

  “Burger was OK, chips were amazing, beer was cold, staff was friendly and metal all the time in the background... Carcass, Morbid Angel, Metallica, Obituary, yeah.”

  “Recently had a blast here at desertfest. Beers and ales aplenty on tap, great music and atmosphere. Friendly bar staff who worked their butts off. The upstairs venue holds a wealth of bands throughout the day of which I saw several. Small bar is open up there too. Could do with the ability to serve tap water up there as it gets crazy hot when it's crowded. Some bands were one in one out. The five stars is for the new menu though. I tried a desertfest special spicy burger and chips. Wasn't expecting much but turned out to be the best meal of the weekend. Burger was good quality and actually spicy which I love. Crispy onions, jalapenos and sauces with salad. Chips were chunky and cooked to perfection. Could do with some side sauces maybe. But went down well with a festival stout 👌. Chef really knew what they were doing. About £15 all in.”

  “Interesting rock bar, dropped in for a beer with my wife who insists on rock/goth bars. Nice beer, especially the black stuff.. very dark and moody. The toilets were definitely rock festival themed 🤢, but otherwise great place.”

  “Really awesome place in Camden if you're looking for something alternative. A lot of heavy metal synthesized with punk elements, and some heavier stuff too. Very good staff, came Saturday evening and it wasn't super busy, we're very helpful to both me and my dad (diabetes and celiac) and accommodated us well.”

  “On a business trip to London and fancied seeing a band ... ended up at.The Black Heart. What a venue! Bar playing continuous metal and rock with a great selection of beers.Bar staff friendly and efficient. Upstairs an intimate venue. Saw Hiraes - awesome. Will be back even if it's just for beers.”

  “One of my favourite metal pubs in Camden has a proper great atmosphere, good tunes and a good selection on draft. The staff are great and friendly my go to pints are the London Black stout which is nice and the Unbrella blackcurrant cider. The Metallica pinball machine is awesome! A fantastic pub for metalheads and everyone, definitely worth a visit next time your in Camden🤘”

  “Came here for the Sunday roast and struggled to decide between the available options. I settled on the glazed pork, which is tofu based. It comes with roast potatoes, carrots, kale, a divine mustard sauce, ‘crackling’ and plenty of gravy. Oh! And a Yorkshire pudding of course. The portion of generous and very tasty. Unfortunately, some of the menu items were no longer available and the staff seemed a little overwhelmed which led to some delays. Still, given my live for heavy metal and alternative pubs, I would come back here again, no doubt. Note: music is being played, so you might have to raise your voice to have a conversation, which might not be to everyone’s taste.”

  “I went for the vegan roast and the food tasted incredible!! We got the tofu as our protein. We had zero complaints. I will say that we waited ages for the food to arrive, about 40 minutes but the food was super tasty”
