Bucking Fastard left this review about The Cobden Arms
A shop conversion not so much an Irish pub but a pub full of Irish.It's quite basic with two raised carpeted sections right at the back ,the bar to the right and two flatscreens for sport thankfully on mute.
The food menu was pitched at the value end ,light bites £6,mains £9.50 but there must have been a problem with the kitchen flue as the pub interior was smokey and honked of cooking.The barmaid tried to get the cooling system to extract the fumes but this didn't see to work,so the front door was propped open allowing traffic fumes to mingle with the haze.
Just Oakham Inferno on handpump (NBSS 2.5) while Doom Bar and St Austell Tribute clips were reversed.Irish music sessions on Sunday from 6.30pm would not be enough to tempt me back.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Cobden Arms
Inconspicuous pub in the middle of a parade of shops at the south end of Camden High Street near Mornington Crescent underground station. Modest rectangular bar with a central column and two small additional seating areas located up separate half-flights of stairs at the back. Fairly traditional furniture and decor, with a couple of TV screens and some background music. Landlord (£4.20) and the regular Sharp's Atlantic available from the two handpumps on this visit.

Tris C left this review about The Cobden
This is a relatively modern shop conversion named after the 19th century statesman Richard Cobden, whose statue is diagonally opposite. In effect this is a down at heel estate pub in all but location which seems to attract an older crowd and has a slight Irish flavour. A split level interior, furniture is conventional, the pub is bare boarded and music was muted. There were several TVs showing sport with the sound down; the landlord reminded me of a short version of Lurch from The Addams Family. The lavatories are scummy and sport graffiti.
Ales: Sharp's Doom Bar and Atlantic at £2.20 a half which is very steep for this part of Camden, let alone this type of pub.
This sort of place simply isn't my thing so there's no chance of a return visit.
