Tapping The Admiral

Behold, the greatest pub in the world? Why, you ask? Because it has a fluffy black cat sitting on a tiny sofa next to a fireplace. I can see you nodding your head and saying, ‘yes, this does sound like the greatest’. As a non-​animal owner, I love pets in pubs. In fact, I wish I could set up my own chain of places called Pubs with Pets.
Anyway, the rest of the pub is pretty good too. They do an insane selection of giant pies with mashed potato. The whole night I was there, plates and plates of pies went whizzing by my head and I was in pie-​dreamland. Picture it now, ‘Pubs with Pets ‘N’ Pies’. I’d be a millionaire.
Aside from the pets and pies, it’s a genuinely nice local boozer with loads of room to sit down with friends. Music choices are great and the warmth of the fireplace just makes you want to move in and curl up next to it.
Go here, you won’t regret it.

Really good food, lovely beers and nice staff. A nice littlelocal that brings on a mix of clientele. If you’re in the area, it’s worth a visit.

When here a few weeks ago with a mate. Nice pub good selection of ales on tap. Vast improvement from when it was the tavern in the town.

Quirky little pub hidden in the back streets of Kentish Town. Loved the random décor (lampshade, bookshelf, cool lights in the garden/​outdoor area). The staff are really friendly and if you’re a fan of ales, it’s the place to go (they let you sample the ales and beers in shot glasses too). If you’re in the Camden area, it’s definitely worth the short walk there.

Steak pies here are definitely the way to go with a bit of Elvis in the background. A great pub quiz on the Wednesday and this pub has all the trimmings. Lots of different bitters and real ales. Alas no stouts. Other big plus, close to the overground, so can stumble home safely.

A top notch pub tucked down a quiet street. There are several rooms to explore, plus a tucked away back garden area in an alleyway. The keg beers are pretty regular, but there are always some top notch local or regional cask beers, which rotate constantly. This is one of those pubs that now house a Thai restaurant instead of a traditional kitchen, and their red curry is stellar. The best part about Tapping the Admiral? It’s affordable (I could almost say cheap). Two pints and two entrees will barely set you back £20.
Generally it’s a pretty low key place, and they sometimes have pretty decent live music (not sure if it’s a regular thing).

Great local’s pub, but welcoming to newcomers. Reputation for pies, but new menu (today!) is fantastic, and veggies get a good shout. Beer is exceptional, range and quality. Can’t stay away!

This pub serves some really good beers, especially when
they offer up the dangerously strong nectar that is Redemption Big Chief.
Can get annoyingly cramped in places around the pub and I’ve never really felt
too much of an atmosphere here, in part because of this layout. I still like it
a lot though.
The name has nothing to do with sex with a seafarer.
