The Gipsy Queen NW5

The Gipsy Queen, a historic Kentish Town pub established in 1884, underwent a big refurbishment in 2024. Combining the venue's rich heritage with a modern twist, the updated look includes a fresh new menu while maintaining the pub's laid-back, rock-and-roll vibe—offering cold beer, good food, and attentive service. 

Known for attracting both loyal locals and discreet celebrities, the pub has been a beloved fixture in NW5 for over 150 years. The revamped pub interior boasts a cocktail bar, secret garden, and hidden karaoke room, all designed to evoke old-world charm with a touch of mystery. You can also play pool here, enjoy a live music gig, compete in a pub quiz, and more.

On the food side of things, The Gipsy Queen is now home to a rotating street-food kitchen, with new residents taking over every three months or so. Sunday roasts are served as well, and the pub also hosts supper clubs. The tasty dishes are complemented by a varied drinks list with an emphasis on craft beers, and a shot wheel for those who are brave enough to let fortune guide their night.
