   Lovely pub with a great ambiance. Eric behind the bar made sure we had all the drinks we needed

   Be aware a bouncer will yell at you until you go inside at quarter to eleven on a Saturday (main appeal of the pub is beer garden). Another bouncer will refuse to let you bring your drink into the smoking area. You'll queue 30 mins for a warm wine and leave this review in the meanwhile.

   This is a real gem. The jerk chicken here was some of the best I’ve ever had in London and the prices are very good. The homemade coleslaw too was fantastic. Hats off to this pub for the service and for reasonable prices that reflect the cost of living crisis in this city. It was so nice to pay out for something that didn’t break the bank but that was incredibly tasty and of great quality. I’ll definitely be going back and taking another friend next time. Super speedy - and we’re told at the weekend it’s cooked on an open grill too. Lots of outdoor space.

   This is a great pub with three floors, offering plenty of space to relax and enjoy. It’s the perfect place for hangouts or sports nights with friends. The atmosphere is lively, and their music selection is also great with the vibes. I really like this pub and highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun spot to unwind!

   A grand pub, the Abbey Tavern in Kentish Town is a vibrant street corner pub with a little bit of attitude, all good. Not one for the 'real ale' drinkers but a good place to visit. Jolly and off the wall may be a good description methinks. A most enjoyable pint was had, thank you.

   The Abbey Tavern, 8.5/10 Wowzers. Wowzinho. What a place. Really fine establishment, lovely staff in there too. Had a great table out the back, really really something else. We were easily the first in there. Not that it's a competition or anything but WE WERE FIRST MELTS North London is for real. Reviewed 18/04/21 on @northlondonpints Instagram.

   Usually Abbey Tavern is a 4 out of 5. Decent beer, nice outdoor serving, folks in the bar is nice, and they've had some great kitchens (SoBe burgers being a 5/5), however yesterday was not great. A very very sad Guinness and one of the most dry burgers I've had. I know the current kitchen specialise on smoking meat, so maybe that is better, but had both their chicken and beef burger now and they are not good. It wasn't very hectic in the bar, so why not just pour the Guinness properly? Unfortunate to throw away some great potential with these mistakes. My recommendation is to have a chicken burger across the street at Pizza & Chicken Zone before, and order something else than Guinness.

   Wasn’t actually going to bother to leave a review for this Mickey Mouse run pub but might as well. Used to be a fun place to go but now its just falling apart, furniture is shredding, bar staff have no idea how to serve or have any customer service skills, panic when something goes wrong and then give the customer’s attitude. Had poor service and rudeness from Juan, even though he denied being rude, but on a plus side, Sandra (i think thats her name) made up for it and apologised, at least she had some sense. Worst of the worst, the wannabe manager who would belongs in Mcdonalds and would probably fail working there too, Lali delaciyur, she was proud enough of her lack of customer service skills and to give me her name, I actually laughed at the way she spoke to me and at one point even threatened me, felt like I was about to start a UFC bathle, this is probably the only job she would last in as it requires absolutely no effort, anywhere else, she would be sacked instantly. Other than that, the other customers were great and friendly and some offered to let us sit with them after bar staff rudely started moving people around. So many better places in the area and I definitely wont be coming back here. There was only 1 person in the bar that could manage if anything went wrong, the rest, probably students, bless them, struggled. 1 star is a compliment, there was no option for zero.

   A cool bar. Music is too strong to hear the person next to you, but cool ambiance.
