    I booked this venue for my Husband's birthday and as a surprise video shoot. The location was excellent, the price very reasonable and there was 241 cocktails for the entire duration of our stay. We loved the decor of the venue and it was very clean and air conditioned which was a bonus. The staff went out of their way to adhere to all our weird and wonderful requests (thanks Caitlin and Harris).

    I think I am just a bit too old for this bar. It was full of mostly 18-24 year olds. Very young. Including some underagers who tried their luck (but were kicked out). Probably an excellent place for uni kids. Drinks aren't unreasonable prices and are pretty fun, with trendy names and themes. For me, they're very unsophisticated, ultra sweet, and low ABV. But when you're 19, that is ideal. I know this place would have been awesome when I was that age (if I had bothered drinking anything other than rum&coke or Smirnoff Ice, that is). Cocktails are cheeky and fun. I tried a few, hoping for the best, and couldn't even get a buzz, but they're an experience anyway. Bar staff was awesome. Super hilarious and willing to make all sorts of drinks. Decor is fun in that neon light and graffiti sort of way. I'll say all the patrons were really chill. No screaming hen party groups or anything like that, but everyone was quite young. It's like if your vibe in Camden is "go to Cyberdog, check out an overpriced sneaker shop, get bubbletea, buy fake weed from one of those guys in the market, selfie in front of the Camden bridge", then come here too. You'll love it.

    We hired the venue yesterday for a video shoot and the service was amazing. All the staff were polite, helpful, and even got involved in the videos. I would especially like to give a shout out to Caitlin who was very hospitable and Harris who both assisted us in every way possible. We enjoyed the extra long happy hour and all the cocktails and can't wait to show you all the final video.

    It's probably best suitable for a certain age group i.e. the younger crowd on a night out looking for booz on a budget. Which this Bar delivers on - happy hour with cocktails 2 for £10 and then other options too. It's a vibrant and colourful place, loud music and being in Camden attracts the youngsters. So that's why it's probably not for me. The toilets start to get unbearable as the evening progresses, and watch out for spilled drinks - seems to be a common scene. Finally, most disappointingly - they are still using single use plastic straws. Please get rid of them! I'm sure they're not legal any more

    Most friendly and helpful staff! Hired out part of the bar for my daughter's 21st! Had a great time. Music was on point a great mix through the years and current. The cocktails were mixed to a tea and the 241 made all guests happy. The bar staff and manager really helped when needed. Accommodating looking after the cake, birthday shots and allowing us to make the venue special for the birthday girl. The security guys were lovely too. Not heavy handed or unwelcoming. We had a great experience. Would definitely recommend this venue. And be visiting again.

    I rented the private room at Camden for my birthday and it was amazing, couldn’t recommend more! Having our own music was great, our own bar and bar staff (who were very fun and friendly) and efficient staff. We could bring our own decorations and cake, it was close to the toilets and all in all a great event! Only thing that could be better would if the music could have gone a few dials louder but otherwise was brilliant - thank you Simmons!

    I really like this small cosy bar. We went on a weekday during happy hour. We had lychee martini which was 1 for 1 at only £10. They came in teacups, so cute but most importantly it was delicious. They also gave cocktails served in teapots which I will definitely return to try another time. I love the decor and background music. Very cool vibes. Lovely place to come with friends or come with a date!

    This is a cool place and the staff were great behind the bar. Took a star off as we were sitting at a table and one of the staff came over, said nothing and put down a table reservation for 5 minutes time which made us want to leave. It has a Super Nintendo but I guess you need to ask for the aerial connection. Happy hour deals are decent.

    Drinks have fun themes and are super tasty with good happy hour deals, Monday and Tuesday have special deals such as 2 for £10 on margarita Monday, which is fun! Staff were friendly. Bar has a cool school theme going on which was a nice vibe! Bathrooms were a bit grim and tables were sticky.

    Had a great time here and River the bar man made it extra special!! He understood the assignment and got along with our private 50th party celebration. He blended in so well and looked after us. We weren't sure how it was going to go at the start with how the doorman started but it turned out a fab night. River should really get a raise! Did a great job. Drinks were on point.

    Great bar, the event space downstairs was perfect for our party. Service was amazing and River took great care of us - she was great fun and super talented too! Would come again!

