During my quest for the awesome-est pub in North London I decided that the route from Camden High Street to Junction Road would be the best place to start. Camden is about a 20 minute walk from my office on Tottenham Court Road, making it even easier to decide on a whim that going to a pub on a Tuesday night is a brilliant idea.
I feel a bit old (like my parents) admitting this, but I absolutely love comedy nights, which The Camden Head puts on Monday and Tuesday nights. Comedy here will set you back a mere £3 or £5 for 2 tickets.
We came quite early so grabbed we a pint and some food first. Even though I'm the American and the BF is the Brit in this equation, my pub meal of choice is always fish & chips while his is a burger. (WTF?)
Now in honesty, for a pub menu some of the items are taking the piss (wild boar & apple burger, pies that replace meat and beans with leak and butternut squash) but I will fully admit I am a repeat offender for their food. So much so, that when Whitney Dunlap came to visit me from Ohio, I made sure to take her there.

| Inside The Camden Head |
It's a beautiful pub with wooden interior and deep sunken sofas, books and board games for entertainment making this pub resemble a family lounge. And it's no wonder that it felt so cosy and comforting - The Camden Head was voted as having the best staff in 2010! There's also a great photo of Camden High Street on the wall from 1903.
You may have noticed that I've gone on for a bit about the food and neglected the comedy night. I've only gone to their comedy night once, and maybe I came on an off night, but it wasn't that great of an experience. We spent £5 to sit in a crowd of maybe 7 people, 3 of whom were the acts for the night. I've been to free comedy nights that were astoundingly better.
I love The Camden Head; the food is delicious, the atmosphere is relaxed and the cider on draught is crisp and refreshing. Definitely one of my must-visit pubs.
