BrewDog bar just a short walk from Camden tube station. Interior mainly like all other BrewDog bars: industrial, concrete, metal. Seating downstairs as well. Up to 20 BrewDog beers on tap and up to 10 guest beers, mainly from craft brewers in the UK or elsewhere. Vault City seems to be regular guests. Friendly and knowledgeable service. Burgers for food. Not as busy as it used be a couple of years ago. The BrewDog beers have moved into more mainstream macro area over the years (despite all the talk about craft), but well worth a visit for the guest beers.

(Visited May 2025) Restaurant and beer bar in Camden Lock Market. Interior in light wood, lots of seating outside. Six Baladin beers on tap, a handful of cans as well. Had some pizza, good, not huge portions, but fine for a lunch snack. Friendly service. Wasn't too crowded on my visit on a Thursday afternoon. Opening hours like the market, so no late hours. Worth a visit if you're in the area.
