Another visit to Tapping The Admiral yesterday and things are still very much as they were on my previous visit in July last year. Nelson was still asleep on his cushion and there were once again a handful of regulars at tables and on stools at the bar. 8 ales were on - Purity Bunny Hop, XT 8 Porter Dark Roast, Windsor & Eton Guardsman & Canberra, By The Horns Skydust & Stiff Upper Lip, Hackney Don't Call It A Comeback & Mad Squirrel Redwood. There were also a couple of ciders - Bollhayes Medium & Oliver's Making Hay.

Previous Review 11/7/21:

Monday was my first visit here for several years. Little has changed in that time. It's still a cosy street corner pub, close to Kentish Town West Overground station.

Staff were pleasant, the cat still keeps up appearances and the beer and cider range is still good. On this visit, the Nelson's Whiskers was accompanied by Moor Revival, Five Points Pale, Portobello Central Line Red, Redemption Big Chill & Fellowship Porter & Purity Ubu. The real ciders were SeaCider Medium & Turners Medium-Dry.

A CAMRA discount was also proactively offered. This is still a really decent pub.

I thought i had been in this pub before but confused it with the Grafton.Busy cask led pub with 9 or 10 beers on .My two London brewery beers were good and a guy alerted me to the camra discount.Plenty of in your face characters but enjoyable none the less