    Great value drinks. Spicy Martini was particularly good. Would definitely recommend. Aaliyah did a great job and gave us some free shots.

    Had a very negative experience with rude bar staff. Got into the bar to redeem a free drink. Was told by the bartender that they didn't have the ingredients to make a drink or even half the drink so apparently it was a bar that lacked gin and apple juice. Nevertheless I understood and tried to make light conversation at which point he rolled his eyes multiple times as if it was a chore to try and serve me and then he told us to go down the street to a different Simmons if we wanted a drink. Just a bad attitude.

    Nice place to grab a drink after a walk down Candem. The happy hour is a good deal and the music is great!

  • 5/5 Stevie R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best place to go in Camden. Amazing cocktails and music. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a good night out.

  • 4/5 Conor994 1 year ago on Google
    Nice little spot but the damn music was too loud. Could only speak to the person next to me and even then we had to shout. This isn't a club.. the music would have still got the place bopping even at a lower volume.

    Camden Town team are absolutely lovely. Jade really made my birthday extra special! Thank you for egging me on with the shot & being so welcoming. Lovely, talkative team. Shout out to Holly also for being such a lovely manager and so nice to customers and even her team! Thank you so much guys xxx

    Cheap cocktails and great music! We had a lot of fun. You get happy hours for the whole night if you’re a student, which is great. Minus one star, because the bathrooms were quite dirty.

  • 5/5 Natalie L. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice bar. Great value drinks in their 'happy hour'. Staff we're really friendly. Steep steps to the loos though!

  • 5/5 AIBM R. 3 months ago on Google New
    Coming to this bar has always been a treat. The bartenders there always make my day after a long day. Tenders like robin, Pedro, river, bolt and Sophie make coming here very vibrant.

  • 5/5 Catherine T. 9 months ago on Google
    Simmons' bar in Camden always has a great atmosphere and fun music. The staff are really friendly and it is really well located for a night on the town! Great drinks offers too!

  • 1/5 Sam S. 4 months ago on Google
    Went here on sat night. Bouncers clearly on a power trip. They beckoned 3 staff over (all male) to come and Stare at my friend before they agreed that her trousers were unacceptable. She has endometriosis and can't wear tight waistbands. They just told us all to leave. Very weird and uncomfortable experience , glad we didn't end up going there

  • 2/5 Aqsa 4 months ago on Google
    It's a chain so it's decorated the same as others. The price of cocktails are still good even after the happy hour. Music played is popular. But i wouldnt go back because the staff are rude

  • 4/5 Jason H. 1 year ago on Google
    Enjoyed the vibe of the place,, old school exam tables and the menus looking like report books. Happy hour is great with cheap drinks. Can get busy, but the staff were great! Almost got the SNES working too. 🎮

    We had a great experience here. Great vibes, friendly staff. We were served by Robyn who was really helpful and fun. Will definitely come back again!

    Went here with some friends. As a queer person I'm used to unusual interactions from drunk people and we had someone harassing my table. However, the manager/bar staff came swiftly to check in with our table and stepped in to make us all feel safe. One of the strongest actions I've seen at creating a safe bar for LGBTQ+ customers I've seen even compared to dedicated LGBTQ venues. Highly recommend here for people who want great drinks, service within a welcoming, safe + fun environment

  • 5/5 Rob S. 8 months ago on Google
    Simmons Bar is right opposite Camden Tube and does some great cheeky deals before 8PM including two very good Mohitos for a tenner! On the few occasions I've been in it has been quiet and the staff are friendly and happy to provide recommendations. With quirky decor and fine cocktails it's the perfect place to meet and get the party going!

  • 5/5 Sandra K. 8 months ago on Google

    I booked a table for 18 for me and my twin sisters 21st birthday. I understand 18 is a big group but I was told it was possible and when we arrived we were given several spread out tables and couldn’t even speak to each other especially as it was so loud in there. Very disappointing especially as I had to pay a £100 deposit which i was told I would recieve the following day after the booking and I did not I had to ring and explain to get it back. Overall very disappointing, I understand if a space does not have the room to accommodate such a large group but I should have been made aware how split apart our group would be. Not a nice atmosphere don’t go if you are celebrating something important.
