Camden Town on a Sunday

Hawley Arms, Camden, London, NW1 8QU

Rebuilt after being burnt down with Camden Market a couple of years ago it does actually have a similar vibe about it, we popped in for a couple to have a little rest bite from the hordes outside since it was a Sunday. We sat outside in the little courtyard area since the winter weather seems to be finally making the change to spring. They have a decent selection of four guest ales on tap and we went for the seasonal Greene King Hare Raiser first which was a nice floral traditional bitter, the bitterness was on the heavy since for me, I did enjoy it but wanted something lighter really took a gamble on the Okells Old Skipper and it paid off big time - beautiful golden colour with a slight hint of citrus with combined with slowly maturing flavour which actually was bitter but a totally different milder bitterness than the Hare Raiser, a beer I'll hope to bump into again.

Right next to the tube and sandwiched between two roads this is nicer than it should be, the menu looked appealing and I would think about eating here at some point. The beer selection was minimal and we rather predictably went for the Deuchars IPA which I think was by far best on offer and is a really good afternoon session beer - it was a quick decision at the bar. I wish we'd stayed for another pint of this rather than venturing across the road for old memories sake.

The classic meeting point for a lot of people when rendezvousing up in Camden for a pre-gig drink or two. But really its not up to much and show when we were resigned to drinking Caffreys which is just mass manufactured piss really, should have gone for Guinness. I know it's Camden but the music playing on the stereo was shocking metal and turned my mind to avoiding here - but you know I'll end up in here again one day before some gig down the road, it feels like it'll always be here and always be the same.
