The Constitution, NW1

In a desperate bid to try and find some half-decent places in Camden to get a beer before the Manics gig, I pottered round some of the backstreets to see what I found. This was my first and best stop of the day. After a five minute walk from the tube station I spotted this one - from the outside it looks like a traditional pub and the inside delivers a modern-trad feel, with pool table, jukebox and dartboard. Three ales were on offer (Broadside, Deuchars IPA and a Wyre brew), my Deuchars was in excellent form and the large foamy head was topped-up without asking. As it was a sunny day I ventured outside and was rather pleased to discover a lovely beer garden right on the canal side. The summer sun appears to travel over from the back of the garden down to set over the front of it which is fantastic in the summer months. Basic fried food was on offer, which seemed to be going down well. A very positive first impression and I would recommend it to others. I'm planning a return next time I'm in the area.
